    Single-cell transcriptome profiles of Drosophila fruitless-expressing neurons from both sexes

    Colleen M Palmateer, Catherina Artikis ... Michelle N Arbeitman
    A single-cell RNA-seq study examining gene expression profiles in neurons that underlie Drosophila reproductive behaviors shows males and females build sex-specific behaviors at the molecular-genetic level by overlaying sex-specific information on core gene expression networks.

    Conserved conformational selection mechanism of Hsp70 chaperone-substrate interactions

    Ashok Sekhar, Algirdas Velyvis ... Lewis E Kay
    NMR-based flux measurements show that both bacterial and human Hsp70 chaperones interact with helical, as well as sheet substrates predominantly through a conformational selection mechanism.

    PP2A/B55α substrate recruitment as defined by the retinoblastoma-related protein p107

    Holly Fowle, Ziran Zhao ... Xavier Graña
    Molecular, cellular, and computational analyses reveal key insights into PP2A/B55α's mechanisms of substrate recruitment and active site engagement, and facilitate identification/validation of new substrates, a step towards understanding PP2A/B55α's role in multiple cellular processes.

    Different brain systems support learning from received and avoided pain during human pain-avoidance learning

    Marieke Jepma, Mathieu Roy ... Albert Dahan
    Pharmacological fMRI study provides evidence that learning from the unexpected presence and absence of pain is mediated by different brain systems.

    Human endogenous oxytocin and its neural correlates show adaptive responses to social touch based on recent social context

    Linda Handlin, Giovanni Novembre ... India Morrison
    Touch-mediated social interactions in human females elicited endogenous oxytocin and brain responses in a covariant manner, and these changes were modulated by the familiarity of the person delivering touch as well as the recent history of social interaction.

    Dynamic allostery in substrate binding by human thymidylate synthase

    Jeffrey P Bonin, Paul J Sapienza, Andrew L Lee
    The mechanism of substrate binding cooperativity in human thymidylate synthase does not derive from millisecond dynamic interconversion between active and inactive conformations in solution, but instead results primarily from differential changes in faster side-chain motions (conformational entropy), facilitated by a disordered N-terminus.

    A spike sorting toolbox for up to thousands of electrodes validated with ground truth recordings in vitro and in vivo

    Pierre Yger, Giulia LB Spampinato ... Olivier Marre
    A spike sorting toolbox to quickly and reliably access the activity of thousands of neurons recorded with dense extracellular probes.

    A molecular mechanism underlying gustatory memory trace for an association in the insular cortex

    Chinnakkaruppan Adaikkan, Kobi Rosenblum
    The role of CaMKII-GluA1 in the cortex in maintaining a given taste memory trace for an aversive association has been elucidated.

    Cellular diversity in the Drosophila midbrain revealed by single-cell transcriptomics

    Vincent Croset, Christoph D Treiber, Scott Waddell
    Sequencing mRNA from thousands of single cells from the Drosophila brain highlights the extent of cellular diversity and reveals co-expression of specific neuropeptides with particular fast-acting neurotransmitters and monoamines.
