    Global alignment and assessment of TRP channel transmembrane domain structures to explore functional mechanisms

    Katherine E Huffer, Antoniya A Aleksandrova ... Kenton J Swartz
    Structure-based alignment of TRP channels enables comparison of structural changes, ion permeation pathways and ligand-binding sites and reveals over-representation of structures that represent non-conducting states.

    Tyramine induces dynamic RNP granule remodeling and translation activation in the Drosophila brain

    Nadia Formicola, Marjorie Heim ... Florence Besse
    Tyramine-dependent signaling triggers decondensation of neuronal RNP components and rapid translation activation of target mRNAs.

    RNA-guided assembly of Rev-RRE nuclear export complexes

    Yun Bai, Akshay Tambe ... Jennifer A Doudna
    Tertiary folding of the Rev-response element (RRE) in HIV RNA ensures the rapid formation of the Rev-RRE viral ribonucleoprotein particle via a two-step process.

    Structures of the scanning and engaged states of the mammalian SRP-ribosome complex

    Rebecca M Voorhees, Ramanujan S Hegde
    Structures of the signal recognition particle before and after it captures a transmembrane domain suggest how it chooses, engages, and shields its clients during membrane protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum.

    A dual-target herbicidal inhibitor of lysine biosynthesis

    Emily RR Mackie, Andrew S Barrow ... Tatiana P Soares da Costa
    The first recently discovered inhibitors of lysine biosynthesis with in planta activity have a dual-target mode of action, which provides proof-of-concept for the development of multi-target ‘resistance-resistant’ herbicides with a novel mode of action.

    RNA-directed remodeling of the HIV-1 protein Rev orchestrates assembly of the Rev–Rev response element complex

    Bhargavi Jayaraman, David C Crosby ... Alan D Frankel
    A pliable hydrophobic interface in the HIV-1 Rev protein enables assembly of diverse oligomeric structures, guided by the RRE scaffold present in HIV-1 mRNAs.

    Promiscuous interactions and protein disaggregases determine the material state of stress-inducible RNP granules

    Sonja Kroschwald, Shovamayee Maharana ... Simon Alberti
    A comparison in yeast and human cells reveals a remarkable variability in the properties of RNP granules and highlights a key role for protein disaggregation machines in regulating RNP granule assembly.
    1. Evolutionary Biology

    An estimate of the deepest branches of the tree of life from ancient vertically evolving genes

    Edmund RR Moody, Tara A Mahendrarajah ... Tom A Williams
    Relatively few genes have evolved vertically from the last universal common ancestor to modern prokaryotes, and phylogenetic analysis of these genes demonstrates a great genetic distance between Archaea and Bacteria.

    Transcranial focused ultrasound to human rIFG improves response inhibition through modulation of the P300 onset latency

    Justin M Fine, Archana S Mysore ... Marco Santello
    Ultrasonic neurostimulation in humans can manipulate response inhibition related behavior and neural activity.

    Ribosome recycling is not critical for translational coupling in Escherichia coli

    Kazuki Saito, Rachel Green, Allen R Buskirk
    Without ribosome recycling factor, ribosomes in Escherichia coli accumulate in 3'-UTRs and queue upstream of stop codons, but no effects were observed on the translational coupling of neighboring genes.
