    Transcriptomic and proteomic landscape of mitochondrial dysfunction reveals secondary coenzyme Q deficiency in mammals

    Inge Kühl, Maria Miranda ... Nils-Göran Larsson
    Comparative -omic analyses of five knockout mouse strains with disrupted mitochondrial DNA expression at different levels provide a high quality resource of altered gene expression patterns that reveal several common secondary patophysiological changes of mitochondrial dysfunction.

    Deep evolutionary origin of gamete-directed zygote activation by KNOX/BELL transcription factors in green plants

    Tetsuya Hisanaga, Shota Fujimoto ... Keiji Nakajima
    Gamete-derived three-amino-acid-loop-extension homeodomain proteins activate zygote development in a strikingly similar manner between basal land plants and green algae, indicating an ancestral role of these transcription factors in green plants.

    Use of signals of positive and negative selection to distinguish cancer genes and passenger genes

    László Bányai, Maria Trexler ... László Patthy
    In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.

    Monitoring site-specific conformational changes in real-time reveals a misfolding mechanism of the prion protein

    Ishita Sengupta, Jayant Udgaonkar
    Multi-site FRET measurements of moPrP oligomerization at low pH indicate that major conformational changes take place as monomers reversibly transform into large oligomers, which subsequently disassemble reversibly into small oligomers.

    Quantifying the contribution of Plasmodium falciparum malaria to febrile illness amongst African children

    Ursula Dalrymple, Ewan Cameron ... Peter W Gething
    Fevers amongst African children are often assumed to be caused by a malaria infection, but here it is estimated that the majority of fevers amongst African children, including those with a patent malaria infection, are due to infections with diseases other than malaria.

    Neuronal regulated ire-1-dependent mRNA decay controls germline differentiation in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Mor Levi-Ferber, Rewayd Shalash ... Sivan Henis-Korenblit
    Neuronal circuits can be disrupted by ire-1-dependent mRNA decay to affect germline tumor cell identity by regulating cross-tissue communication in Caenorhabditis elegans.

    100 years of anthropogenic impact causes changes in freshwater functional biodiversity

    Niamh Eastwood, Jiarui Zhou ... Luisa Orsini
    High-throughput systemic approaches on long-term trends identify the environmental factors that cause loss of biodiversity and disrupt ecosystem functions.

    A nuclear role for the DEAD-box protein Dbp5 in tRNA export

    Azra Lari, Arvind Arul Nambi Rajan ... Ben Montpetit
    Within the nucleus, Dbp5p supports tRNA export providing a parallel mechanism by which this conserved DEAD-box protein functions to support eukaryotic gene expression.

    Population-based sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis reveals how current population dynamics are shaped by past epidemics

    Irving Cancino-Muñoz, Mariana G López ... Iñaki Comas
    Low-burden does not mean low local transmission, and tailor-made strategies are needed to control TB based on the knowledge of the local transmission dynamics.

    Proteostasis collapse, a hallmark of aging, hinders the chaperone-Start network and arrests cells in G1

    David F Moreno, Kirsten Jenkins ... Martí Aldea
    Cells accumulate damaged proteins during aging and, by compromising the function of chaperones in folding newly synthesized G1 cyclins, proteostasis breakdown inhibits cell-cycle entry and drives yeast cells into senescence.
