    PomX, a ParA/MinD ATPase activating protein, is a triple regulator of cell division in Myxococcus xanthus

    Dominik Schumacher, Andrea Harms ... Lotte Søgaard-Andersen
    In the PomX/Y/Z cell division regulatory system, PomX is a PomZ ATPase activating protein, a scaffold for PomX/Y/Z complex formation, and important for fission of the PomX/Y/Z complex during division.

    Archaeal chromatin ‘slinkies’ are inherently dynamic complexes with deflected DNA wrapping pathways

    Samuel Bowerman, Jeff Wereszczynski, Karolin Luger
    Archaeal histones compact DNA into nucleosome-like particles of varying sizes that contort sporadically and reorient DNA wrapping.

    eIF2B conformation and assembly state regulate the integrated stress response

    Michael Schoof, Morgane Boone ... Peter Walter
    eIF2-P activates the integrated stress response by inducing a conformational change in eIF2B that decreases substrate (eIF2) binding and reduces eIF2B's catalytic activity.

    Performance in even a simple perceptual task depends on mouse secondary visual areas

    Hannah C Goldbach, Bradley Akitake ... Mark H Histed
    In a simple visual task, that in principle could be performed using information in V1 alone, perturbations of secondary visual areas impair perception.

    Early postnatal interactions between beige adipocytes and sympathetic neurites regulate innervation of subcutaneous fat

    Jingyi Chi, Zeran Lin ... Paul Cohen
    The regulation of sympathetic innervation density by beige adipocytes in subcutaneous fat is important during a critical developmental window, but dispensable during adulthood.

    Stochastic logistic models reproduce experimental time series of microbial communities

    Lana Descheemaeker, Sophie de Buyl
    Properties of various microbial communities time series, such as the noise color and neutrality, are captured by stochastic generalized Lotka-Volterra equations, even in the absence of interactions.

    Neural basis of corruption in power-holders

    Yang Hu, Chen Hu ... Jean-Claude Dreher
    Model-based fMRI reveals the neurocomputational bases of accepting a bribe when power-holders consider two moral costs, conniving with a fraudulent briber and the harm brought to a third party.

    SABRE populates ER domains essential for cell plate maturation and cell expansion influencing cell and tissue patterning

    Xiaohang Cheng, Magdalena Bezanilla
    SABRE, which is present in a wide range of eukaryotes, localizes to ER subdomains in plants, impacting cell expansion and callose deposition during cell plate maturation.

    Dynamic interactions between the RNA chaperone Hfq, small regulatory RNAs, and mRNAs in live bacterial cells

    Seongjin Park, Karine Prévost ... Jingyi Fei
    RNA chaperone Hfq dynamically binds various pools of cellular RNAs to execute different regulatory functions.

    Synchronous activity patterns in the dentate gyrus during immobility

    Martin Pofahl, Negar Nikbakht ... Heinz Beck
    Two-photon in vivo calcium imaging reveals short time-scale, synchronous and sparse population activity in dentate gyrus that replays place-related information, and is important for formation of dentate-dependent spatial memory.
