    The structure of the yeast Ctf3 complex

    Stephen M Hinshaw, Andrew N Dates, Stephen C Harrison
    The cryo-EM structure of the yeast Ctf3 complex enables near-atomic modeling of most Ctf19c/CCAN factors and their interactions.

    Distinct inflammatory and wound healing responses to complex caudal fin injuries of larval zebrafish

    Veronika Miskolci, Jayne Squirrell ... Anna Huttenlocher
    Thermal injury and infected wounds induce distinct inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms that alter the dynamics of wound repair.

    Functional divergence of Plexin B structural motifs in distinct steps of Drosophila olfactory circuit assembly

    Ricardo Guajardo, David J Luginbuhl ... Jiefu Li
    Systematic in vivo analysis reveals the divergent engagement of Plexin B structural motifs in distinct neurodevelopmental processes and a regulatory role of convertase cleavage in Plexin B signaling.

    Vps8 overexpression inhibits HOPS-dependent trafficking routes by outcompeting Vps41/Lt

    Péter Lőrincz, Lili Anna Kenéz ... Gábor Juhász
    Recruitment of HOPS tethering complex to target membranes to promote vesicle fusions requires proper complex assembly and specific small GTPases, and HOPS is not transformed from the related miniCORVET complex.

    Determining cellular CTCF and cohesin abundances to constrain 3D genome models

    Claudia Cattoglio, Iryna Pustova ... Anders S Hansen
    Absolute quantification of CTCF and cohesin reveals quantitative constraints on 3D genome organization and illuminates the molecular architecture of the cohesin complex.

    Asymmetry between the two acidic patches dictates the direction of nucleosome sliding by the ISWI chromatin remodeler

    Robert F Levendosky, Gregory D Bowman
    Unlike Chd1, ISWI remodelers preferentially shift asymmetric nucleosomes toward the side possessing a wild type acidic patch, regardless of DNA lengths flanking the nucleosome.

    PI3K-Yap activity drives cortical gyrification and hydrocephalus in mice

    Achira Roy, Rory M Murphy ... Kathleen J Millen
    Embryonic PI3K-Yap activity regulates apical adhesion and proliferation of neural progenitors lining the lateral ventricular surface, to maintain the smooth, non-folded mouse brain and to prevent developmental hydrocephalus.

    The PCNA unloader Elg1 promotes recombination at collapsed replication forks in fission yeast

    Sanjeeta Tamang, Anastasiya Kishkevich ... Matthew C Whitby
    Unloading the polymerase sliding clamp PCNA from DNA by Elg1 promotes recombination at the RTS1 replication fork barrier by limiting Fbh1 and Srs2 activity.

    The Plasmodium liver-specific protein 2 (LISP2) is an early marker of liver stage development

    Devendra Kumar Gupta, Laurent Dembele ... Thierry Tidiane Diagana
    LISP2 expression marks the beginning of awakening of dormant hypnozoite to developing malaria liver stages, which are susceptible to a novel prophylactic drug, Plasmodium PI4K inhibitor.
