    Hepatic inactivation of murine Surf4 results in marked reduction in plasma cholesterol

    Vi T Tang, Joseph McCormick ... David Ginsburg
    Inactivation of SURF4 leads to impaired secretion of PCSK9 and apolipoproteins resulting in low plasma cholesterol without detrimental consequences to the liver.

    The cargo receptor SURF4 promotes the efficient cellular secretion of PCSK9

    Brian T Emmer, Geoffrey G Hesketh ... David Ginsburg
    A CRISPR-based genomic screen identifies the ER cargo receptor SURF4 as a key determinant in the secretion of PCSK9, a protein that regulates human cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease risk.

    Glycolytic preconditioning in astrocytes mitigates trauma-induced neurodegeneration

    Rene Solano Fonseca, Patrick Metang ... Peter M Douglas
    Promoting a Warburg-like shift in astrocytic metabolism through reduced mitochondrial electron transport accommodates the energetic burden caused by brain trauma without overwhelming cellular respiration and redox to salvage dopaminergic neurons.

    Cell-surface tethered promiscuous biotinylators enable comparative small-scale surface proteomic analysis of human extracellular vesicles and cells

    Lisa L Kirkemo, Susanna K Elledge ... James A Wells
    Enzyme tethering of promiscuous biotinylators to the cell surface allows for more rapid and efficient comparative surface proteomic analysis of cells and extracellular vesicles.

    A human ESC-based screen identifies a role for the translated lncRNA LINC00261 in pancreatic endocrine differentiation

    Bjoern Gaertner, Sebastiaan van Heesch ... Maike Sander
    Ribosome profiling and loss-of-function during human ESC pancreatic differentiation reveal abundant lncRNA translation and an essential role for translated LINC00261 in beta cell differentiation, likely through a trans-regulatory, microprotein-independent mechanism.

    High hedgehog signaling is transduced by a multikinase-dependent switch controlling the apico-basal distribution of the GPCR smoothened

    Marina Gonçalves Antunes, Matthieu Sanial ... Isabelle Becam
    Hedgehog leads to Smoothened accumulation by favoring its recycling and high Hedgehog levels promote a basolateral enrichment of Smoothened via its phosphorylation by the protein kinase Fused.

    Drainage of inflammatory macromolecules from the brain to periphery targets the liver for macrophage infiltration

    Linlin Yang, Jessica A Jiménez ... Celia E Shiau
    Circulation of molecules from the brain can serve as a rapid mode of communication from the brain to the liver.

    Behavioral evidence for memory replay of video episodes in the macaque

    Shuzhen Zuo, Lei Wang ... Sze Chai Kwok
    Macaque monkeys temporally compress past experiences and use a forward-replay mechanism during judgment of temporal-order between episodes.

    Spatiotemporal establishment of dense bacterial colonies growing on hard agar

    Mya R Warren, Hui Sun ... Terence Hwa
    A 3D model captures the growth and expansion dynamics of bacterial colonies, revealing distinct effects of surface tension, mechanical forces, and nutrients on the speed of radial and vertical expansion.

    Structural intermediates observed only in intact Escherichia coli indicate a mechanism for TonB-dependent transport

    Thushani D Nilaweera, David A Nyenhuis, David S Cafiso
    Pulse electron paramagnetic resonance on intact Escherichia coli reveals a substrate-induced structural transition in BtuB, the vitamin B12 transporter, which is not seen in reconstituted membranes and indicates a mechanism of transport.
