    Enhanced homology-directed human genome engineering by controlled timing of CRISPR/Cas9 delivery

    Steven Lin, Brett T Staahl ... Jennifer A Doudna
    Building on previous work (Jinek et al., 2013), we report a simple and robust system to achieve high fidelity and high efficiency (30% of homologous recombination) genome engineering by homology-directed repair pathway in human cells using cell cycle synchronization and timed delivery of Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes.

    Ancestral resurrection reveals evolutionary mechanisms of kinase plasticity

    Conor J Howard, Victor Hanson-Smith ... Liam J Holt
    Reconstructing ancestral enzymes has revealed that a switch in kinase substrate preference evolved via an expanded specificity intermediate that is tolerated in vivo, thus providing a path for kinase diversification.

    The NTP generating activity of pyruvate kinase II is critical for apicoplast maintenance in Plasmodium falciparum

    Russell P Swift, Krithika Rajaram ... Sean T Prigge
    The pyruvate kinase contained in the apicoplast organelle of malaria parasites makes the nucleotide triphosphates required for several processes including transcription of the organellar genome.

    Multi-phosphorylation reaction and clustering tune Pom1 gradient mid-cell levels according to cell size

    Veneta Gerganova, Charlotte Floderer ... Sophie G Martin
    Advanced microscopy techniques reveal that clusters of Pom1 kinase at the membrane represent the functional unit that shape the concentration gradients and modulate Pom1 mid-cell levels according to cell size.

    Large-scale animal model study uncovers altered brain pH and lactate levels as a transdiagnostic endophenotype of neuropsychiatric disorders involving cognitive impairment

    Hideo Hagihara, Hirotaka Shoji ... Tsuyoshi Miyakawa
    Brain lactate and pH changes, identified as common features in diverse neuropsychiatric animal models, may represent transdiagnostic endophenotypes associated with cognitive impairment.

    Modular, cascade-like transcriptional program of regeneration in Stentor

    Pranidhi Sood, Athena Lin ... Wallace F Marshall
    Regeneration of single Stentor coeruleus cells is accompanied by a program of gene expression that can be decomposed into distinct modules, showing a cascade-like organization, and involving genes with conserved function in development and cell cycle control.
