    Modularity of the segmentation clock and morphogenesis

    James E Hammond, Ruth E Baker, Berta Verd
    Computational modelling suggests that the segmentation clock and the morphogenesis of the pre-somitic mesoderm exhibit developmental modularity, enabling the independent evolution of these processes and possibly contributing to the high evolvability of vertebrate segment number.

    UBR-1 deficiency leads to ivermectin resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Yi Li, Long Gong ... Shangbang Gao
    Behavioral and functional analyses revealed that UBR-1 deficiency in Caenorhabditis elegans disrupts glutamate signaling and confers ivermectin resistance.

    Infralimbic parvalbumin neural activity facilitates cued threat avoidance

    Yi-Yun Ho, Qiuwei Yang ... Melissa R Warden
    Infralimbic inhibitory parvalbumin neurons play a counterintuitive role in supporting flexible behavior in the face of threat.

    Structure of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase from the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

    Théo Le Moigne, Martina Santoni ... Julien Henri
    Crystallography, molecular dynamics simulations, and biochemical analyses of Calvin-Benson-Bassham sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) from the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii identify a redox module that controls oligomeric states for the activation of the enzyme.

    Peripheral opioid receptor antagonism alleviates fentanyl-induced cardiorespiratory depression and is devoid of aversive behavior

    Brian C Ruyle, Sarah Masud ... Jose A Morón
    The peripherally restricted opioid receptor antagonist naloxone methiodide reverses fentanyl-induced respiratory depression without causing aversive behaviors that are observed after naloxone.

    No evidence for a trade-off between reproduction and survival in a meta-analysis across birds

    Lucy A Winder, Mirre JP Simons, Terry Burke
    Meta-analysis reveals there is no evidence that variation in clutch size in birds is driven by the reproduction–survival trade-off.

    2-oxoglutarate triggers assembly of active dodecameric Methanosarcina mazei glutamine synthetase

    Eva Herdering, Tristan Reif-Trauttmansdorff ... Ruth Anne Schmitz
    The central nitrogen-metabolite 2-oxoglutarate directly promotes glutamine synthetase activity by inducing its dodecameric assembly and priming the active sites, representing a novel mechanism of regulation.

    Architecture of genome-wide transcriptional regulatory network reveals dynamic functions and evolutionary trajectories in Pseudomonas syringae

    Yue Sun, Jingwei Li ... Xin Deng
    The genome-wide transcriptional regulatory network in Pseudomonas syringae demonstrates the regulatory diversity and functional pathways.

    Evolutionary rescue of spherical mreB deletion mutants of the rod-shape bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25

    Paul Richard J Yulo, Nicolas Desprat ... Heather L Hendrickson
    Fitness defects arising from deletion of the gene encoding the bacterial equivalent of actin (mreB) are readily compensated by mutations affecting cell wall synthesis.

    Soluble immune mediators orchestrate protective in vitro granulomatous responses across Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex lineages

    Ainhoa Arbués, Sarah Schmidiger ... Damien Portevin
    Genetically diverse Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains induce a gamut of human granulomatous responses in vitro, with a role for IL-1β in aggregate formation.
