    Ribosome profiling of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus reveals novel features of viral gene expression

    Georgia M Cook, Katherine Brown ... Ian Brierley
    Combining ribosome profiling and RNA sequencing illuminates novel features of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus gene expression, including the regulation of polyprotein stoichiometry through temporal modulation of ribosomal frameshifting and the synthesis of non-canonical transcripts.

    A neural network model of when to retrieve and encode episodic memories

    Qihong Lu, Uri Hasson, Kenneth A Norman
    A neural network showed better prediction of upcoming states when it was selective in when it encoded and retrieved episodic memories, thereby explaining why humans show this selectivity in studies of naturalistic memory.

    Crystal structures of bacterial small multidrug resistance transporter EmrE in complex with structurally diverse substrates

    Ali A Kermani, Olive E Burata ... Randy B Stockbridge
    In the bacterial small multidrug transporter EmrE, sidechain rearrangements in the binding site accommodate structurally diverse substrates without major rearrangements of the protein backbone.

    Sticks and Stones, a conserved cell surface ligand for the Type IIa RPTP Lar, regulates neural circuit wiring in Drosophila

    Namrata Bali, Hyung-Kook (Peter) Lee, Kai Zinn
    The immunoglobulin superfamily cell surface protein Sticks and Stones is a binding partner for the Lar Drosophila receptor tyrosine phosphatase that mediates Lar's developmental functions at the larval neuromuscular junction, mushroom body, and adult optic lobe.

    Modular, robust, and extendible multicellular circuit design in yeast

    Alberto Carignano, Dai Hua Chen ... Eric Klavins
    Multicellular systems exhibiting a wide variety of behaviors, including logic gates, band-pass filtering, and bistability, are constructed from a fixed vocabulary of input-output strains through model-guided design demonstrating predictable composability, tunability, and extendability.

    Glutathione binding to the plant AtAtm3 transporter and implications for the conformational coupling of ABC transporters

    Chengcheng Fan, Douglas C Rees
    Multiple cryo-electron microscopy structures of a plant ABC transporter exporting glutathione derivatives captured a closed conformation proposed to enforce the export directionality, while a complex central to the coupling mechanism containing both glutathione and closed nucleotide binding domains remains elusive.

    Evolution of binding preferences among whole-genome duplicated transcription factors

    Tamar Gera, Felix Jonas ... Naama Barkai
    The fate of duplicated transcription factors within budding yeast is described, providing insights into the mechanisms that shape transcriptional networks during evolution.
