    FRMD8 promotes inflammatory and growth factor signalling by stabilising the iRhom/ADAM17 sheddase complex

    Ulrike Künzel, Adam Graham Grieve ... Matthew Freeman
    The protein FRMD8 binds to iRhom and thereby stabilises the iRhom/ADAM17 complex, which is the primary trigger of inflammatory signalling.

    Autophagosome development and chloroplast segmentation occur synchronously for piecemeal degradation of chloroplasts

    Masanori Izumi, Sakuya Nakamura ... Shinya Hagihara
    A plant autophagy pathway transports chloroplast stroma and envelope components into the vacuole through the division and encapsulation of the site of chloroplasts that is associated with developing autophagosome.

    Algal-fungal symbiosis leads to photosynthetic mycelium

    Zhi-Yan Du, Krzysztof Zienkiewicz ... Gregory M Bonito
    The capacity for symbiosis between photosynthetic microalgae and early diverging lineages fungi was demonstrated with microscopy and stable isotope exchange of carbon and nitrogen.

    Guanidine hydrochloride reactivates an ancient septin hetero-oligomer assembly pathway in budding yeast

    Courtney R Johnson, Marc G Steingesser ... Michael A McMurray
    A naturally-occurring small molecule acts as a chemical chaperone in vivo to alter the folding of a budding yeast septin and promote an oligomerization pathway that was lost during evolution.

    Nanos promotes epigenetic reprograming of the germline by down-regulation of the THAP transcription factor LIN-15B

    Chih-Yung Sean Lee, Tu Lu, Geraldine Seydoux
    Nanos is required for germline specification by erasure of maternal program in primordial germ cells.

    A phase transition enhances the catalytic activity of SARM1, an NAD+ glycohydrolase involved in neurodegeneration

    Heather S Loring, Victoria L Czech ... Paul R Thompson
    The catalytic activity of SARM1, a key promoter of neuronal degeneration, is activated by >2000-fold by a phase transition.

    Inter-membrane association of the Sec and BAM translocons for bacterial outer-membrane biogenesis

    Sara Alvira, Daniel W Watkins ... Ian Collinson
    The protein translocation apparatus of the inner- (Sec) and outer-membrane (BAM) interact to form a trans-periplasmic super-complex capable of long-range, PMF-dependent conformational changes to facilitate efficient outer-membrane protein maturation.

    Ion counting demonstrates a high electrostatic field generated by the nucleosome

    Magdalena Gebala, Stephanie L Johnson ... Dan Herschlag
    First experimental studies on the ion atmosphere around a nucleosome provide a quantitative analysis of the molecule's electrostatic properties.

    Natural variation reveals that intracellular distribution of ELF3 protein is associated with function in the circadian clock

    Muhammad Usman Anwer, Eleni Boikoglou ... Seth Jon Davis
    In Arabidopsis, a natural variant of the ELF3 protein, which originated in Central Asia, is less likely to accumulate in the nucleus, and causes the circadian clock to run faster and be less responsive to environmental cues.

    Determining the scale at which variation in a single gene changes population yields

    Erica McGale, Henrique Valim ... Ian T Baldwin
    Variation in the gene NaMPK4 in plant populations increases reproductive yield, an effect which appears to be independent of soil water availability, neighbor-scale interactions and associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
