    Lack of activity of recombinant HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) on reported non-HIF substrates

    Matthew E Cockman, Kerstin Lippl ... Peter J Ratcliffe
    Assays using recombinant HIF prolyl hydroxylases did not support hydroxylation of more than 20 reported non-HIF substrates under conditions where robust HIF hydroxylation was observed.

    Direct glia-to-neuron transdifferentiation gives rise to a pair of male-specific neurons that ensure nimble male mating

    Laura Molina-García, Carla Lloret-Fernández ... Richard J Poole
    A novel developmental mechanism generates a previously undescribed pair of sex-specific proprioceptive neurons required for male-specific behaviour.

    Structural dynamics determine voltage and pH gating in human voltage-gated proton channel

    Shuo Han, Sophia Peng ... Shizhen Wang
    Visualization of the real-time conformational transitions of the human voltage-gated proton channel hHv1 provided novel insights into how voltage and pH gradients modify the dynamic behaviors of channel structures to control proton flow across membrane.

    Structure and substrate ion binding in the sodium/proton antiporter PaNhaP

    David Wöhlert, Werner Kühlbrandt, Özkan Yildiz
    The X-ray structure of the PaNhaP provides a unique view of substrate-ion binding and release in electroneutral sodium/proton antiporters.

    Structure of the bacterial ribosome at 2 Å resolution

    Zoe L Watson, Fred R Ward ... Jamie HD Cate
    High-resolution maps and models of the bacterial ribosome provide new chemical insights into protein synthesis, and should enable the development of robust tools for cryo-EM structure modeling and refinement.

    Distinct roles of visual, parietal, and frontal motor cortices in memory-guided sensorimotor decisions

    Michael J Goard, Gerald N Pho ... Mriganka Sur
    Visual, parietal, and frontal motor cortices play distinct and necessary roles in mapping sensory features to future motor action.
  1. Point of View: Competency-based assessment for the training of PhD students and early-career scientists

    Michael F Verderame, Victoria H Freedman ... Wayne T McCormack
    A method to assess the training of scientists, based on a set of 10 core competencies, is proposed.
  2. Research: Decoupling of the minority PhD talent pool and assistant professor hiring in medical school basic science departments in the US

    Kenneth D Gibbs Jr, Jacob Basson ... David A Broniatowski
    A systems-level analysis of the biomedical workforce in the US shows that current strategies to enhance faculty diversity are unlikely to have a significant impact, and that there is a need to increase the number of PhDs from underrepresented minority backgrounds who move on to postdoctoral positions.

    Structural motifs for subtype-specific pH-sensitive gating of vertebrate otopetrin proton channels

    Bochuan Teng, Joshua P Kaplan ... Emily R Liman
    The sour receptor, OTOP1, and related proton channel OTOP3 are steeply activated by extracellular protons while OTOP2 is active over a broad pH range and differences in gating are partly attributed to extracellular domains.

    The conformation of the histone H3 tail inhibits association of the BPTF PHD finger with the nucleosome

    Emma A Morrison, Samuel Bowerman ... Catherine A Musselman
    The BPTF PHD finger is inhibited from binding the methylated H3 tails in the context of the nucleosome due to their robust interaction with the nucleosomal DNA, which can be modulated by additional histone PTMs.
