    Structures of PKA–phospholamban complexes reveal a mechanism of familial dilated cardiomyopathy

    Juan Qin, Jingfeng Zhang ... Zhiguang Yuchi
    Structures of PKA in complex with wild type and mutant phospholamban show a mechanism underlying familial dilated cardiomyopathy.

    Dedicated chaperones coordinate co-translational regulation of ribosomal protein production with ribosome assembly to preserve proteostasis

    Benjamin Pillet, Alfonso Méndez-Godoy ... Dieter Kressler
    A novel co-translational mechanism continuously adjusts the expression levels of ribosomal proteins Rpl3 and Rpl4 to their consumption during ribosome synthesis by regulating the abundance of their mRNAs.

    Potential role of KRAB-ZFP binding and transcriptional states on DNA methylation of retroelements in human male germ cells

    Kei Fukuda, Yoshinori Makino ... Yoichi Shinkai
    Bioinformatics analyses reveal that the Krüppel-associated box domain zinc finger proteins are associated with DNA methylation of retroelements in human primordial germ cells which highlight potential molecular mechanisms for the regulation of retroelements in human male germ cells.

    First-order visual interneurons distribute distinct contrast and luminance information across ON and OFF pathways to achieve stable behavior

    Madhura D Ketkar, Burak Gür ... Marion Silies
    First-order interneurons in the Drosophila visual system are not ON or OFF pathway-specific inputs, but serve as distinct computational units that distribute different kinds of luminance and contrast information across pathways to achieve stable behavioral responses to visual stimuli.

    Suppression weakens unwanted memories via a sustained reduction of neural reactivation

    Ann-Kristin Meyer, Roland G Benoit
    Intentionally preventing the retrieval of an unwanted memory hinders future attempts to reactivate the memory’s neural representation and causes a reduction in the vividness with which it can be recalled.

    Steroid hormone signaling activates thermal nociception during Drosophila peripheral nervous system development

    Jacob S Jaszczak, Laura DeVault ... Yuh Nung Jan
    Ecdysone-mediated repression of the TMEM16 channel subdued initiates a sensory switch in peripheral nociceptors during Drosophila larval development, increasing thermal nociceptive behavior and reducing responsiveness to ultraviolet light.

    Hyperphosphatemia increases inflammation to exacerbate anemia and skeletal muscle wasting independently of FGF23-FGFR4 signaling

    Brian Czaya, Kylie Heitman ... Christian Faul
    Hyperphosphatemia, by itself and in the context of chronic kidney disease, contributes to iron restrictive anemia by directly targeting the liver and elevating proinflammatory cytokines and hepcidin, which contributes to widespread tissue injury, such as skeletal muscle wasting.

    The inherent flexibility of receptor binding domains in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

    Hisham M Dokainish, Suyong Re ... Yuji Sugita
    Computer simulations explore the experimentally unknown S-protein structures, revealing novel drug binding sites.

    Adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon improves skeletal muscle function in aged mice

    Priya Balasubramanian, Anne E Schaar ... Rozalyn M Anderson
    Activation of adiponectin receptors in young and aged mice induces changes in muscular metabolism via stimulation of AMPK and PGC-1a and ameliorates age-related muscle loss of function.

    Large-scale orientational order in bacterial colonies during inward growth

    Mustafa Basaran, Y Ilker Yaman ... Askin Kocabas
    When crowded bacterial colonies invade a closed area, flow-induced alignment creates strong radial orientation and leads to the formation of aster defects.
