    A lipoprotein partner for the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein TolC

    Jim Horne, Elise Kaplan ... Ben F Luisi
    Structural and biochemical analyses identify a bacterial lipoprotein that associates with the outer membrane component of tripartite multi-drug efflux pumps, and its potential functional roles are explored by complementary bioinformatics, proteomcid and genetic approaches.

    Fear conditioning biases olfactory sensory neuron frequencies across generations

    Clara W Liff, Yasmine R Ayman ... Bianca J Marlin
    Olfactory fear conditioning biases olfactory stem cell receptor fate, increasing the frequency by which maturing neurons express the receptor of the paired odor and changing the representation of the olfactory sensory neuron landscape in the next generation.

    Revealing global stoichiometry conservation architecture in cells from Raman spectral patterns

    Ken-ichiro F Kamei, Koseki J Kobayashi-Kirschvink ... Yuichi Wakamoto
    Conservation levels of gene expression abundance ratios are globally coordinated in cells, and cellular state changes under such biologically relevant stoichiometric constraints are readable as low-dimensional changes in Raman spectra.

    Enhanced bacterial chemotaxis in confined microchannels occurs at lane widths matching circular swimming radius

    Caijuan Yue, Chi Zhang ... Junhua Yuan
    Geometric confinement paradoxically enhances bacterial chemotaxis through chiral surface swimming and sidewall alignment, with optimal performance when lane width matches the circular swimming radius.

    Synaptotagmin 1 and Synaptotagmin 7 promote MR1-mediated presentation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens

    Se-Jin Kim, Jessie C Peterson ... David Lewinsohn
    Synaptotagmin 1 and Synaptotagmin 7 promote MAIT cell activation during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection by facilitating MR1 trafficking and antigen presentation.

    Active regulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor by the membrane bilayer

    Shwetha Srinivasan, Xingcheng Lin ... Gabriela S Schlau-Cohen
    Membrane composition modulates EGFR conformational dynamics and signaling, revealing that the bilayer properties can override ligand control to influence receptor activation in health and disease.

    Kinesin-1 conformational dynamics are controlled by a cargo-sensitive TPR switch

    Shivam Shukla, Jessica A Cross ... Mark P Dodding
    Cargo-adaptor binding to the KLC-TPR domains binding triggers structural rearrangements that relieve kinesin-1 autoinhibition, enabling MAP7 recruitment, through an allosteric mechanism that connects cargo recognition to motor activation.

    Individuality across environmental context in Drosophila melanogaster

    Thomas F Mathejczyk, Cara Knief ... Gerit A Linneweber
    Environmental differences alter behavioral performance in Drosophila melanogaster without eliminating consistent individual differences.

    Audiovisual cues must be predictable and win-paired to drive risky choice

    Brett A Hathaway, Dexter R Kim ... Catharine Winstanley
    Sensory cues increase risky choice when paired with wins but reduce risky choice when paired with losses, with parallel shifts in sensitivity to negative outcomes.

    GTPase-activating protein DLC1 spatio-temporally regulates Rho signaling

    Lucien Hinderling, Max Heydasch ... Olivier Pertz
    Mechanosensitive recruitment of DLC1 to focal adhesions creates a positive feedback loop that locally amplifies Rho activation in response to tension.
