    Structure of the mitoribosomal small subunit with streptomycin reveals Fe-S clusters and physiological molecules

    Yuzuru Itoh, Vivek Singh ... Alexey Amunts
    Structural analysis of the mitoribosomal small subunit with streptomycin reveals the molecular basis for antibiotic binding and new physiological components such as FeS clusters that assemble between mitochondria specific proteins.

    Nucleotide-level linkage of transcriptional elongation and polyadenylation

    Joseph V Geisberg, Zarmik Moqtaderi ... Kevin Struhl
    Cleavage/polyadenylation, the process generating mRNA 3' ends, is linked at the nucleotide level to the position of RNA polymerase II, indicating a spatial coupling so polyadenylation occurs rapidly upon emergence of the nascent RNA from the Pol II elongation complex.

    Autoantibody discovery across monogenic, acquired, and COVID-19-associated autoimmunity with scalable PhIP-seq

    Sara E Vazquez, Sabrina A Mann ... Joseph L DeRisi
    A high-throughput extension of PhIP-seq reveals novel antigen specificities leading to new insights across multiple human autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, enables application of machine learning approaches to PhIP-seq datasets, and highlights the importance of controlled PhIP-seq cohorts.

    Sugar sensation and mechanosensation in the egg-laying preference shift of Drosophila suzukii

    Wanyue Wang, Hany KM Dweck ... John R Carlson
    Drosophila suzukii, which lays eggs on ripe fruits, differs from Drosophila melanogaster in sweet sensation, mechanosensation, and their integration.

    Transversal functional connectivity and scene-specific processing in the human entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry

    Xenia Grande, Magdalena M Sauvage ... David Berron
    The human entorhinal-hippocampal circuitry is characterized by an information-specific functional organization where two routes, that are preferentially connected to the parahippocampal cortex or the perirhinal and retrosplenial cortices, divide the entorhinal cortex as well as hippocampal subiculum and CA1 subregions.

    A phenotype-based forward genetic screen identifies Dnajb6 as a sick sinus syndrome gene

    Yonghe Ding, Di Lang ... Xiaolei Xu
    Dnajb6 is identified as a novel sick sinus syndrome causative gene that exhibits a unique expression pattern within a subpopulation of sinus node pacemaker cells.

    Modeling and mechanical perturbations reveal how spatially regulated anchorage gives rise to spatially distinct mechanics across the mammalian spindle

    Pooja Suresh, Vahe Galstyan ... Sophie Dumont
    Coarse-grained modeling of mammalian kinetochore-fiber shapes generated under microneedle manipulation reveals the need for lateral anchorage 1-3 μm from the kinetochore to robustly preserve their orientation in the spindle center, promoting mechanical integrity in the dynamic spindle.
