    Human promoter directionality is determined by transcriptional initiation and the opposing activities of INTS11 and CDK9

    Joshua D Eaton, Jessica Board ... Steven West
    High-resolution mapping of RNA polymerase II transcripts shows that the directionality of mammalian promoters is determined by preferential transcriptional initiation and the opposing activities of Integrator and CDK9.

    Integrator complex subunit 12 knockout overcomes a transcriptional block to HIV latency reversal

    Carley N Gray, Manickam Ashokkumar ... Michael Emerman
    A block to more potent and specific release of HIV from latency has been identified as a subunit of the Integrator complex, which may aid strategies for HIV cure.

    Structural and mechanistic insights into ribosomal ITS2 RNA processing by nuclease-kinase machinery

    Jiyun Chen, Hong Chen ... Liang Liu
    The structures of full-length Las1-Grc3 complexes provide crucial insights into the activation mechanism of HEPN nuclease and the pathway of pre-rRNA processing in ribosome biosynthesis.

    ZC3H4 restricts non-coding transcription in human cells

    Chris Estell, Lee Davidson ... Steven West
    An unbiased proteomics approach in human cells identifies ZC3H4 and shows that it is important for controlling the transcription of unstable RNA synthesized upstream of promoters and over enhancers.

    Tuning of in vivo cognate B-T cell interactions by Intersectin 2 is required for effective anti-viral B cell immunity

    Marianne Burbage, Francesca Gasparrini ... Facundo D Batista
    Intersectin2 deficiency is associated with impaired humoral responses to viral infection and B-cell-intrisic defects in germinal centre formation, resulting from the reduced ability of intersectin2-KO B cells to establish cognate interactions with helper T cells.

    Apical PAR complex proteins protect against programmed epithelial assaults to create a continuous and functional intestinal lumen

    Maria Danielle Sallee, Melissa A Pickett, Jessica L Feldman
    During intestinal development, apical PAR complex proteins keep apical domains and junctions continuous between cells as they divide and elongate, and ultimately build a continuous functional tube.

    Antipsychotic olanzapine-induced misfolding of proinsulin in the endoplasmic reticulum accounts for atypical development of diabetes

    Satoshi Ninagawa, Seiichiro Tada ... Kazutoshi Mori
    The mechanism identified here that mediates olanzapine-induced b-cell dysfunction should be considered, along with weight gain, in mitigating adverse side effects when patients with schizophrenia are prescribed olanzapine.

    Structural basis of tubulin recruitment and assembly by microtubule polymerases with tumor overexpressed gene (TOG) domain arrays

    Stanley Nithianantham, Brian D Cook ... Jawdat Al-Bassam
    TOG (tumor overexpressed gene) domains organize then polymerize tubulins at microtubule plus ends.

    Structure of PINK1 and mechanisms of Parkinson's disease-associated mutations

    Atul Kumar, Jevgenia Tamjar ... Daan MF van Aalten
    The structure of human PINK1 explains structural regulation and clarity on the impact of loss of function disease-associated mutations, which may stimulate future drug discovery efforts for both familial and idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

    Emergence of non-canonical parvalbumin-containing interneurons in hippocampus of a murine model of type I lissencephaly

    Tyler G Ekins, Vivek Mahadevan ... Chris J McBain
    An excess of novel non-canonical subtypes of parvalbumin+ interneurons in a mouse model of classical lissencephaly, which possess non-fast-spiking physiological properties, may contribute to network hyperexcitability common in this model.
