    Heterogeneity of the GFP fitness landscape and data-driven protein design

    Louisa Gonzalez Somermeyer, Aubin Fleiss ... Fyodor A Kondrashov
    Orthologous proteins display different mutational robustness that can be leveraged to improve prediction of functional sequences.

    A deleterious Nav1.1 mutation selectively impairs telencephalic inhibitory neurons derived from Dravet Syndrome patients

    Yishan Sun, Sergiu P Paşca ... Ricardo E Dolmetsch
    A human cellular model of a prototypical form of intractable childhood epilepsy supports selective impairment of inhibitory neurons as a key pathophysiological mechanism.

    APOE expression and secretion are modulated by mitochondrial dysfunction

    Meghan E Wynne, Oluwaseun Ogunbona ... Victor Faundez
    Current models of Alzheimer's disease that put mitochondria as an endpoint of disease should be reconsidered because genetic defects affecting mitochondria by themselves can also regulate Alzheimer’s disease risk factor apolipoprotein E (APOE) expression and secretion.

    LUZP1, a novel regulator of primary cilia and the actin cytoskeleton, is a contributing factor in Townes-Brocks Syndrome

    Laura Bozal-Basterra, María Gonzalez-Santamarta ... Rosa Barrio
    LUZP1 is required for proper cilia and cytoskeleton formation.

    Drep-2 is a novel synaptic protein important for learning and memory

    Till F M Andlauer, Sabrina Scholz-Kornehl ... Stephan J Sigrist
    Drep-2 is the first representative of the evolutionary conserved CIDE-N protein family found at synapses and is required for associative learning by functionally intersecting with metabotropic signaling.

    Stable antibiotic resistance and rapid human adaptation in livestock-associated MRSA

    Marta Matuszewska, Gemma GR Murray ... Lucy A Weinert
    The dominant MRSA circulating in European livestock has stably maintained genes associated with resistance to antibiotic treatments over several decades and when it is transmitted to humans it can rapidly acquire genes that allow it to evade human immune responses.

    RAL GTPases mediate EGFR-driven intestinal stem cell proliferation and tumourigenesis

    Máté Nászai, Karen Bellec ... Julia B Cordero
    Combined genetic experiments and cellular trafficking assays in Drosophila and mammalian models uncover a new role of RAS-like GTPases in EGFR signalling activation during tissue regeneration and tumourigenesis through regulation of EGFR internalisation.

    Particle foraging strategies promote microbial diversity in marine environments

    Ali Ebrahimi, Akshit Goyal, Otto X Cordero
    An ecological trade-off between growth and death enables microbes with different dispersal strategies to coexist on particulate matter in the oceans.

    Arnold tongue entrainment reveals dynamical principles of the embryonic segmentation clock

    Paul Gerald Layague Sanchez, Victoria Mochulska ... Alexander Aulehla
    A microfluidic experimental approach combined with dynamical systems theory reveals how to entrain an embryonic oscillator, the segmentation clock, and allows for the quantification of its entrainment properties.

    CEP78 functions downstream of CEP350 to control biogenesis of primary cilia by negatively regulating CP110 levels

    André Brás Gonçalves, Sarah Kirstine Hasselbalch ... Lotte Bang Pedersen
    Analysis of mutant cells combined with biochemical experiments reveals that CEP78 is recruited to the centrosome by CEP350 and regulates ciliogenesis and ciliary length control through CP110-dependent and CP110-independent mechanisms, respectively.
