    Asymmetric activation mechanism of a homodimeric red light-regulated photoreceptor

    Geoffrey Gourinchas, Udo Heintz, Andreas Winkler
    Molecular insights to phytochrome activation and signal transduction over long distances enable the allosteric regulation of enzymatic effectors.

    Control of Arabidopsis shoot stem cell homeostasis by two antagonistic CLE peptide signalling pathways

    Jenia Schlegel, Gregoire Denay ... Rüdiger GW Simon
    Plant meristem size and shape is controlled by two intertwined regional feedback signals that are mediated by secreted peptides.

    Structure and mechanism of a phage-encoded SAM lyase revises catalytic function of enzyme family

    Xiaohu Guo, Annika Söderholm ... Maria Selmer
    The first structure of a bacteriophage-encoded S-adenosyl methionine degrading enzyme was solved and demonstrated to catalyze a unimolecular lyase reaction occurring at the domain interface of a trimeric structure.

    IgM and IgD B cell receptors differentially respond to endogenous antigens and control B cell fate

    Mark Noviski, James L Mueller ... Julie Zikherman
    Self-reactive B cells downregulate the IgM but not the IgD B cell receptor, and this serves as a critical tolerance mechanism because IgD is less sensitive to bona fide endogenous antigens than IgM.

    Perception of a conserved family of plant signalling peptides by the receptor kinase HSL3

    Jack Rhodes, Andra-Octavia Roman ... Cyril Zipfel
    Identification of a new family of stress-induced plant signalling peptides and their cognate receptor.

    Rewiring of liver diurnal transcriptome rhythms by triiodothyronine (T3) supplementation

    Leonardo Vinicius Monteiro de Assis, Lisbeth Harder ... Henrik Oster
    High triiodothyronine levels lead to a broad rewiring of the liver transcriptome, which mostly occurs downstream of the liver clock machinery itself, thus suggesting that daytime critically affects thyroid hormone action in the liver.

    Left-right side-specific endocrine signaling complements neural pathways to mediate acute asymmetric effects of brain injury

    Nikolay Lukoyanov, Hiroyuki Watanabe ... Georgy Bakalkin
    In addition to the well-established involvement of descending neural tracts, the left-right side-specific endocrine mechanism may contribute to signaling from injured brain to spinal motor circuits.

    Common coupling map advances GPCR-G protein selectivity

    Alexander S Hauser, Charlotte Avet ... David E Gloriam
    The GPCR-G protein coupling map and selectivity insights will catalyze advances in receptor research, cellular signaling, and drug discovery exploiting G protein signaling bias to design safer drugs.

    Noradrenaline release from the locus coeruleus shapes stress-induced hippocampal gene expression

    Mattia Privitera, Lukas M von Ziegler ... Johannes Bohacek
    Targeted manipulation of the locus coeruleus noradrenaline circuitry combined with extensive transcriptomic analyses in the mouse hippocampus reveal a unique set of noradrenaline-dependent, stress-related genes and point to astrocytic engagement.

    The Arabidopsis SHORTROOT network coordinates shoot apical meristem development with auxin-dependent lateral organ initiation

    Elmehdi Bahafid, Imke Bradtmöller ... Rüdiger GW Simon
    Mutant and gene expression analyses shows that phytohormones and mobile transcription factors interact to coordinate organ formation with stem cell maintenance in the plant shoot meristem.
