    Multiple cullin-associated E3 ligases regulate cyclin D1 protein stability

    Ke Lu, Ming Zhang ... Di Chen
    Cyclin D1 protein stability is regulated by ubiquitin-proteasome mechanism mediated by multiple E3 ligases, including newly identified Keap1, DDB2, and WSB2.

    Conscious processing of global and local auditory irregularities causes differentiated heartbeat-evoked responses

    Diego Candia-Rivera, Federico Raimondo ... Jacobo D Sitt
    Brain-heart interactions under the processing of auditory irregularities could help to distinguish whether a patient is in a vegetative state or in a minimally conscious state.

    Discovery and biological evaluation of a potent small molecule CRM1 inhibitor for its selective ablation of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma

    He Liu, Meisuo Liu ... Yongliang Yang
    Deep reinforcement model and experimental evaluations identified a small-molecule CRM1 inhibitor that can selectively ablate extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma cells.

    Allosteric regulation of kinase activity in living cells

    Shivani Sujay Godbole, Nikolay V Dokholyan
    Protein kinase dysregulation, implicated in various diseases via cell signaling pathways, can be therapeutically and experimentally managed through allosteric modulation, facilitated by a dynamic network of interactions, with computational techniques enabling precise control in live systems.

    A toxin-antidote selfish element increases fitness of its host

    Lijiang Long, Wen Xu ... Patrick T McGrath
    A toxin-antidote element, identified for its role as a selfish genetic element that spreads through a population by killing certain offspring, also plays a beneficial role to the host.

    A modelled analysis of the impact of COVID-19-related disruptions to HPV vaccination

    Louiza S Velentzis, Megan A Smith ... Karen Canfell
    Results from this modelled analysis indicate that short-term delays in HPV vaccination of adolescents are unlikely to have substantial long-term effects on HPV-related cancers, provided catch-up of missed vaccine doses can be implemented.

    Evolution of a functionally intact but antigenically distinct DENV fusion loop

    Rita M Meganck, Deanna Zhu ... Longping V Tse
    Operating as a serum profiling tool for dengue infection and vaccination, the D2-FLM variant, which is insensitive to antibody-dependent enhancement-prone fusion loop antibodies, also offers potential for a safer dengue virus vaccine.

    Broca’s area, variation and taxic diversity in early Homo from Koobi Fora (Kenya)

    Amélie Beaudet, Edwin de Jager
    A computer-assisted revision of a unique fossil from Kenya supports the hypothesis that the modern features of our brain emerged recently in the human evolutionary history.

    The kleisin subunit controls the function of C. elegans meiotic cohesins by determining the mode of DNA binding and differential regulation by SCC-2 and WAPL-1

    Maikel Castellano-Pozo, Georgios Sioutas ... Enrique Martinez-Perez
    Meiosis-specific cohesin complexes differing in their kleisin subunit display different chromosome binding dynamics and perform specialised functions in sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome axis organisation, and double-strand break repair.

    Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging reveals light-induced brain asymmetry in embryo

    Elena Lorenzi, Stefano Tambalo ... Angelo Bifone
    The protocol reported can open the way to investigation of the effects of a variety of sensory stimulations on brain activity in embryo.
