    Bacterial actin MreB forms antiparallel double filaments

    Fusinita van den Ent, Thierry Izoré ... Jan Löwe
    The prokaryotic actin homologue MreB forms antiparallel double filaments in vitro and in vivo, an architecture that is unprecedented among the actin family of proteins.

    The Calpain-7 protease functions together with the ESCRT-III protein IST1 within the midbody to regulate the timing and completion of abscission

    Elliott L Paine, Jack J Skalicky ... Wesley I Sundquist
    Biochemical, structural, imaging, and functional studies reveal how the ESCRT-III protein IST1 recruits the CAPN7 cysteine protease to midbodies, where its proteolytic activity is required for efficient abscission and NoCut checkpoint arrest.

    In vivo super-resolution RESOLFT microscopy of Drosophila melanogaster

    Sebastian Schnorrenberg, Tim Grotjohann ... Stefan Jakobs
    Building on previous work (Grotjohann et al., 2012), low-light super-resolution microscopy has been performed on living transgenic Drosophila larvae and tissues.

    Analyzing the brainstem circuits for respiratory chemosensitivity in freely moving mice

    Amol Bhandare, Joseph van de Wiel ... Nicholas Dale
    Recordings from brainstem nuclei involved in chemosensory regulation of breathing in awake freely behaving mice show different complementary types of neuronal responses to hypercapnia in the retrotrapezoid nucleus and the rostral medullary raphe.

    Prediction and characterization of enzymatic activities guided by sequence similarity and genome neighborhood networks

    Suwen Zhao, Ayano Sakai ... Matthew P Jacobson
    Genome neighborhood networks provide an efficient large-scale approach to mine metabolic pathway context for entire families of proteins and enzymes.

    A dopamine-gated learning circuit underpins reproductive state-dependent odor preference in Drosophila females

    Ariane C Boehm, Anja B Friedrich ... Ilona C Grunwald Kadow
    Behavioral and in vivo imaging analysis in the fly suggests that mating-related sensory experience regulates female odor perception and expression of choice behavior through a dopamine-gated learning circuit.

    Splicing in a single neuron is coordinately controlled by RNA binding proteins and transcription factors

    Morgan Thompson, Ryan Bixby ... Adam D Norris
    Single-cell splicing of a conserved neuronal kinase is established by a combinatorial code of fate-determining transcription factors and neuronal RNA binding proteins, with different combinations in different neuron types.

    A mechano-osmotic feedback couples cell volume to the rate of cell deformation

    Larisa Venkova, Amit Singh Vishen ... Matthieu Piel
    Whether deforming cells behave as elastic balls (deforming at constant volume) or as sponges (loosing volume as they deform) depends on how fast they change their shape, because the cell volume depends on the tension of the plasma membrane.

    Post-transcriptional repression of circadian component CLOCK regulates cancer-stemness in murine breast cancer cells

    Takashi Ogino, Naoya Matsunaga ... Shigehiro Ohdo
    The expression of the major circadian component CLOCK is a key regulator of stemness in breast cancer cells, which can be a novel strategy for breast cancer treatment.

    Evidence for DNA-mediated nuclear compartmentalization distinct from phase separation

    David Trombley McSwiggen, Anders S Hansen ... Xavier Darzacq
    Transient DNA interactions by DNA-binding proteins are utilized by herpes simple virus as an alternative route to generate membraneless compartments in the nucleus without invoking phase separation.
