    On the emergence of P-Loop NTPase and Rossmann enzymes from a Beta-Alpha-Beta ancestral fragment

    Liam M Longo, Jagoda Jabłońska ... Dan S Tawfik
    Analysisof P-loop NTPases and Rossmans, the most ancient and diverse enzyme lineages, suggests their divergence from one ancestral polypeptide.

    Demographic history mediates the effect of stratification on polygenic scores

    Arslan A Zaidi, Iain Mathieson
    Correction for stratification in genome-wide association studies should be informed by the demographic history of the sample.

    An AMPK-dependent, non-canonical p53 pathway plays a key role in adipocyte metabolic reprogramming

    Hong Wang, Xueping Wan ... Libin Liu
    A non-canonical p53 function in adipocyte plays a critical role in energy homeostasis and is involved in obesity-associated metabolic dysfunctions.

    Neural mechanisms underlying expectation-dependent inhibition of distracting information

    Dirk van Moorselaar, Eline Lampers ... Heleen A Slagter
    Learned expectations allow for a distinct anticipatory distractor representation at the feature but not at the spatial level.

    TFEB/Mitf links impaired nuclear import to autophagolysosomal dysfunction in C9-ALS

    Kathleen M Cunningham, Kirstin Maulding ... Thomas E Lloyd
    Impaired nuclear import of the transcription factor TFEB/MITF is a major cause of autophagy and lysosome dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis caused by mutations in the C9orf72 gene.

    A Drosophila screen identifies NKCC1 as a modifier of NGLY1 deficiency

    Dana M Talsness, Katie G Owings ... Clement Y Chow
    An ion transporter is hyperglycosylated and 50% less functional in NGLY1-deficient cells, potentially explaining several symptoms of NGLY1 deficiency such as lack of sweat and tears.

    Neurovascular coupling and bilateral connectivity during NREM and REM sleep

    Kevin L Turner, Kyle W Gheres ... Patrick J Drew
    Sleep-related hemodynamic signals are much larger than those in the awake brain, so it is crucial to monitor the arousal state during studies of spontaneous activity.

    Specific Neuroligin3–αNeurexin1 signaling regulates GABAergic synaptic function in mouse hippocampus

    Motokazu Uchigashima, Kohtarou Konno ... Kensuke Futai
    Trans-synaptic protein interactions are required for synapse specification and function, and the combination between neuroligin3 and αneurexin1 controls inhibitory synaptic function in a splice isoform- and interneuron-specific manner.

    Cellular birthdate predicts laminar and regional cholinergic projection topography in the forebrain

    Kathryn C Allaway, William Muñoz ... Gordon Fishell
    Cholinergic populations with distinct cellular birthdates innervate deep versus superficial layers of the cortex with exquisite specificity.
