    Critical role for Piccolo in synaptic vesicle retrieval

    Frauke Ackermann, Kay Oliver Schink ... Craig Curtis Garner
    The active zone protein Piccolo regulates efficient recycling of SVs via Pra1 and Rab5 and is therefore critical for integrity and reliability of synaptic function.

    Misfolded GPI-anchored proteins are escorted through the secretory pathway by ER-derived factors

    Eszter Zavodszky, Ramanujan S Hegde
    ER-resident chaperones and cargo receptors make excursions to the cell surface and endocytic compartments when they accompany misfolded clients to lysosomes for degradation.

    Conversion of random X-inactivation to imprinted X-inactivation by maternal PRC2

    Clair Harris, Marissa Cloutier ... Sundeep Kalantry
    The PRC2 Polycomb complex made in the mouse oocyte prevents transcriptional inactivation of the maternal X-chromosome in the early embryo.

    Fast and flexible sequence induction in spiking neural networks via rapid excitability changes

    Rich Pang, Adrienne L Fairhall
    Biologically plausible changes in the excitabilities of single neurons may suffice to selectively modulate sequential network dynamics, without modifying of recurrent connectivity.

    Regulatory switch at the cytoplasmic interface controls TRPV channel gating

    Lejla Zubcevic, William F Borschel ... Seok-Yong Lee
    C-terminal domain of thermoTRPV channels regulates channel gating at the cytoplasmic interface through a switch-like process.

    Dissociable laminar profiles of concurrent bottom-up and top-down modulation in the human visual cortex

    Samuel JD Lawrence, David G Norris, Floris P de Lange
    Neural activity in the visual system is increased in different layers of the neocortex for bottom-up and top-down modulations.

    A generally conserved response to hypoxia in iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from humans and chimpanzees

    Michelle C Ward, Yoav Gilad
    Evolutionarily conserved hypoxic stress response genes are depleted for association with expression quantitative trait loci.

    Tumor suppressor SMARCB1 suppresses super-enhancers to govern hESC lineage determination

    Lee F Langer, James M Ward, Trevor K Archer
    The chromatin remodeler and tumor suppressor SMARCB1 acts to restrict superenhancer function to direct neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells while repressing bivalent gene activity in the pluripotent state.

    Transcriptional control of subtype switching ensures adaptation and growth of pancreatic cancer

    Christina R Adams, Htet Htwe Htwe ... Rushika M Perera
    The GLI2 transcription factor is a master regulator of the aggressive basal-like subtype of pancreatic cancer and enables adaptation to oncogenic KRAS ablation.

    An order-to-disorder structural switch activates the FoxM1 transcription factor

    Aimee H Marceau, Caileen M Brison ... Seth M Rubin
    Structural and biochemical analysis reveals that two intrinsically disordered domains of the transcription factor FoxM1 co-fold to form an autoinhibited conformation, which is disrupted by a specific activating phosphorylation event.
