    Native functions of short tandem repeats

    Shannon E Wright, Peter K Todd
    The mechanisms by which non-pathologic short tandem repeats normally influence gene expression and engender rapid genetic variation across phylogeny directly inform how expansions in these same repeats elicit neurological disease.

    The scaffolding protein flot2 promotes cytoneme-based transport of wnt3 in gastric cancer

    Daniel Routledge, Sally Rogers ... Steffen Scholpp
    Signalling filopodia, also known as cytonemes, are a crucial transport mechanism of Wnt3 in gastric cancer and their emergence is controlled by Flot2.

    The interferon-inducible GTPase MxB promotes capsid disassembly and genome release of herpesviruses

    Manutea C Serrero, Virginie Girault ... Beate Sodeik
    Novel cell-free biochemical experiments show that the host GTPase MxB can restrict the infection of alphaherpesviruses by disassembling the sturdy viral capsids so that they can no longer protect the viral genomes.

    The LRRK2 G2019S mutation alters astrocyte-to-neuron communication via extracellular vesicles and induces neuron atrophy in a human iPSC-derived model of Parkinson’s disease

    Aurelie de Rus Jacquet, Jenna L Tancredi ... Erin K O'Shea
    Extracellular vesicles are proposed as novel, non-cell-autonomous mediators of neuronal atrophy in Parkinson's disease.

    The dual role of amyloid-β-sheet sequences in the cell surface properties of FLO11-encoded flocculins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Clara Bouyx, Marion Schiavone ... Jean Marie François
    The role of amyloid-β-aggregation sequence and of the various domains in the physiological function of the FLO11-encoded adhesin in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are disclosed in this report.

    Proteomic and transcriptomic profiling reveal different aspects of aging in the kidney

    Yuka Takemon, Joel M Chick ... Ron Korstanje
    mRNA profiling alone provides an incomplete picture of molecular aging and examination of changes in proteins is essential to understand aging processes that are not transcriptionally regulated.

    Identifying molecular features that are associated with biological function of intrinsically disordered protein regions

    Taraneh Zarin, Bob Strome ... Alan M Moses
    A statistical model systematically associates functions of intrinsically disordered regions with sequence-distributed molecular features such as charge, residue composition, or repeat content.

    Kin discrimination in social yeast is mediated by cell surface receptors of the Flo11 adhesin family

    Stefan Brückner, Rajib Schubert ... Hans-Ulrich Mösch
    Structural, biophysical and physiological analysis reveals how yeast cell surface adhesins evolved to confer self-nonself discrimination in single cells and whole populations.

    Cellular entry and uncoating of naked and quasi-enveloped human hepatoviruses

    Efraín E Rivera-Serrano, Olga González-López ... Stanley M Lemon
    Quasi-enveloped hepatitis A virions undergo clathrin-mediated endocytosis, followed by ALIX-dependent trafficking to lysosomes where the quasi-envelope is degraded, triggering uncoating of the RNA genome in association with lysosomal membrane rupture.

    Efficient termination of nuclear lncRNA transcription promotes mitochondrial genome maintenance

    Dorine Jeanne Mariëtte du Mee, Maxim Ivanov ... Sebastian Marquardt
    RNA Polymerase II transcriptional termination of a nuclear long non-coding RNA is required to maintain the mitochondrial genome and hence promotes budding yeast growth.
