    Gene age shapes the transcriptional landscape of sexual morphogenesis in mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes)

    Zsolt Merényi, Máté Virágh ... László G Nagy
    Allele-specific expression, natural antisense transcripts, and developmental gene expression, but not RNA editing or developmental hourglass, act in concert to shape the transcriptome during the fruiting body formation of complex multicellular fungi.

    Modeling the metabolic interplay between a parasitic worm and its bacterial endosymbiont allows the identification of novel drug targets

    David M Curran, Alexandra Grote ... John Parkinson
    A genome scale model of Brugia malayi metabolism illustrates a dynamic reliance on energy production pathways across its life cycle and identifies new drugs with experimentally supported anti-parasitic properties.

    α1-Adrenergic receptor–PKC–Pyk2–Src signaling boosts L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 activity and long-term potentiation in rodents

    Kwun Nok Mimi Man, Peter Bartels ... Johannes W Hell
    The α1-adrenergic receptor augments the activity of the L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 through PKC and the tyrosine kinases Pyk2 and Src and thereby synaptic plasticity.

    Fatal amyloid formation in a patient’s antibody light chain is caused by a single point mutation

    Pamina Kazman, Marie-Theres Vielberg ... Johannes Buchner
    Identifying the patient-specific mutation that shifted the antibody light chain to the deadly fibrillar species provides new insight in the molecular pathogenesis of AL amyloidosis.

    Molecular basis for allosteric specificity regulation in class Ia ribonucleotide reductase from Escherichia coli

    Christina M Zimanyi, Percival Yang-Ting Chen ... Catherine L Drennan
    Substrate and effector bound structures of a bacterial ribonucleotide reductase reveal the molecular basis by which substrate preference is modulated by a distal site on the enzyme.

    Extracellular electron transfer increases fermentation in lactic acid bacteria via a hybrid metabolism

    Sara Tejedor-Sanz, Eric T Stevens ... Maria L Marco
    Lactic acid bacteria engage a hybrid metabolism which blends features of fermentation and respiration when they perform extracellular electron transfer.

    TBP/TFIID-dependent activation of MyoD target genes in skeletal muscle cells

    Barbora Malecova, Alessandra Dall'Agnese ... Pier Lorenzo Puri
    Genetic and biochemical evidence shows that the basal transcription machinery of muscle cells invariably relies on TBP/TFIID because TBP2 is not expressed in muscle cells, and thus resolves a longstanding issue raised by previous conflicting data.

    Mesenchymal stromal cell aging impairs the self-organizing capacity of lung alveolar epithelial stem cells

    Diptiman Chanda, Mohammad Rehan ... Victor J Thannickal
    Lung stem cell niche aging is associated with altered bioenergetics, metabolic dysfunction, and senescence of mesenchymal stromal cells that restricts 3D organoid, or alveolosphere formation, potentially accounting for reduced regenerative capacity with aging.

    Genomic evidence for global ocean plankton biogeography shaped by large-scale current systems

    Daniel J Richter, Romain Watteaux ... Olivier Jaillon
    Analysis of genomic DNA composition of surface plankton communities reveals a stable, ocean basin-scale plankton biogeography that emerges from the intertwined effects of environmental variations and currents.

    Resilience of small intestinal beneficial bacteria to the toxicity of soybean oil fatty acids

    Sara C Di Rienzi, Juliet Jacobson ... Ruth E Ley
    Comparisons between lactobacilli bacteria in the small intestine and those evolved in the lab reveal several modes of resistance to toxic fatty acids.
