    Reprogramming of bone marrow myeloid progenitor cells in patients with severe coronary artery disease

    Marlies P Noz, Siroon Bekkering ... Niels P Riksen
    In patients with coronary artery disease, bone marrow myeloid progenitor cells are reprogrammed towards myeloid skewing and inflammatory activation.

    The alternative sigma factor σX mediates competence shut-off at the cell pole in Streptococcus pneumoniae

    Calum HG Johnston, Anne-Lise Soulet ... Patrice Polard
    Tracking fluorescent fusion proteins in competent pneumococcal cells reveals a polar hub for competence regulation, with the alternative sigma factor σX relocalizing DprA to this hub to mediate competence shut-off.

    Transcription termination and antitermination of bacterial CRISPR arrays

    Anne M Stringer, Gabriele Baniulyte ... Joseph T Wade
    Many bacteria use the Nus factor antitermination complex to prevent premature Rho-dependent transcription termination of their CRISPR arrays.

    eIF4E S209 phosphorylation licenses myc- and stress-driven oncogenesis

    Hang Ruan, Xiangyun Li ... Jian Yu
    Genetic and transcriptomic analyses revealed that eIF4E S209 phosphorylation enables Myc and mutant KRAS cooperation in colon cancer through stress- and glutamine-dependent growth and addiction.

    Homology-guided identification of a conserved motif linking the antiviral functions of IFITM3 to its oligomeric state

    Kazi Rahman, Charles A Coomer ... Alex A Compton
    A disease-associated polymorphism in a related protein that regulates neurotransmitter release reveals that antiviral protein IFITM3 forms oligomers to rigidify membranes and inhibit virus fusion with cells.

    Smchd1 is a maternal effect gene required for genomic imprinting

    Iromi Wanigasuriya, Quentin Gouil ... Marnie E Blewitt
    Imprinted gene expression is set up during a critical window of early embryonic development, by the translation of parental imprints by oocyte-supplied Smchd1 into allele-specific gene silencing.

    The birth of a bacterial tRNA gene by large-scale, tandem duplication events

    Gökçe B Ayan, Hye Jin Park, Jenna Gallie
    A bacterial tRNA gene set rapidly evolves, compensating the loss of one tRNA type by large duplication events that increase the gene copy number of a second, different tRNA type.

    A novel checkpoint pathway controls actomyosin ring constriction trigger in fission yeast

    Tomás Edreira, Rubén Celador ... Yolanda Sánchez
    In fission yeast cell wall stress triggers a cytokinesis blockage specifically in the onset of actomyosin ring constriction.

    Natural ITD statistics predict human auditory spatial perception

    Rodrigo Pavão, Elyse S Sussman ... José L Peña
    Human brain has incorporated natural statistics of spatial cues to the neural code supporting perception of sound location.

    Inhibiting IRE1α-endonuclease activity decreases tumor burden in a mouse model for hepatocellular carcinoma

    Nataša Pavlović, Carlemi Calitz ... Femke Heindryckx
    Inhibiting IRE1α decreases tumor cell proliferation and migration in hepatocellular carcinoma, therefore components of this ER-stress pathway may be therapeutically relevant for liver cancer.
