    Investigating the trade-off between folding and function in a multidomain Y-family DNA polymerase

    Xiakun Chu, Zucai Suo, Jin Wang
    The physical interaction network encoded in the multi-domain protein native structure handles the trade-off between the fast, stable folding and the efficient, reliable function.

    Reverse evolution leads to genotypic incompatibility despite functional and active site convergence

    Miriam Kaltenbach, Colin J Jackson ... Nobuhiko Tokuriki
    Enzyme evolution is reversible on a structural and functional (phenotypic) level, but through a different mutational pathway that leads to genotypic incompatibility with the ancestor.

    Estimating the potential to prevent locally acquired HIV infections in a UNAIDS Fast-Track City, Amsterdam

    Alexandra Blenkinsop, Mélodie Monod ... Oliver Ratmann
    Phylogenetic evidence suggests that the majority of HIV infections occurring in the UNAIDS Fast-track city Amsterdam continue to have an Amsterdam resident as source, indicating that the majority of HIV infections in Amsterdam could be prevented through city-level interventions.

    Competitive binding of STATs to receptor phospho-Tyr motifs accounts for altered cytokine responses

    Stephan Wilmes, Polly-Anne Jeffrey ... Ignacio Moraga
    IL-27 exerts differential activation of STAT1 and STAT3 via IL-27Ra and GP130, respectively, leading to a kinetic decoupling of its gene expression program, which contributes to tune its immuno-modulatory activities.

    Metal microdrive and head cap system for silicon probe recovery in freely moving rodent

    Mihály Vöröslakos, Peter C Petersen ... György Buzsáki
    A reusable system of 3D printed stainless steel microdrive and plastic head cap allows stable recording of electrophysiological data in mice and rats and easy recovery of silicon probes.

    A positive-feedback-based mechanism for constriction rate acceleration during cytokinesis in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Renat N Khaliullin, Rebecca A Green ... Karen Oegema
    Positive feedback between contractile ring myosin and compression-driven cortical flow can explain the exponential accumulation of contractile ring components and constriction rate acceleration that ensures timely cell separation during cytokinesis.

    A causal role for right frontopolar cortex in directed, but not random, exploration

    Wojciech K Zajkowski, Malgorzata Kossut, Robert C Wilson
    Disruption of right frontopolar cortex with transcranial magnetic stimulation causes selective deficits in exploratory behavior suggesting that different strategies of exploration are implemented by different neural circuits.

    Target protein identification in live cells and organisms with a non-diffusive proximity tagging system

    Yingjie Sun, Changheng Li ... Youngnam N Jin
    Pup-On-target for Small molecule Target Identification Technology, POST-IT, is a revolutionary tool for accurately identifying protein targets of bioactive molecules in living cells and organisms, successfully identifying SEPHS2 and VPS37C as targets for dasatinib and hydroxychloroquine, respectively.

    Molecular function limits divergent protein evolution on planetary timescales

    Mariam M Konaté, Germán Plata ... Dennis Vitkup
    Orthologous proteins that continuously maintain the same molecular function do not usually diverge beyond a certain level of sequence and structural similarity.
