    The novel SH3 domain protein Dlish/CG10933 mediates fat signaling in Drosophila by binding and regulating Dachs

    Yifei Zhang, Xing Wang ... Seth S Blair
    The Fat-regulated scaffolding protein Dlish controls the activity, levels and cortical localization of Warts-inhibiting myosin Dachs by linking Dachs to a critical Dachs regulator, the DHHC palmitoyltransferase Approximated, and to the Fat-mediated regulation of Dachs stability.

    Firefly genomes illuminate parallel origins of bioluminescence in beetles

    Timothy R Fallon, Sarah E Lower ... Jing-Ke Weng
    The first genomic view of beetle luciferase evolution indicates evolutionary independence of luciferase between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide valuable datasets which will accelerate the discovery of new biotechnological tools.

    Symbiont-mediated cytoplasmic incompatibility: What have we learned in 50 years?

    J Dylan Shropshire, Brittany Leigh, Seth R Bordenstein
    This review serves as a gateway to experimental, conceptual, and quantitative themes of cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) and outlines significant gaps in the understanding of CI's mechanism that are ripe for investigation.

    Antibacterial gene transfer across the tree of life

    Jason A Metcalf, Lisa J Funkhouser-Jones ... Seth R Bordenstein
    Parallel horizontal gene transfer has spread a bacteriolytic gene family to all domains of life, and has bestowed a niche-transcending adaptation in recipients that must deploy antibacterial molecules to survive in a bacterial world.

    Fat2 polarizes the WAVE complex in trans to align cell protrusions for collective migration

    Audrey Miller Williams, Seth Donoughe ... Sally Horne-Badovinac
    Fat2 signals from the trailing edge of each cell to localize WAVE activity to the leading edge of the cell behind, polarizing protrusive regions within cells and across the epithelium.

    E. coli TraR allosterically regulates transcription initiation by altering RNA polymerase conformation

    James Chen, Saumya Gopalkrishnan ... Seth A Darst
    Cryo-electron microscopy structures, combined with biochemical experiments, show how the E. coli F element-encoded TraR protein regulates transcription initiation by altering RNA polymerase conformation and conformational heterogeneity.

    MeCP2 regulates Tet1-catalyzed demethylation, CTCF binding, and learning-dependent alternative splicing of the BDNF gene in Turtle

    Zhaoqing Zheng, Ganesh Ambigapathy, Joyce Keifer
    Loss of MeCP2 function negatively impacts Tet1 and CTCF binding thereby negatively impacting learning-dependent DNA methylation and alternative splicing regulation.
