    Quorum-sensing agr system of Staphylococcus aureus primes gene expression for protection from lethal oxidative stress

    Magdalena Podkowik, Andrew I Perault ... Bo Shopsin
    A new framework for examining tolerance in the context of quorum-sensing that may ultimately help predict and manage bacterial tolerance and, therefore, improve clinical outcome during infection.

    A novel bivalent interaction mode underlies a non-catalytic mechanism for Pin1-mediated protein kinase C regulation

    Xiao-Ru Chen, Karuna Dixit ... Tatyana I Igumenova
    Integrated biophysical, structural, and in-cell approaches demonstrate a non-canonical and non-isomerizable binding motif-dependent mode of protein kinase C regulation by the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1 in mammalian cells.

    Germline cis variant determines epigenetic regulation of the anti-cancer drug metabolism gene dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD)

    Ting Zhang, Alisa Ambrodji ... Steven M Offer
    A genetic variant within a newly identified enhancer regulates the expression of a key pharmacogene and alters the balance between resistance and sensitivity to a widely used chemotherapeutic.
    1. Neuroscience

    Similar excitability through different sodium channels and implications for the analgesic efficacy of selective drugs

    Yu-Feng Xie, Jane Yang ... Steven A Prescott
    Because nociceptors can achieve similar excitability using different sodium channel subtypes, it is difficult to know which channels are being used yet this information is critical for predicting if subtype-selective drugs will reduce pain.
    1. Neuroscience

    Conditional chemoconnectomics (cCCTomics) as a strategy for efficient and conditional targeting of chemical transmission

    Renbo Mao, Jianjun Yu ... Yi Rao
    New toolkits have been developed to enable cell-type-specific manipulation of CCT genes with remarkable efficiency while also uncovering the role of CNMa signal in regulating morning anticipation.

    Development of equation of motion deciphering locomotion including omega turns of Caenorhabditis elegans

    Taegon Chung, Iksoo Chang, Sangyeol Kim
    ElegansBot, a two-dimensional rigid body chain model, simulates various locomotion of C. elegans, including omega and delta turns, using Newtonian equations of motion.

    A new ‘CFS tracking’ paradigm reveals uniform suppression depth regardless of target complexity or salience

    David Alais, Jacob Coorey ... Matthew J Davidson
    A new and efficient continuous flash suppression (CFS) method is presented that provides breakthrough and suppression thresholds to quantify depth of target suppression.

    Ribosome subunit attrition and activation of the p53–MDM4 axis dominate the response of MLL-rearranged cancer cells to WDR5 WIN site inhibition

    Gregory Caleb Howard, Jing Wang ... William P Tansey
    Analysis of the action of WDR5 inhibitors in leukemia cells reveals decreased ribosome inventory, impaired protein synthesis, induction of nucleolar stress, and activation of p53 via alternative splicing of MDM4.

    N-cadherin directs the collective Schwann cell migration required for nerve regeneration through Slit2/3-mediated contact inhibition of locomotion

    Julian JA Hoving, Elizabeth Harford-Wright ... Alison C Lloyd
    N-cadherin and Slit2/3/Robo interactions provide the outward force to drive collective Schwann cell migration during nerve regeneration, identifying a dual role for N-cadherin in both adhesion and repulsion processes during Schwann cell collective migration.
