The crystal structure of human Holliday junction resolvase GEN1 in complex with DNA reveals a conserved chromodomain as an additional DNA-anchoring point that opens new perspectives for enzyme regulation.

The transcriptional cofactor HPK-1 (homeodomain-interacting protein kinase) functions as a key regulator of multiple proteostatic stress responses, each originating from discrete neuronal subtypes within the Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system to preserve neuronal health and maintain organismal proteostasis during normal aging.

Dorsal raphe Pet1 neurons are molecularly heterogeneous, comprising as many as fourteen distinct subtypes that show biased cell body distributions across dorsal raphe subdomains.
A computational method has been developed for predicting the cell-type-specific binding of transcription factors to nucleosomes, and involves integration of ChIP-seq, MNase-seq, and DNase-seq data with details of nucleosome structure.

Integrated biophysical, structural, and in-cell approaches demonstrate a non-canonical and non-isomerizable binding motif-dependent mode of protein kinase C regulation by the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1 in mammalian cells.
Unlike humans and starlings which use memories of both absolute and relative information to decide between options in novel contexts, bumblebees rely only on the remembered ordinal ranking of options.
The polarized orientation of the mitotic spindle in budding yeast arises from spindle pole structural and functional asymmetry subject to cell cycle control.
For the first time, high-frequency terahertz stimulation is shown to effectively alleviate chronic pain symptoms in mice by regulating neuronal activity in the cortex.
