    Mutational resilience of antiviral restriction favors primate TRIM5α in host-virus evolutionary arms races

    Jeannette L Tenthorey, Candice Young ... Harmit S Malik
    Mutations in the TRIM5α retrovirus-binding interface frequently improve but rarely disrupt retroviral restriction.

    Cytoprotection by a naturally occurring variant of ATP5G1 in Arctic ground squirrel neural progenitor cells

    Neel S Singhal, Meirong Bai ... Dengke K Ma
    A genetic basis underlying cell resilience against metabolic stress in cells of a hibernator, Arctic ground squirrels, has been discovered.

    Genetic diversity of CHC22 clathrin impacts its function in glucose metabolism

    Matteo Fumagalli, Stephane M Camus ... Frances M Brodsky
    Natural selection shaped CHC22 clathrin genetic variation in humans with different diets and potentially influenced the human insulin response.

    Skd3 (human ClpB) is a potent mitochondrial protein disaggregase that is inactivated by 3-methylglutaconic aciduria-linked mutations

    Ryan R Cupo, James Shorter
    Skd3 (human ClpB) is a potent ATP-dependent mitochondrial protein disaggregase that is activated by the rhomboid protease, PARL, and inactivated by MGCA7-linked mutations.

    Soluble PD-L1 generated by endogenous retroelement exaptation is a receptor antagonist

    Kevin W Ng, Jan Attig ... George Kassiotis
    An ancient integration of an endogenous retroelement in the gene encoding PD-L1 is exapted to generate a soluble form that antagonises the suppressive function of the membrane-bound form.

    Peroxisomal lactate dehydrogenase is generated by translational readthrough in mammals

    Fabian Schueren, Thomas Lingner ... Sven Thoms
    Whole-genome in silico screening for stop codon contexts that produce elevated translational readthrough and peroxisome targeting reveals that in mammals, the amount of lactate dehydrogenase in the peroxisome is controlled by translational readthrough.

    A paternal bias in germline mutation is widespread in amniotes and can arise independently of cell division numbers

    Marc de Manuel, Felix L Wu, Molly Przeworski
    A paternal bias in germline mutation is seen throughout amniotes and may be explained by sex differences in DNA damage and repair after primordial germ cell specification.
