    The Nesprin-1/-2 ortholog ANC-1 regulates organelle positioning in C. elegans independently from its KASH or actin-binding domains

    Hongyan Hao, Shilpi Kalra ... Daniel A Starr
    The giant KASH protein ANC-1 maintains the integrity of the cytoplasm to anchor nuclei, ER, and other organelles within the cell.

    Heterogeneity in transmissibility and shedding SARS-CoV-2 via droplets and aerosols

    Paul Z Chen, Niklas Bobrovitz ... Frank X Gu
    Broader case variation in respiratory viral load, and in shedding virus via droplets and aerosols, for SARS-CoV-2 than influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 facilitates greater transmission heterogeneity in the COVID-19 pandemic than the 2009 flu pandemic.

    SAM homeostasis is regulated by CFIm-mediated splicing of MAT2A

    Anna M Scarborough, Juliana N Flaherty ... Nicholas K Conrad
    The 3'-end formation complex CFIm regulates S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) homeostasis by promoting the splicing of the SAM synthetase transcript, MAT2A.

    Co-targeting myelin inhibitors and CSPGs markedly enhances regeneration of GDNF-stimulated, but not conditioning-lesioned, sensory axons into the spinal cord

    Jinbin Zhai, Hyukmin Kim ... Young-Jin Son
    Myelin-associated inhibitors and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans are not the primary mechanism stopping sensory axons regenerating into the spinal cord, although their removal can markedly enhance regeneration when combined with an intervention that elevates axon growth capacity sufficiently robustly.

    Amphiphysin I cleavage by asparagine endopeptidase leads to tau hyperphosphorylation and synaptic dysfunction

    Xingyu Zhang, Li Zou ... Zhentao Zhang
    Amphiphysin I is identified as a new substrate of AEP, and the resultant fragment induces synaptic dysfunction and promotes tau hyperphosphorylation via activating CDK5 kinase.

    Perturbation of amygdala-cortical projections reduces ensemble coherence of palatability coding in gustatory cortex

    Jian-You Lin, Narendra Mukherjee ... Donald B Katz
    Blocking input from basolateral amygdala to gustatory cortex (GC) severely reduces the coherence of GC ensemble activity, which negatively affects epochal dynamics involved in driving palatability-driven consumption.

    Simple biochemical features underlie transcriptional activation domain diversity and dynamic, fuzzy binding to Mediator

    Adrian L Sanborn, Benjamin T Yeh ... Roger D Kornberg
    Transcriptional activation domains achieve rapid, dynamic, specific interaction with Mediator through binding of an unstructured peptide to multiple hydrophobic surfaces without particular amino acid side chain interactions.

    Endogenous p53 expression in human and mouse is not regulated by its 3′UTR

    Sibylle Mitschka, Christine Mayr
    The endogenous 3′UTR does not regulate TP53 mRNA or protein level and the 3′UTR is repressive when used alone in reporters, but addition of the coding region has a dominant repressive effect.

    Metabolic flexibility via mitochondrial BCAA carrier SLC25A44 is required for optimal fever

    Takeshi Yoneshiro, Naoya Kataoka ... Shingo Kajimura
    Genetic and cellular studies in rodents found branched-chain amino acids are critical nutrients that are transported and oxidized in the mitochondria through their carrier MBC for optimal febrile responses.

    DRAXIN regulates interhemispheric fissure remodelling to influence the extent of corpus callosum formation

    Laura Morcom, Timothy J Edwards ... Linda J Richards
    Incomplete interhemispheric fissure remodelling determines corpus callosum size in humans and BTBR N2 mice that carry a deletion in Draxin.
