    A spatiotemporal reconstruction of the C. elegans pharyngeal cuticle reveals a structure rich in phase-separating proteins

    Muntasir Kamal, Levon Tokmakjian ... Peter J Roy
    A meta-analysis yields a spatiotemporal map of gene expression that provides a blueprint for nematode cuticle construction and reveals novel families of cuticular intrinsically disordered proteins.
    1. Neuroscience

    Brain aging comprises many modes of structural and functional change with distinct genetic and biophysical associations

    Stephen M Smith, Lloyd T Elliott ... Karla L Miller
    Imaging of structure and function in the brain from thousands of participants was used along with genetics and biophysical measures to study many different aspects of how the brain ages.

    Predicting the sequence-dependent backbone dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins

    Sanbo Qin, Huan-Xiang Zhou
    SeqDYN, a sequence-based method, accurately predicts the residue-specific transverse relaxation rates of intrinsically disordered proteins.
    1. Biochemistry and Chemical Biology

    Disordered proteins interact with the chemical environment to tune their protective function during drying

    Shraddha KC, Kenny H Nguyen ... Thomas C Boothby
    The ability of intrinsically disordered proteins to protect sensitive enzymes during drying can be tuned through interactions with cosolutes.

    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.

    Electrostatics of salt-dependent reentrant phase behaviors highlights diverse roles of ATP in biomolecular condensates

    Yi-Hsuan Lin, Tae Hun Kim ... Hue Sun Chan
    A combination of polymer physics theories consistently rationalizes comprehensive experimental effects of salt, ATP, phosphorylation, and sequence charge and arginine/lysine patterns on the reentrant phase behaviors of intrinsically disordered proteins.

    Sequence features of retrotransposons allow for epigenetic variability

    Kevin R Costello, Amy Leung ... Dustin E Schones
    Variably methylated retrotransposons have an underlying sequence that allows them to escape KAP1-mediated silencing and recruit ZF-CxxC proteins.

    Comprehensive machine-learning survival framework develops a consensus model in large-scale multicenter cohorts for pancreatic cancer

    Libo Wang, Zaoqu Liu ... Yu-ling Sun
    AIDPS derived by 76 machine-learning algorithm combinations in 13 independent multicenter cohorts exhibited superior capability than clinical traits and 86 published prognostic signatures and could serve as an ideal biomarker for stratified management and individualized treatment of pancreatic cancer.

    Genetically tunable frustration controls allostery in an intrinsically disordered transcription factor

    Jing Li, Jordan T White ... Vincent J Hilser
    Allostery in an intrinsically disordered domain of glucocorticoid receptor is mediated by opposing thermodynamic signals that are directed through the production of different isoforms.

    Controlling gene activation by enhancers through a drug-inducible topological insulator

    Taro Tsujimura, Osamu Takase ... Keiichi Hishikawa
    A novel synthetic DNA cassette of CTCF-binding sites combined with the drug-controllable induction system of heterochromatin enabled switchable blocking of chromatin conformation and gene-enhancer interaction.
