    An assay for de novo kinetochore assembly reveals a key role for the CENP-T pathway in budding yeast

    Jackie Lang, Adrienne Barber, Sue Biggins
    An assay to assemble kinetochores de novo was developed and used to identify the role of the CENP-T pathway.

    Ssd1 and Gcn2 suppress global translation efficiency in replicatively aged yeast while their activation extends lifespan

    Zheng Hu, Bo Xia ... Jessica K Tyler
    Activation of the stress response pathway in young cells extends replicative lifespan, not by reducing global protein synthesis per se, but by Gcn4-mediated autophagy induction.

    Coalescing beneficial host and deleterious antiparasitic actions as an antischistosomal strategy

    John D Chan, Timothy A Day, Jonathan S Marchant
    Engagement of both host and parasite signaling pathways proves a novel approach for developing improved anti-parasitic therapies.

    Ligand discrimination and gating in cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels from apo and partial agonist-bound cryo-EM structures

    Jan Rheinberger, Xiaolong Gao ... Crina M Nimigean
    High resolution SthK channel cryo-EM structures in different ligand-bound states combined with single-channel functional data in the same conditions constrain a gating mechanism for CNG channels.

    Single-particle cryo-EM structure of a voltage-activated potassium channel in lipid nanodiscs

    Doreen Matthies, Chanhyung Bae ... Kenton Jon Swartz
    The structure of a voltage-activated potassium channel in lipid nanodiscs solved using cryo-electron microscopy is similar to previous X-ray structures, and provides insights into the mechanism of C-type inactivation.

    A multispecies coalescent model for quantitative traits

    Fábio K Mendes, Jesualdo A Fuentes-González ... Matthew W Hahn
    A model for evolutionary inferences at both micro- and macroevolutionary scales is proposed and evaluated theoretically and through simulations.

    Cryo-EM structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils

    Ricardo Guerrero-Ferreira, Nicholas MI Taylor ... Henning Stahlberg
    The alpha-synuclein fibril structure reported here buries residues 50-57 at the interface between its two protofilaments, suggesting that familial Parkinson's disease associated mutations in these residues lead to a structure not compatible with the one presented here.

    Structure of mouse protocadherin 15 of the stereocilia tip link in complex with LHFPL5

    Jingpeng Ge, Johannes Elferich ... Eric Gouaux
    Structures of a mouse PCDH15 and LHFPL5 complex, two proteins involved in converting sound into electrical signals, illuminate how mechanical stimuli are delivered to the membrane of inner ear hair cells.

    Novel functions for integrin-associated proteins revealed by analysis of myofibril attachment in Drosophila

    Hannah J Green, Annabel GM Griffiths ... Nicholas H Brown
    Integrin and actin associated proteins are resolved into four layers within myofibril attachments, an architecture requiring balanced positive and negative regulation of integrin adhesion with integrated mechanotransduction and actin pathways.

    Functional gradients of the cerebellum

    Xavier Guell, Jeremy D Schmahmann ... Satrajit S Ghosh
    Cerebellar functional regions follow a gradual organization, which progresses from primary (motor) to transmodal (Default Mode Network) regions, and a secondary axis extends from task-unfocused to task-focused processing.
