    Direct binding of phosphatidylglycerol at specific sites modulates desensitization of a ligand-gated ion channel

    Ailing Tong, John T Petroff II ... Wayland WL Cheng
    Phosphatidylglycerol binding at multiple sites stabilizes the open state relative to the desensitized state of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel.

    A critical re-evaluation of fMRI signatures of motor sequence learning

    Eva Berlot, Nicola J Popp, Jörn Diedrichsen
    A systematic assessment of previously proposed fMRI metrics of motor sequence learning reveals widespread activity reductions and subtle multivariate pattern changes outside of primary motor cortex.

    Modularity and determinants of a (bi-)polarization control system from free-living and obligate intracellular bacteria

    Matthieu Bergé, Sébastien Campagne ... Patrick H Viollier
    Common ancestries, activities and structural determinants of a modular (bi-)polarization control system encoded in free-living and obligate intracellular α-proteobacteria, including the rickettsial pathogens, are described.

    The P2X7 receptor forms a dye-permeable pore independent of its intracellular domain but dependent on membrane lipid composition

    Akira Karasawa, Kevin Michalski ... Toshimitsu Kawate
    Functional reconstitution of a mammalian P2X7 receptor uncovers an intrinsic and lipid-dependent dye-permeable membrane pore.

    Protection of nascent DNA at stalled replication forks is mediated by phosphorylation of RIF1 intrinsically disordered region

    Sandhya Balasubramanian, Matteo Andreani ... Michela Di Virgilio
    Replication stress induces phosphorylation events within RIF1 intrinsically disordered region that are essential for RIF1's role in DNA replication fork protection.

    A novel Drosophila injury model reveals severed axons are cleared through a Draper/MMP-1 signaling cascade

    Maria D Purice, Arpita Ray ... Mary A Logan
    An unbiased transcriptional profiling screen reveals the secreted matrix metalloproteinase MMP-1 is a transcriptional target of the ensheathing glial receptor Draper following acute axon injury in adult Drosophila.

    Neurexin and Neuroligin-based adhesion complexes drive axonal arborisation growth independent of synaptic activity

    William D Constance, Amrita Mukherjee ... Darren W Williams
    Axonal arborisation growth is regulated by dynamic, focal localisations of Neurexin and Neuroligin that provide stability for filopodia, enabling a 'stick and grow'-based mechanism, wholly independent of synapse formation.

    Human embryoid bodies as a novel system for genomic studies of functionally diverse cell types

    Katherine Rhodes, Kenneth A Barr ... Yoav Gilad
    Embryoid bodies produce diverse cell types and can enable the study of gene regulatory dynamics at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution.

    Effect of helical kink in antimicrobial peptides on membrane pore formation

    Alzbeta Tuerkova, Ivo Kabelka ... Robert Vácha
    Proline/glycine kink in the helical peptides affects the peptide ability to form membrane pores by stabilising toroidal pore structures but disrupting barrel-stave pore structures.
