    Recombinant origin and interspecies transmission of a HERV-K(HML-2)-related primate retrovirus with a novel RNA transport element

    Zachary H Williams, Alvaro Dafonte Imedio ... Welkin E Johnson
    The genetic 'fossil record' of a retroviral lineage over >25 million years of evolution reveals the profound consequences of an ancient recombination event on viral replication mechanisms and genome structure, and identifies an ancient interspecies viral transmission.

    Structural basis for potent and broad inhibition of HIV-1 RT by thiophene[3,2-d]pyrimidine non-nucleoside inhibitors

    Yang Yang, Dongwei Kang ... Thomas A Steitz
    High-resolution structures of HIV-1 RT in complex with two newly developed non-nucleoside inhibitors explain how they retain antiviral activities against drug-resistant RT mutants with considerably reduced susceptibility to rilpivirine.

    Gating and selectivity mechanisms for the lysosomal K+ channel TMEM175

    SeCheol Oh, Navid Paknejad, Richard K Hite
    Structures of the non-canonical potassium channel TMEM175 in open and closed states reveal unique mechanisms for channel gating and the selective permeation of K+ ions.

    Molecular structures of the human Slo1 K+ channel in complex with β4

    Xiao Tao, Roderick MacKinnon
    The structures of Slo1 in complex with b4 imply that the auxiliary beta subunits modulate the channel's gating properties through stabilizing ‘pre-existing’ conformations rather than creating new ones.

    Cryo-EM structure of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel illuminates mechanisms of assembly and gating

    Gregory M Martin, Craig Yoshioka ... Show-Ling Shyng
    Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy reveals the first subnanometer structure of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, which provides insight into the structural mechanisms of channel assembly and gating.

    Methylation of RNA polymerase II non-consensus Lysine residues marks early transcription in mammalian cells

    João D Dias, Tiago Rito ... Ana Pombo
    Lysine mono- and di-methylation are two novel post-translational modifications of RNA polymerase II, which are enriched at promoters of active genes, precede lysine acetylation and mark early stages of transcription.

    The potassium channel subunit KV1.8 (Kcna10) is essential for the distinctive outwardly rectifying conductances of type I and II vestibular hair cells

    Hannah R Martin, Anna Lysakowski, Ruth Anne Eatock
    A striking and consequential conductance in vestibular type I hair cells is finally shown to depend on a little-known Shaker subunit that contributes to conventional conductances in other hair cells.

    Fluctuations of the transcription factor ATML1 generate the pattern of giant cells in the Arabidopsis sepal

    Heather M Meyer, José Teles ... Adrienne H K Roeder
    Fluctuations of a transcription factor that coincide with the G2 phase of the cell cycle pattern two interspersed cell fates in a multicellular system.

    Myomatrix arrays for high-definition muscle recording

    Bryce Chung, Muneeb Zia ... Samuel J Sober
    A novel technology for recording muscle activity provides unprecedented access to the electrical signals that control the body across muscles, species, and behaviors.

    Phosphoproteomics reveals that Parkinson's disease kinase LRRK2 regulates a subset of Rab GTPases

    Martin Steger, Francesca Tonelli ... Matthias Mann
    Discovery of a physiological LRRK2 substrate and a new mechanism of Rab regulation should aid Parkinson’s research and the understanding of Rab function.
