    Structural and mechanistic basis of the EMC-dependent biogenesis of distinct transmembrane clients

    Lakshmi E Miller-Vedam, Bastian Bräuning ... Jonathan S Weissman
    Structure-function characterization of the EMC's cytoplasmic, transmembrane, and lumenal domains reveal features critical for terminal helix insertion and a specialized role for the lumenal domain in polytopic membrane protein biogenesis.

    Constitutive activation of cellular immunity underlies the evolution of resistance to infection in Drosophila

    Alexandre B Leitão, Ramesh Arunkumar ... Francis M Jiggins
    Single-cell transcriptomics of immune cells demonstrates that populations evolve inducible defences when infection rates are low and constitutive defences when infection is common.

    Mechanistic insights into volatile anesthetic modulation of K2P channels

    Aboubacar Wague, Thomas T Joseph ... Paul M Riegelhaupt
    The volatile anesthetic isoflurane directly binds to the transmembrane domains of the TREK1 channel to allosterically modulate its function.

    Manipulation of the human tRNA pool reveals distinct tRNA sets that act in cellular proliferation or cell cycle arrest

    Noa Aharon-Hefetz, Idan Frumkin ... Roni Rak
    Systematic CRISPR-based editing of tRNA genes revealed that different human cells that span a range of growth rates and different modes of proliferation states require diverse tRNA sets.

    A structure of substrate-bound Synaptojanin1 provides new insights in its mechanism and the effect of disease mutations

    Jone Paesmans, Ella Martin ... Wim Versées
    Structural and biochemical data suggest a mechanism for the Synaptojanin1-catalysed reaction and the role of mutations in the onset of associated neurological diseases.

    Graded titin cleavage progressively reduces tension and uncovers the source of A-band stability in contracting muscle

    Yong Li, Anthony L Hessel ... Wolfgang A Linke
    Elastic forces generated by the giant protein titin define both passive and active tension of skeletal muscle fibers and protect the sarcomeric myosin filaments from severe disruption during contraction.

    Canonical goal-selective representations are absent from prefrontal cortex in a spatial working memory task requiring behavioral flexibility

    Claudia Böhm, Albert K Lee
    Representation of goals in the forms previously reported in the PFC is not required for performance of a novel spatial working memory task where goal information must be used flexibly.

    Yeast Nuak1 phosphorylates histone H3 threonine 11 in low glucose stress by the cooperation of AMPK and CK2 signaling

    Seunghee Oh, Jaehyoun Lee ... Jerry L Workman
    Yeast Nuak1 is an AMPK and CK2 dependent H3 T11 kinase.

    A unique chromatin profile defines adaptive genomic regions in a fungal plant pathogen

    David E Cook, H Martin Kramer ... Bart P H J Thomma
    Assessment of DNA methylation, histone modifications, and DNA accessibility revealed that physical DNA characteristics are associated with adaptive genome evolution in the broad host range plant pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae.

    Dynamics of diffusive cell signaling relays

    Paul B Dieterle, Jiseon Min ... Ariel Amir
    The collective dynamics of cell signaling relays are at once dramatically sensitive to the system dimensionality and insensitive to many biological details.
