    Long-lived metabolic enzymes in the crystalline lens identified by pulse-labeling of mice and mass spectrometry

    Pan Liu, Seby Louis Edassery ... Jing Jin
    By performing 15N pulse-labeling of mice, the turnover of hundreds of proteins in eye tissues was measured by mass spectrometry that revealed long-lived metabolic enzymes in the lens.

    Agonist-specific voltage-dependent gating of lysosomal two-pore Na+ channels

    Xiaoli Zhang, Wei Chen ... Haoxing Xu
    Tricyclic antidepressants activate lysosomal two-pore Na+ channels in a voltage-dependent manner.

    Interhemispherically dynamic representation of an eye movement-related activity in mouse frontal cortex

    Takashi R Sato, Takahide Itokazu ... Tatsuo K Sato
    Optogenetically induced motor disruption can evoke plasticity in the mouse frontal cortex that compensates for the motor deficits, accompanying changes in inter-hemispheric motor representation.

    RNA from a simple-tandem repeat is required for sperm maturation and male fertility in Drosophila melanogaster

    Wilbur Kyle Mills, Yuh Chwen G Lee ... Gary H Karpen
    Sperm production and male fertility in Drosophila melanogaster depend on transcripts generated from the AAGAG(n) repeated satellite DNA within primary spermatocytes.

    Targeting the vascular-specific phosphatase PTPRB protects against retinal ganglion cell loss in a pre-clinical model of glaucoma

    Benjamin R Thomson, Isabel A Carota ... Susan E Quaggin
    Genetic deletion of one Ptprb allele leads to increased phosphorylation of the TEK receptor, increasing Schlemm's canal area and protecting retinal ganglion cells in a mouse model of glaucoma.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    Selection on mutators is not frequency-dependent

    Yevgeniy Raynes, Daniel Weinreich
    Contrary to intuition that the evolutionary fate of mutation rate modifying alleles is frequency-dependent, neither the strength nor the sign of selection on modifiers depends on initial frequency.

    In vivo Firre and Dxz4 deletion elucidates roles for autosomal gene regulation

    Daniel Andergassen, Zachary D Smith ... John L Rinn
    The X-linked loci Firre and Dxz4 are involved in autosomal gene regulation rather than XCI biology.

    Dopamine neuron ensembles signal the content of sensory prediction errors

    Thomas A Stalnaker, James D Howard ... Geoffrey Schoenbaum
    Dopamine neurons function as an ensemble to signal a multidimensional feature prediction error.

    Brain-specific Drp1 regulates postsynaptic endocytosis and dendrite formation independently of mitochondrial division

    Kie Itoh, Daisuke Murata ... Hiromi Sesaki
    Genetic and cell biological analyses reveal a new role of Drp1 in postsynaptic endocytosis during brain development beyond mitochondrial division GTPase.

    Native adiponectin in serum binds to mammalian cells expressing T-cadherin, but not AdipoRs or calreticulin

    Shunbun Kita, Shiro Fukuda ... Iichiro Shimomura
    Binding study of native adiponectin existing in serum supported the importance of T-cadherin but not AdipoRs nor calreticulin.
