    Bestrophin-4 relays HES4 and interacts with TWIST1 to suppress epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in colorectal cancer cells

    Zijing Wang, Bihan Xia ... Jilin Yang
    The inhibition of colorectal cancer (CRC) proliferation, migration, and invasion is attributed to BEST4, which exhibits epistasis over Hes4 in the downregulation of Twist1 and consequent suppression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in CRC.

    A neurotransmitter atlas of C. elegans males and hermaphrodites

    Chen Wang, Berta Vidal ... Oliver Hobert
    Expression pattern analysis of neurotransmitter synthesis, secretion, and reuptake machinery reveals animal-wide usage of neurotransmitters in both sexes of Caenorhabditis elegans.

    Pigmentation level of human iPSC-derived RPE does not indicate a specific gene expression profile

    Yoko Nakai-Futatsugi, Jianshi Jin ... Masayo Takahashi
    Pigmentation that confers protective function of RPE is not underlaid by a specific gene expression profile, reviled by microscopic imaging together with single-cell RNA sequencing.

    Inhibition of the sodium-dependent HCO3- transporter SLC4A4, produces a cystic fibrosis-like airway disease phenotype

    Vinciane Saint-Criq, Anita Guequén ... Carlos A Flores
    The reduction of bicarbonate secretion into the airways reproduces cystic fibrosis-like features, independently of chloride secretion.

    Distinct expression requirements and rescue strategies for BEST1 loss- and gain-of-function mutations

    Qingqing Zhao, Yang Kong ... Tingting Yang
    BEST1 autosomal dominant loss-of-function mutations surprisingly behave in a dominant-negative manner, whereas gain-of-function mutations exhibit a strong dominant effect that necessitates CRISPR/Cas9-mediated suppression of the endogenous mutant allele in gene therapy.

    Cryo-EM structure of the calcium release-activated calcium channel Orai in an open conformation

    Xiaowei Hou, Ian R Outhwaite ... Stephen Barstow Long
    Structure of the Ca2+ channel Orai in an open conformation provides insights into the opening mechanism and the channel's role in regulating Ca2+ entry into immune and other non-excitable cells.

    The genetic factors of bilaterian evolution

    Peter Heger, Wen Zheng ... Thomas Wiehe
    Advanced orthology clustering of bilaterian and non-bilaterian sequences identifies 157 bilaterian-specific genes which are linked to key morphological features of this animal group.

    Cryo-EM structures and functional properties of CALHM channels of the human placenta

    Katarzyna Drożdżyk, Marta Sawicka ... Raimund Dutzler
    Members of the calcium homeostasis modulator family expressed in the placenta form large channels with unknown activation properties that harbor a lipid bilayer on the inside of a cylindrical pore.

    Structural basis for ion selectivity in TMEM175 K+ channels

    Janine D Brunner, Roman P Jakob ... Stephan Schenck
    Structural and functional analysis of a recently discovered non-canonical potassium channel family reveals a unique selectivity filter that is exposed to permeating ions only in the conductive state.

    Identification of TMEM206 proteins as pore of PAORAC/ASOR acid-sensitive chloride channels

    Florian Ullrich, Sandy Blin ... Thomas J Jentsch
    TMEM206 proteins are identified as constituting the pore of the widely expressed acid-activated chloride channel PAORAC/ASOR, which is important in acid toxicity.
