    Structural insight into toxin secretion by contact-dependent growth inhibition transporters

    Jeremy Guerin, Istvan Botos ... Susan K Buchanan
    Structures of CdiB outer membrane transporters reveal the channel-gating mechanism for the secretion of large bacterial toxins.

    Telomerase biogenesis requires a novel Mex67 function and a cytoplasmic association with the Sm7 complex

    Yulia Vasianovich, Emmanuel Bajon, Raymund J Wellinger
    A new tool that allows specific subpopulations of telomerase RNAs in vivo forces a thorough revision of the telomerase maturation pathway and suggests a new function for Mex67.

    RUNX1 marks a luminal castration-resistant lineage established at the onset of prostate development

    Renaud Mevel, Ivana Steiner ... Georges Lacaud
    The transcription factor RUNX1 marks a distinct lineage of luminal castration-resistant prostate cells established early during development and enriched in the periurethral region of adult mouse prostate.

    Variation of connectivity across exemplar sensory and associative thalamocortical loops in the mouse

    Arghya Mukherjee, Navdeep Bajwa ... Michael M Halassa
    Compared to a sensory thalamocortical circuit, the mediodorsal thalamus preferentially innervates prefrontal cortical interneurons, and enhancing excitability of this thalamic structure drives prefrontal activity patterns that are dominated by inhibition.

    Gene expression variability in human and chimpanzee populations share common determinants

    Benjamin Jung Fair, Lauren E Blake ... Yoav Gilad
    Similar evolutionary pressures on gene expression between human and chimpanzee populations contribute to the observation that inter-individual gene expression variability is similar across genes in these species.

    Cannabidiol interactions with voltage-gated sodium channels

    Lily Goodyer Sait, Altin Sula ... BA Wallace
    The high resolution crystal structure and electrophysiology of a sodium channel complex with cannabidiol, a drug approved for treatment of severe epilepsies, demonstrate the basis for its structural- functional effects.

    Diffusion vs. direct transport in the precision of morphogen readout

    Sean Fancher, Andrew Mugler
    A theory predicts whether diffusion or direct transport establishes a more precise morphogen profile, and this prediction explains data from a wide variety of morphogens in two different organisms.

    Investigating the trade-off between folding and function in a multidomain Y-family DNA polymerase

    Xiakun Chu, Zucai Suo, Jin Wang
    The physical interaction network encoded in the multi-domain protein native structure handles the trade-off between the fast, stable folding and the efficient, reliable function.

    Functional links between sensory representations, choice activity, and sensorimotor associations in parietal cortex

    Ting-Yu Chang, Raymond Doudlah ... Ari Rosenberg
    The fidelity of 3D visual object representations, choice-related activity, and experience-dependent sensorimotor associations are functionally linked in the caudal intraparietal area.

    Modular metabolite assembly in Caenorhabditis elegans depends on carboxylesterases and formation of lysosome-related organelles

    Henry H Le, Chester JJ Wrobel ... Frank C Schroeder
    Caenorhabditis elegans homologs of carboxylesterases that localize to intestinal organelles orchestrate the assembly of modular signaling molecules from building blocks that integrate diverse metabolic pathways.
