    Genetic architecture of natural variation of cardiac performance from flies to humans

    Saswati Saha, Lionel Spinelli ... Laurent Perrin
    Comprehensive genome-wide associations studies in flies identify new genes and pathways critical for heart development and function and display relevant overlap with human genetic risks related to cardiac performance.

    Apical annuli are specialised sites of post-invasion secretion of dense granules in Toxoplasma

    Sara Chelaghma, Huiling Ke ... Ross F Waller
    Apicomplexan parasites secrete proteins to manipulate their hosts from sub-apical openings in their cell pellicle that are distinct from the apical complex from where invasion factors are secreted.

    Distinct trafficking routes of polarized and non-polarized membrane cargoes in Aspergillus nidulans

    Georgia Maria Sagia, Xenia Georgiou ... Sofia Dimou
    Unconventional secretion of a plasma membrane purine transporter via Golgi-bypass is established at an early ER-associated secretory compartment revealing that specific cargoes define alternative trafficking routes.

    Hypothalamic representation of the imminence of predator threat detected by the vomeronasal organ in mice

    Quynh Anh Thi Nguyen, Andrea Rocha ... Sachiko Haga-Yamanaka
    A molecular genetics study reveals an accessory olfactory-to-hypothalamic circuit in mice that optimizes defensive behaviors according to the imminence of predator threats.

    Ripply2 recruits proteasome complex for Tbx6 degradation to define segment border during murine somitogenesis

    Wei Zhao, Masayuki Oginuma ... Yumiko Saga
    Inducing presomitic mesoderm (PSM)-fated ES cells clarified that Ripply2 directly interacts with Tbx6 and degrades Tbx6 in proteasome-ubiquitin pathway by recruiting the 26S proteasome, which is a PSM-specific event to define the segment border during mouse somitogenesis.

    Vitamin B2 enables regulation of fasting glucose availability

    Peter M Masschelin, Pradip Saha ... Sean M Hartig
    The dietary vitamin riboflavin provides the chemical backbone to generate essential substrates that support liver glucose metabolism during low-nutrient conditions.

    Mechanism of cargo-directed Atg8 conjugation during selective autophagy

    Dorotea Fracchiolla, Justyna Sawa-Makarska ... Sascha Martens
    Autophagic cargo receptors recruit the E3-like enzyme for Atg8 lipid conjugation to the cargo and thereby promote local formation of Atg8-positive autophagosomal membranes.

    A local ATR-dependent checkpoint pathway is activated by a site-specific replication fork block in human cells

    Sana Ahmed-Seghir, Manisha Jalan ... Simon N Powell
    Cells exhibit a localized ATR-dependent DNA damage response to a site-specific stalled replication fork that is distinct from that observed after global replication stress.

    Distinct functions of three Wnt proteins control mirror-symmetric organogenesis in the C. elegans gonad

    Shuhei So, Masayo Asakawa, Hitoshi Sawa
    The mirror-symmetric structure of the Caenorhabditis elegans gonad is established through the Wnt-independent function of a Frizzled protein and three Wnt proteins with distinct roles.

    Functional abnormalities in the cerebello-thalamic pathways in a mouse model of DYT25 dystonia

    Hind Baba Aïssa, Romain W Sala ... Daniela Popa
    In a mouse model of DYT25 dystonia with disruption of striatal neurotransmission by Gnal mutation, the cerebello-thalamic excitability is increased following symptom expression and θ-burst cerebellar stimulations during cholinergic-induced dystonia depress the cerebello-thalamic transmission and reduce the motor symptom severity.
