    Highly efficient 5' capping of mitochondrial RNA with NAD+ and NADH by yeast and human mitochondrial RNA polymerase

    Jeremy G Bird, Urmimala Basu ... Bryce E Nickels
    Eukaryotic mitochondrial RNA polymerases cap RNA with NAD with much higher efficiencies than nuclear RNA polymerase II; as a consequence, mitochondrial RNAs have remarkably high levels of NAD capping.

    Translational initiation factor eIF5 replaces eIF1 on the 40S ribosomal subunit to promote start-codon recognition

    Jose Luis Llácer, Tanweer Hussain ... V Ramakrishnan
    The N-terminal domain (NTD) of the initiation factor eIF5 bound to the 40S subunit at the precise location vacated by eIF1 promotes tRNAi accommodation at AUG codons.

    A secretory pathway kinase regulates sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ homeostasis and protects against heart failure

    Adam J Pollak, Canzhao Liu ... Jack E Dixon
    Protein phosphorylation within the lumen of the secretory pathway regulates cardiac function.
    1. Neuroscience

    Attention periodically samples competing stimuli during binocular rivalry

    Matthew J Davidson, David Alais ... Naotsugu Tsuchiya
    A combined behavioural and electroencephalographic approach investigating the covert allocation of attention shows evidence for distributed periodic sampling away from a conscious visual image.

    The hydrophobic nature of a novel membrane interface regulates the enzyme activity of a voltage-sensing phosphatase

    Akira Kawanabe, Masaki Hashimoto ... Yasushi Okamura
    Electrophysiological and fluorometric studies of Ci-VSP expressed in Xenopus oocyte revealed two states of the enzyme region with distinct enzyme activity and distinct coupling to the voltage sensor.

    Response to short-term deprivation of the human adult visual cortex measured with 7T BOLD

    Paola Binda, Jan W Kurzawski ... Maria Concetta Morrone
    Two hour deprivation of vision in one eye transiently boosts the representation of the deprived eye (suppressing the non-deprived eye) in adult human V1 and along the ventral pathway.
    1. Cancer Biology

    Hyperactivation of ERK by multiple mechanisms is toxic to RTK-RAS mutation-driven lung adenocarcinoma cells

    Arun M Unni, Bryant Harbourne ... Harold Varmus
    Cancer cells driven by mutations in KRAS or EGFR are dependent on DUSP6 to prevent ERK-induced cell death, creating a novel vulnerability for targeted therapy.

    Odor-evoked category reactivation in human ventromedial prefrontal cortex during sleep promotes memory consolidation

    Laura K Shanahan, Eva Gjorgieva ... Jay A Gottfried
    Odor cues in sleep evoke content-specific signatures of neural reactivation in visual and prefrontal brain areas that predict subsequent memory performance in the wake state.

    Murine HSCs contribute actively to native hematopoiesis but with reduced differentiation capacity upon aging

    Petter Säwen, Mohamed Eldeeb ... David Bryder
    Using a lineage tracing model, it is demonstrated that adult murine hematopoiesis is contingent on the continuous output from HSCs, with quantitative contributions that are dependent on lineage-type and age.

    Privatisation rescues function following loss of cooperation

    Sandra Breum Andersen, Melanie Ghoul ... Ashleigh S Griffin
    A population of pathogenic bacteria is found to respond to the loss of cooperation by privatising an essential function.
