    Improved use of a public good selects for the evolution of undifferentiated multicellularity

    John H Koschwanez, Kevin R Foster, Andrew W Murray
    The ability to share resources for the benefit of all members of a group may have driven ancient organisms to evolve from a unicellular to a multicellular state.

    Lis1 regulates dynein by sterically blocking its mechanochemical cycle

    Katerina Toropova, Sirui Zou ... Andres E Leschziner
    Structural and functional studies reveal how a ubiquitous regulator of dynein keeps the microtubule-based motor in a persistent track-bound state.

    Architecture and dynamics of the autophagic phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex

    Sulochanadevi Baskaran, Lars-Anders Carlson ... James H Hurley
    The first three-dimensional structure of the PI3KC3 complex I, which is involved in autophagy, provides a framework for understanding the allosteric regulation of lipid kinase activity.

    Reliable cell cycle commitment in budding yeast is ensured by signal integration

    Xili Liu, Xin Wang ... Chao Tang
    The decision to commit to cell division-the Start transition-in budding yeast is governed by time integration of G1 cyclin-CDK activity by the transcription factor Whi5.

    TRIP13 is a protein-remodeling AAA+ ATPase that catalyzes MAD2 conformation switching

    Qiaozhen Ye, Scott C Rosenberg ... Kevin D Corbett
    TRIP13 inactivates the spindle assembly checkpoint by converting MAD2 from its active ‘closed’ state to its inactive ‘open’ state.

    Filovirus receptor NPC1 contributes to species-specific patterns of ebolavirus susceptibility in bats

    Melinda Ng, Esther Ndungo ... Kartik Chandran
    NPC1 is a genetic determinant of filovirus susceptibility in bats, and some variations in bat NPC1 may reflect host adaptations to reduce filovirus replication and virulence.

    A new class of cyclin dependent kinase in Chlamydomonas is required for coupling cell size to cell division

    Yubing Li, Dianyi Liu ... James G Umen
    CDKG1 is a D-cyclin dependent retinoblastoma related protein kinase whose abundance scales with cell size and controls cell division cycle number during multiple fission.

    Molecular mechanism of activation-triggered subunit exchange in Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II

    Moitrayee Bhattacharyya, Margaret M Stratton ... John Kuriyan
    Closed-ring and open-spiral assembly of the multi-subunit neuronal kinase CaMKII suggest a mechanism for how active subunits shuttle between individual assemblies, propagating stimulatory signals.
