    Vglut2-based glutamatergic signaling in central noradrenergic neurons is dispensable for normal breathing and chemosensory reflexes

    Yuan Chang, Savannah Lusk ... Russell S Ray
    Vglut2-based glutamatergic signaling in central noradrenergic neurons is dispensable for baseline breathing and hypercapnic, hypoxic chemosensory reflexes, which challenges the current understanding of central noradrenergic neurons in breathing control.

    Prominin 1 and Tweety Homology 1 both induce extracellular vesicle formation

    Tristan A Bell, Bridget E Luce ... Luke H Chao
    Prominin 1 and Tweety Homology 1, two proteins that regulate membrane shape in neural and neuroepithelial cells, have shared evolutionary history and both cause cells to secrete extracellular vesicles.

    PPI-hotspotID for detecting protein–protein interaction hot spots from the free protein structure

    Yao Chi Chen, Karen Sargsyan ... Carmay Lim
    PPI-hotspotID, trained using an automated machine-learning framework, AutoGluon, on the largest PPI-hot spot dataset to date, detects hot spots beyond protein–protein interfaces, uncovering druggable interactions to aid design of PPI-modulating therapeutics.

    Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in Sertoli cells regulates age-dependent changes in sperm DNA methylation

    Saira Amir, Olatunbosun Arowolo ... Alexander Suvorov
    For the first time, a molecular mechanism is identified, for experimental acceleration and deceleration (rejuvenation) of sperm epigenetic aging.

    Cryo-EM structure of the CBC-ALYREF complex

    Bradley P Clarke, Alexia E Angelos ... Yi Ren
    Structural studies reveal the mechanism by which the mRNA nuclear export machinery engages with nascent transcripts through interaction with the cap binding complex.

    TMC7 deficiency causes acrosome biogenesis defects and male infertility in mice

    Jing Wang, Yingying Yin ... Zhaojian Liu
    Experiments on mice show that TMC7, a transmembrane channel-like protein, localizes to the cis-Golgi region in spermatids and that this is essential for acrosome biogenesis and male fertility.

    Conserved regulatory motifs in the juxtamembrane domain and kinase N-lobe revealed through deep mutational scanning of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase domain

    Gabriella O Estevam, Edmond M Linossi ... James S Fraser
    Deep mutational scanning reveals interactions in the MET kinase domain that are critical for regulation and cancer-related signaling.

    Vangl2 suppresses NF-κB signaling and ameliorates sepsis by targeting p65 for NDP52-mediated autophagic degradation

    Jiansen Lu, Jiahuan Zhang ... Xiao Yu
    Vangl2 induced by inflammation recruits ubiquitin ligase PDLIM2 and increases K63-linked ubiquitination on p65, which promotes the recognition of p65 by cargo receptor NDP52 and the autophagic degradation of p65.

    Language experience shapes predictive coding of rhythmic sound sequences

    Piermatteo Morucci, Sanjeev Nara ... Nicola Molinaro
    A magnetoencephalography study across different languages shows that life-long listening experience influences the neural mechanisms underlying rhythm perception.

    Lymphoid origin of intrinsically activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells in mice

    Alessandra Machado Araujo, Joseph D Dekker ... Haley O Tucker
    Single-cell RNA-seq data and transgenic models revealed B-plasmacytoid dendritic cells (B-pDCs) represent a phenotypically and functionally distinct common lymphoid progenitor-derived pDC lineage specialized in T cell activation and previously not described in mice.
