    Regulator of G protein signaling 12 enhances osteoclastogenesis by suppressing Nrf2-dependent antioxidant proteins to promote the generation of reactive oxygen species

    Andrew Ying Hui Ng, Ziqing Li ... Shuying Yang
    Rgs12 protein is a novel regulator of the Nrf2 protein by facilitating the proteasomal degradation of the transcription factor during osteoclast differentiation.

    Distinct mechanisms of microRNA sorting into cancer cell-derived extracellular vesicle subtypes

    Morayma M Temoche-Diaz, Matthew J Shurtleff ... Randy Schekman
    Biochemical fractionation of vesicle sub-populations and in vitro reconstitution studies reveal that Lupus La protein mediates the selective sorting of miR-122 into extracellular vesicles in vitro and in vivo.

    Structural plasticity of dendritic secretory compartments during LTP-induced synaptogenesis

    Yelena D Kulik, Deborah J Watson ... Kristen M Harris
    The secretory and recycling components of neuronal dendrites, smooth endoplasmic reticulum and endosomes, were discovered to support synaptogenesis underlying a cellular mechanism of learning and memory in the developing brain.

    Quantitative mapping of protein-peptide affinity landscapes using spectrally encoded beads

    Huy Quoc Nguyen, Jagoree Roy ... Polly Morrell Fordyce
    A novel high-throughput method for measuring many weak protein-peptide affinities simultaneously reveals how calcineurin, a human phosphatase essential for the immune response, recognizes its peptide substrates.

    Altered gating of Kv1.4 in the nucleus accumbens suppresses motivation for reward

    Bernadette O'Donovan, Adewale Adeluyi ... Pavel I Ortinski
    Low effort-based motivation to pursue naturally rewarding stimuli can be increased pharmacologically, by targeting inactivation of a single voltage-gated potassium channel within the mesolimbic dopamine reward system.

    Golgi localized β1-adrenergic receptors stimulate Golgi PI4P hydrolysis by PLCε to regulate cardiac hypertrophy

    Craig A Nash, Wenhui Wei ... Alan V Smrcka
    β-adrenergic receptors at the Golgi apparatus activate a local signaling pathway, not accessed by cell surface receptors, to drive cardiac hypertrophy and could represent a target for heart failure therapy.

    Suppression of transcytosis regulates zebrafish blood-brain barrier function

    Natasha M O'Brown, Sean G Megason, Chenghua Gu
    The zebrafish has been established as a genetic and molecular model for the blood-brain barrier.

    Astrocyte morphogenesis is dependent on BDNF signaling via astrocytic TrkB.T1

    Leanne M Holt, Raymundo D Hernandez ... Michelle L Olsen
    Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/TrkB.T1 signaling contributes to astrocyte morphological maturation, with implications for neuronal synaptogenesis and function and astrocyte functional maturation.
