    A synthetic peptide that prevents cAMP regulation in mammalian hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels

    Andrea Saponaro, Francesca Cantini ... Anna Moroni
    Cell-penetrating peptide drugs prevent adrenergic regulation of pacemaker channels without altering the overall response of the cell to cAMP.

    TALE factors use two distinct functional modes to control an essential zebrafish gene expression program

    Franck Ladam, William Stanney ... Charles G Sagerström
    TALE transcription factors bind different genomic motifs and function together with different protein partners at different stages of zebrafish embryogenesis.

    Temporal profiling of redox-dependent heterogeneity in single cells

    Meytal Radzinski, Rosi Fassler ... Dana Reichmann
    Analysis of aging yeast cells using the in-vivo roGFP2-based probe reveals redox-dependent heterogeneity, reflected in a bi-modal distribution of the oxidation status, differential growth and replication, as well as distinct proteomic and transcriptomic profiles.

    Pitx2c orchestrates embryonic axis extension via mesendodermal cell migration

    Michelle M Collins, Hans-Martin Maischein ... Didier YR Stainier
    Expression of Pitx2c at the onset of gastrulation drives convergence and extension movements in the zebrafish embryo by promoting downstream pathways affecting chemokine signaling, integrin-ECM interactions, and planar cell polarity components.

    Dynamic action of the Sec machinery during initiation, protein translocation and termination

    Tomas Fessl, Daniel Watkins ... Roman Tuma
    The complex process of protein translocation across membranes has been dissected into multiple key steps and the distributions of translocation rates indicate stochastic nature of the reaction.

    SOXF factors regulate murine satellite cell self-renewal and function through inhibition of β-catenin activity

    Sonia Alonso-Martin, Frédéric Auradé ... Frédéric Relaix
    A set of ex vivo and in vivo experiments, including genetic ablation and regeneration studies, identify a key regulatory function of SOXF factors in muscle stem cells in mice.

    N-glycosylation in the protease domain of trypsin-like serine proteases mediates calnexin-assisted protein folding

    Hao Wang, Shuo Li ... Qingyu Wu
    N-glycans commonly present in the protease domains are required for calnexin-mediated protein folding and intracellular trafficking.

    BHLHE40, a third transcription factor required for insulin induction of SREBP-1c mRNA in rodent liver

    Jing Tian, Jiaxi Wu ... Michael S Brown
    Biochemical and genetic studies reveal a third transcription factor, BHLHE40, that together with LXR and C/EBPβ mediates insulin induction of SREBP-1c, which in turn leads to triglyceride accumulation in liver.

    Signals from the brain and olfactory epithelium control shaping of the mammalian nasal capsule cartilage

    Marketa Kaucka, Julian Petersen ... Igor Adameyko
    The brain and olfactory epithelium play a key role in pattering chondrogenic areas in the developing face, which is partly based on the release of SHH from neurosensory structures into the facial mesenchyme.

    Structure of the CLC-1 chloride channel from Homo sapiens

    Eunyong Park, Roderick MacKinnon
    A cryo-electron microscopy study of the human CLC-1 chloride ion channel reveals the structural basis of why some CLC proteins function as passive chloride channels whereas others function as an active proton-chloride antiporters.
