    Predicting bacterial promoter function and evolution from random sequences

    Mato Lagator, Srdjan Sarikas ... Gašper Tkačik
    An inferred mechanistic model that connects sequence (genotype) to function (constitutive gene expression phenotype) for any random sequence in Escherichia coli reveals the structure of constitutive promoters and how they evolve.

    The evolution of division of labour in structured and unstructured groups

    Guy Alexander Cooper, Hadleigh Frost ... Stuart Andrew West
    The evolution of division of labour with non-accelerating returns from specialisation can occur for several reasons, including but not limited to topologically constrained group structures, but there must always be a group efficiency benefit and a coordination mechanism is required.

    Therapeutic downregulation of neuronal PAS domain 2 (Npas2) promotes surgical skin wound healing

    Yoichiro Shibuya, Akishige Hokugo ... Reza Jarrahy
    A small molecule compound Dwn1, identified through high-throughput screening using Npas2 as the molecular target, enhances wound healing in a murine incisional wound model.

    Development, validation, and application of a machine learning model to estimate salt consumption in 54 countries

    Wilmer Cristobal Guzman-Vilca, Manuel Castillo-Cara, Rodrigo M Carrillo-Larco
    A machine learning model could accurately estimate daily salt consumption in the general population and can be applied to countries lacking urine sample to compute the mean salt consumption at the population level.

    Regulation of immune receptor kinase plasma membrane nanoscale organization by a plant peptide hormone and its receptors

    Julien Gronnier, Christina M Franck ... Cyril Zipfel
    The perception of endogenous RALF signaling peptides modulates the plasma membrane nanoscale organization of receptor kinases to regulate plant immune signaling.

    The YTHDF proteins ECT2 and ECT3 bind largely overlapping target sets and influence target mRNA abundance, not alternative polyadenylation

    Laura Arribas-Hernández, Sarah Rennie ... Peter Brodersen
    The Arabidopsis N6-methyladenosine (m6A) binding proteins ECT2 and ECT3 act redundantly in the cytoplasm to regulate m6A-containing mRNAs whose abundances are reduced in ect2/ect3/ect4 knockout plants although the locations of their polyadenylation sites remain unaffected, contrary to currently held beliefs.

    Principles of mRNA targeting via the Arabidopsis m6A-binding protein ECT2

    Laura Arribas-Hernández, Sarah Rennie ... Peter Brodersen
    The Arabidopsis N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-binding protein ECT2 binds to m6A in the canonical RR[m6A]CH motif, not a plant-specific motif as previously thought, and its intrinsically disordered region contributes to mRNA binding via contacts with U-rich motifs.

    A qnr-plasmid allows aminoglycosides to induce SOS in Escherichia coli

    Anamaria Babosan, David Skurnik ... Thomas Guillard
    A mechanism whereby aminoglycosides-mediated SOS induction in Escherichia coli also promote high-level fluoroquinolone resistance.

    Synaptic targets of photoreceptors specialized to detect color and skylight polarization in Drosophila

    Emil Kind, Kit D Longden ... Mathias F Wernet
    The fly connectome reveals dedicated cell types for processing specific kinds of visual information such as color or skylight polarization.

    Overexpression screen of interferon-stimulated genes identifies RARRES3 as a restrictor of Toxoplasma gondii infection

    Nicholas Rinkenberger, Michael E Abrams ... L David Sibley
    Overexpression of interferon-stimulated genes revealed a role for RARRES3 in restricting growth of Toxoplasma gondii by inducing early egress from human cells.
