    Real time dynamics of Gating-Related conformational changes in CorA

    Martina Rangl, Nicolaus Schmandt ... Simon Scheuring
    High-speed atomic force microscopy reveals that the open state of the divalent ion channel CorA is highly dynamic and defined by the fast exchange between conformations.

    Distinct roles for S. cerevisiae H2A copies in recombination and repeat stability, with a role for H2A.1 threonine 126

    Nealia CM House, Erica J Polleys ... Catherine H Freudenreich
    Despite differing by only one amino acid in the C-terminal tail, copy 1 of yeast histone 2A has a repair-specific role not shared by copy 2.

    Local axonal morphology guides the topography of interneuron myelination in mouse and human neocortex

    Jeffrey Stedehouder, Demi Brizee ... Steven A Kushner
    The joint combination of interbranch distance and local caliber is sufficient to predict with high accuracy the distribution of myelin internodes along individual axons of neocortical GABAergic interneurons.

    Tight nuclear tethering of cGAS is essential for preventing autoreactivity

    Hannah E Volkman, Stephanie Cambier ... Daniel B Stetson
    Tight nuclear tethering of the cGAS DNA sensor maintains it in its resting state and prevents activation by self-DNA.

    Site-specific phosphorylation and caspase cleavage of GFAP are new markers of Alexander disease severity

    Rachel A Battaglia, Adriana S Beltran ... Natasha T Snider
    GFAP protein carries a distinct post-translational modification signature that facilitates its pathogenic accumulation and aggregation in astrocytes of patients who succumb to Alexander Disease very early in life.

    Deep sampling of Hawaiian Caenorhabditis elegans reveals high genetic diversity and admixture with global populations

    Tim A Crombie, Stefan Zdraljevic ... Erik C Andersen
    Hawaiian Caenorhabditis elegans harbor high levels of genetic diversity that might represent the complex patterns of ancestral diversity in the species prior to human influence.

    Molecular determinants of the Ska-Ndc80 interaction and their influence on microtubule tracking and force-coupling

    Pim J Huis in 't Veld, Vladimir A Volkov ... Marileen Dogterom
    Binding of two macromolecular complexes allows kinetochores to capture force produced by the depolymerising ends of microtubules, allowing chromosomes to be transmitted from a mother cell to its two daughters.

    VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling regulates hippocampal axon branching during development

    Robert Luck, Severino Urban ... Carmen Ruiz de Almodóvar
    Hippocampal axon branching, required for the formation of functional neuronal networks, is regulated by VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling during development.

    EphrinB2 regulates VEGFR2 during dendritogenesis and hippocampal circuitry development

    Eva Harde, LaShae Nicholson ... Amparo Acker-Palmer
    The internalization of the angiogenic receptor VEGFR2 expressed in neurons is controlled by ephrinB2 and is required for neuronal dendritic arborization, spine morphogenesis and circuitry development in the hippocampus.

    Sensing of nutrients by CPT1C regulates late endosome/lysosome anterograde transport and axon growth

    Marta Palomo-Guerrero, Rut Fadó ... Núria Casals
    The pseudoenzyme CPT1C is able to sense changes in intracellular malonyl-CoA levels caused by nutrients or energy stress and regulate late endosomes/lysosomes anterograde transport, necessary for proper axon growth.
