    The molecular coupling between substrate recognition and ATP turnover in a AAA+ hexameric helicase loader

    Neha Puri, Amy J Fernandez ... James M Berger
    Structure-guided biochemistry defines how the coupling between nucleic acid substrate binding and ATPase activity is used by a molecular switch to load ring-shaped motor proteins onto single-stranded DNA.

    An evolutionary model identifies the main evolutionary biases for the evolution of genome-replication profiles

    Rossana Droghetti, Nicolas Agier ... Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino
    Mathematical modeling and data analysis show that, over evolutionary times, the yeast temporal program of replication strives to avoid stalling events and minimize interference between neighbor origins.

    Protective function and durability of mouse lymph node-resident memory CD8+ T cells

    Scott M Anthony, Natalija Van Braeckel-Budimir ... John T Harty
    Repeated antigen encounters alter the transcriptional state and function of lymph node-resident memory CD8+ T cells to mediate improved immunity against viral infection.

    Spatially displaced excitation contributes to the encoding of interrupted motion by a retinal direction-selective circuit

    Jennifer Ding, Albert Chen ... Wei Wei
    The direction-selective circuit in the retina adjusts the contributions of excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms under different stimulus conditions to generate context-dependent neural representations of visual features.

    Plexin-B2 controls the timing of differentiation and the motility of cerebellar granule neurons

    Eljo Van Battum, Celine Heitz-Marchaland ... Alain Chédotal
    3D imaging and time-lapse video-microscopy show that the PlexinB2 receptor controls the tempo of granule cell differentiation and sets the pace of their migration in mouse cerebellum.
    1. Neuroscience

    Attenuated dopamine signaling after aversive learning is restored by ketamine to rescue escape actions

    Mingzheng Wu, Samuel Minkowicz ... Yevgenia Kozorovitskiy
    Interconnected ventral tegmental area and medial prefrontal cortex circuits causally link dopamine dynamics, aversive learning, and the effects of a promising rapidly acting antidepressant ketamine.

    Understanding the evolution of multiple drug resistance in structured populations

    David V McLeod, Sylvain Gandon
    The evolution of multidrug resistance can be most easily understood by focusing upon the dynamical equations of linkage disequilibrium.
    1. Cell Biology

    Conformational specificity of opioid receptors is determined by subcellular location irrespective of agonist

    Stephanie E Crilly, Wooree Ko ... Manojkumar A Puthenveedu
    A GPCR activated by the same agonist engages different conformational biosensors at different subcellular locations, suggesting that location-based conformations drive spatial encoding of signaling.

    Kv1.1 channels regulate early postnatal neurogenesis in mouse hippocampus via the TrkB signaling pathway

    Shu-Min Chou, Ke-Xin Li ... Shi-Bing Yang
    Kv1.1 potassium channels regulate postnatal neurogenesis in the hippocampus via increasing the membrane excitability that activates the TrkB signaling pathway in a cell-autonomous manner.

    The effect of host community functional traits on plant disease risk varies along an elevational gradient

    Fletcher W Halliday, Mikko Jalo, Anna-Liisa Laine
    Environmental gradients can modify a fundamental relationship between host community structure and disease, with implications for predicting disease risk in a changing world.
