    Importance of glutamine in synaptic vesicles revealed by functional studies of SLC6A17 and its mutations pathogenic for intellectual disability

    Xiaobo Jia, Jiemin Zhu ... Yi Rao
    Physiological studies of SLC6A17 and its pathogenic mutations revealed that glutamine is transported into synaptic vesicles (SVs) in an SLC6A17-dependent manner and all pathogenic conditions reduced glutamine level in SVs.

    Inhibitory IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells are T-bet-dependent and facilitate cytomegalovirus persistence via coexpression of arginase-1

    Mathew Clement, Kristin Ladell ... Ian R Humphreys
    The results presented here indicate that IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells express genes associated with chronically activated TH1-like cells, undergo clonal expansion, and inhibit antiviral T cell responses via the secretion of arginase-1, facilitating viral persistence in mice infected with MCMV.

    Sterol derivative binding to the orthosteric site causes conformational changes in an invertebrate Cys-loop receptor

    Steven De Gieter, Casey I Gallagher ... Rouslan G Efremov
    Cryo-EM structures of Cys-loop receptor Alpo4 from the thermophilic worm Alvinella pompejana show that a sterol derivative CHAPS binds in and outside of its orthosteric binding site and induces a quaternary twist.

    LGG-1/GABARAP lipidation is not required for autophagy and development in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Romane Leboutet, Céline Largeau ... Renaud Legouis
    A genetic approach in Caenorhabditis elegans shows that the cleaved and cytosolic form of the ubiquitin-like protein LGG-1/GABARAP is sufficient for both autophagy and embryonic development.

    Associations of four biological age markers with child development: A multi-omic analysis in the European HELIX cohort

    Oliver Robinson, ChungHo E Lau ... Martine Vrijheid
    Among European children, shorter telomere length and older DNA methylation age relative to chronological age were associated with poorer behaviors, while older age, as predicted by a novel immunometabolic clock relative to chronological age, was associated with greater cognitive maturity.

    Regulation of chromatin microphase separation by binding of protein complexes

    Omar Adame-Arana, Gaurav Bajpai ... Samuel Safran
    Chromatin-binding proteins regulate the effective solvent quality experienced by chromatin and impact global chromatin organization in the nucleus.

    Differential modification of the C-terminal tails of different α-tubulins and their importance for microtubule function in vivo

    Mengjing Bao, Ruth E Dörig ... Beat Suter
    Specific glutamylation of some α-tubulin isotypes affects kinesin-1 localization and transport processes that depend on it, but their absence can speed up transport, possibly explaining why some large cells express α-tubulin isotypes that are not glutamylated.

    Perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening and motivators for at-home human papillomavirus self-sampling during the COVID-19 pandemic: Results from a telephone survey

    Susan Parker, Ashish A Deshmukh ... Jane R Montealegre
    Mailed at-home HPV self-sampling kits present an opportunity to reduce important barriers to cervical cancer screening among women in a safety net healthcare system.

    SNORD90 induces glutamatergic signaling following treatment with monoaminergic antidepressants

    Rixing Lin, Aron Kos ... Gustavo Turecki
    A small non-coding RNA, SNORD90, links monoaminergic directed antidepressant treatment with glutamatergic activation.

    Dopamine signaling regulates predator-driven changes in Caenorhabditis elegans’ egg laying behavior

    Amy Pribadi, Michael A Rieger ... Sreekanth H Chalasani
    Caenorhabditis elegans responds to predator threat by using dopamine signaling to alter the distribution of their eggs.
