    An essential, kinetoplastid-specific GDP-Fuc: β-D-Gal α-1,2-fucosyltransferase is located in the mitochondrion of Trypanosoma brucei

    Giulia Bandini, Sebastian Damerow ... Michael AJ Ferguson
    The activity, localization, and essentiality of TbFUT1, together with its ability to complement Leishmania parasites lacking the homologous gene, suggest the presence of an uncommon and conserved mitochondrial fucosylation pathway required for kinetoplastid parasites viability.

    Characterization of small fiber pathology in a mouse model of Fabry disease

    Lukas Hofmann, Dorothea Hose ... Nurcan Üçeyler
    Globotriaosylcermide directly impacts neuronal integrity and ion channel function as potential mechanism underlying small fiber pathology in Fabry disease.

    Variation in the modality of a yeast signaling pathway is mediated by a single regulator

    Julius Palme, Jue Wang, Michael Springer
    Yeast cells can tune the modality of a nutrient response on physiological and evolutionary timescales by adapting the expression and sequence of a sensor protein.

    The LIM protein complex establishes a retinal circuitry of visual adaptation by regulating Pax6 α-enhancer activity

    Yeha Kim, Soyeon Lim ... Jin Woo Kim
    Regulation of Pax6 expression through the α-enhancer fine-tunes amacrine cell subtype number, and consequently, the visual output of the retina.

    Glycan-based shaping of the microbiota during primate evolution

    Sumnima Singh, Patricia Bastos-Amador ... Miguel P Soares
    Ggta1 deletion in mice shapes and reduces the microbiota pathogenicity and probably contributed to the natural selection of GGTA1 loss-of-function mutations in the ancestral primates that gave rise to humans.

    The glucuronyltransferase B4GAT1 is required for initiation of LARGE-mediated α-dystroglycan functional glycosylation

    Tobias Willer, Kei-ichiro Inamori ... Kevin P Campbell
    Post-phosphoryl modification of α-dystroglycan requires the glucuronyltransferase B4GAT1; this enzyme synthesizes the acceptor glycan that serves as a primer for the glycosyltransferase LARGE to synthesize the laminin-binding glycan.

    Fabry Disease: Ion channels and neuropathic pain

    Madeleine C Klein, Anne Louise Oaklander
    Pain behaviors in a Fabry mouse model are associated with the accumulation of a fat molecule that disrupts sodium ion channels in small fiber neurons.

    The functional O-mannose glycan on α-dystroglycan contains a phospho-ribitol primed for matriglycan addition

    Jeremy L Praissman, Tobias Willer ... Lance Wells
    Disruption of the LG domain-binding phospho-ribitol-containing O-mannose structures on α-dystroglycan results in congenital muscular dystrophy.

    A single pair of neurons links sleep to memory consolidation in Drosophila melanogaster

    Paula R Haynes, Bethany L Christmann, Leslie C Griffith
    Dorsal paired medial neurons, which are required for memory consolidation, promote sleep by inhibiting the excitation of mushroom body neurons.

    Drosophila macrophages switch to aerobic glycolysis to mount effective antibacterial defense

    Gabriela Krejčová, Adéla Danielová ... Adam Bajgar
    Activated Drosophila macrophages undergo transient metabolic remodeling towards Hypoxia inducible factor 1 α-driven aerobic glycolysis, a program that induces systemic metabolic changes and is crucial for resistance to infection.
