    Direct observation of frequency modulated transcription in single cells using light activation

    Daniel R Larson, Christoph Fritzsch ... Robert H Singer
    Steroid hormone receptors control the expression of their target genes through a digital on-off switch in individual cells, which leads to an analogue dose-response relationship at the level of the whole organism.

    Crotamiton derivative JM03 extends lifespan and improves oxidative and hypertonic stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans via inhibiting OSM-9

    Keting Bao, Wenwen Liu ... Jian Li
    In a chemical genetics study, JM03 derived from crotamiton, an inhibitor of trainsient receptor potential vanilloid-4 channels, was identified to extend lifespan and improve oxidative and hypertonic stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans via inhibiting OSM-9.

    Development of antibacterial compounds that constrain evolutionary pathways to resistance

    Yanmin Zhang, Sourav Chowdhury ... Eugene Shakhnovich
    Integrated multi-scale, multi-tool approach to design novel 'evolution drugs' which can delay the emergence of antibiotic resistance by constraining bacterial evolutionary escape strategies.

    Specific Eph receptor-cytoplasmic effector signaling mediated by SAM–SAM domain interactions

    Yue Wang, Yuan Shang ... Mingjie Zhang
    Comparative structural studies reveal how the cytoplasmic tails of Eph receptors can differentiate different downstream target proteins via highly specific SAM–SAM domain interactions.

    A sulfur-aromatic gate latch is essential for opening of the Orai1 channel pore

    Priscilla S-W Yeung, Christopher E Ing ... Murali Prakriya
    Electrophysiological and molecular modeling studies identify a sulfur-aromatic interaction between the hydrophobic channel gate and a nearby methionine residue, termed the "gate latch", which is essential for Orai1 pore opening.

    Targeting RNA:protein interactions with an integrative approach leads to the identification of potent YBX1 inhibitors

    Krystel El Hage, Nicolas Babault ... David Pastré
    The development of an integrative computational-experimental approach for identifying small molecules that can disrupt RNA:protein interactions in vitro and in cells led to the identification of several inhibitors of YBX1 in the micromolar range, including a previously approved drug.

    7,8-Dihydroxyflavone modulates bone formation and resorption and ameliorates ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis

    Fan Xue, Zhenlei Zhao ... Ying Zhang
    In vitro and in vivo studies highlight the dual regulatory effects that 7,8-dihydroxyflavone exerts on bone formation and resorption.

    The αC-β4 loop controls the allosteric cooperativity between nucleotide and substrate in the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A

    Cristina Olivieri, Yingjie Wang ... Gianluigi Veglia
    The αC-β4 loop emerges as a hot spot for tuning allosteric cooperativity in the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A.

    Sequential replacement of PSD95 subunits in postsynaptic supercomplexes is slowest in the cortex

    Katie Morris, Edita Bulovaite ... Mathew H Horrocks
    PSD95 supercomplexes maintain long-term stability through gradual subunit replacement, with the slowest turnover in cortical synapses associated with memory storage.
