    A phase transition enhances the catalytic activity of SARM1, an NAD+ glycohydrolase involved in neurodegeneration

    Heather S Loring, Victoria L Czech ... Paul R Thompson
    The catalytic activity of SARM1, a key promoter of neuronal degeneration, is activated by >2000-fold by a phase transition.

    A Cas-BCAR3 co-regulatory circuit controls lamellipodia dynamics

    Elizabeth M Steenkiste, Jason D Berndt ... Jonathan A Cooper
    Epithelial cells coordinate integrin signaling with protrusion via a two-protein module, with one protein defining localization and downstream signaling, the other serving as a phosphorylation switch and providing negative feedback.

    The pattern of nodal morphogen signaling is shaped by co-receptor expression

    Nathan D Lord, Adam N Carte ... Alexander F Schier
    Ligand capture by cell surface receptor complexes sets the shape of the Nodal signaling pattern in zebrafish.

    Structure and mechanistic features of the prokaryotic minimal RNase P

    Rebecca Feyh, Nadine B Waeber ... Florian Altegoer
    The novel cryo-electron microscopy structure of a bacterial protein-only RNase P illustrates how a small protein oligomerizes into a dodecameric assembly to catalyze the 5’-end maturation of tRNAs.

    Genomic basis for drought resistance in European beech forests threatened by climate change

    Markus Pfenninger, Friederike Reuss ... Barbara Feldmeyer
    European beech harbours substantial genetic variation at genomic loci associated with drought resistance and newly identified loci can help to accelerate and monitor adaptation to climate change.

    Loss of MGA repression mediated by an atypical polycomb complex promotes tumor progression and invasiveness

    Haritha Mathsyaraja, Jonathen Catchpole ... Robert N Eisenman
    The MYC transcription factor network member MGA is a subunit of a non-canonical Polycomb complex, which, when inactivated, accelerates tumorigenesis in mouse models of cancer and proliferation in colon organoids.

    Organelle calcium-derived voltage oscillations in pacemaker neurons drive the motor program for food-seeking behavior in Aplysia

    Alexis Bédécarrats, Laura Puygrenier ... Romuald Nargeot
    An atypical neuronal pacemaker mechanism triggers feeding motor pattern in Aplysia..

    Evaluating distributional regression strategies for modelling self-reported sexual age-mixing

    Timothy M Wolock, Seth Flaxman ... Jeffrey W Eaton
    Integrating the sinh-arcsinh distribution into a distributional regression framework allows us to produce precise, local estimates of sexual age-mixing, facilitating more accurate modelling of sexually transmitted disease dynamics.

    Impact of COVID-19-related disruptions to measles, meningococcal A, and yellow fever vaccination in 10 countries

    Katy AM Gaythorpe, Kaja Abbas ... Mark Jit
    Routine and campaign vaccination disruption in 2020 may lead to measles outbreaks and yellow fever burden increases in some countries, but is unlikely to greatly increase meningococcal A burden.
