    Degradation of engulfed mitochondria is rate-limiting in Optineurin-mediated mitophagy in neurons

    Chantell S Evans, Erika LF Holzbaur
    In neuronal mitophagy, Parkin and OPTN induce efficient sequestration of damaged somal mitochondria into autophagosomes, but slow turnover via lysosomal acidification may be a point of vulnerability for the cell.

    Dual mode of embryonic development is highlighted by expression and function of Nasonia pair-rule genes

    Miriam I Rosenberg, Ava E Brent ... Claude Desplan
    Pair-rule genes in the wasp Nasonia function as in Drosophila in patterning anterior segments, and similar to ancestral insects in patterning posterior segments, illustrating a mixed-mode transition state between short and long germ embryogenesis.

    Human T cell receptor occurrence patterns encode immune history, genetic background, and receptor specificity

    William S DeWitt III, Anajane Smith ... Philip Bradley
    An analysis of T cell receptor occurrence patterns that accounts for MHC restriction reveals striking imprints of common viral pathogens and patterns of TCR-HLA sequence covariation in a large human cohort.

    Sensory conflict disrupts circadian rhythms in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis

    Cory A Berger, Ann M Tarrant
    Misalignment between light and temperature cycles leads to disrupted circadian behavior and a substantially altered rhythmic transcriptome.

    Polo-like kinase acts as a molecular timer that safeguards the asymmetric fate of spindle microtubule-organizing centers

    Laura Matellán, Javier Manzano-López, Fernando Monje-Casas
    Molecular and cell biology analyses reveal novel roles of Polo-like kinases in establishing non-random segregation patterns of spindle-associated microtubule-organizing centers during mitosis, a phenomenon linked with replicative cell aging.

    Transcriptional and epigenomic landscapes of CNS and non-CNS vascular endothelial cells

    Mark F Sabbagh, Jacob S Heng ... Jeremy Nathans
    Genome-wide integration of transcriptome, accessible chromatin, and DNA methylome data from vascular endothelial cells lays the foundation for understanding the gene regulatory circuits that generate organ-specific vascular specialization.

    Redox-controlled reorganization and flavin strain within the ribonucleotide reductase R2b–NrdI complex monitored by serial femtosecond crystallography

    Juliane John, Oskar Aurelius ... Martin Högbom
    The flavoprotein NrdI in class Ib ribonucleotide reductase controls superoxide generation and metal site oxidation by tuning the redox properties of its flavin cofactor via steric strain induced by the formation of the R2b–NrdI protein complex.

    The multi-subunit GID/CTLH E3 ubiquitin ligase promotes cell proliferation and targets the transcription factor Hbp1 for degradation

    Fabienne Lampert, Diana Stafa ... Matthias Peter
    Proteomic, biochemical and cell-based analyses of the heterodecameric core GID/CTLH E3 ligase complex reveal its molecular architecture, activity determinants, and function in targeting the tumor suppressor Hbp1 and other substrates required for cell proliferation.

    Identification of a small molecule inhibitor that stalls splicing at an early step of spliceosome activation

    Anzhalika Sidarovich, Cindy L Will ... Reinhard Lührmann
    Stalling spliceosome assembly at a novel step before Bact complex formation reveals new insights into the extensive RNP rearrangements and compositional changes that accompany the intricate process of spliceosome activation.

    Broadly neutralizing human antibodies against dengue virus identified by single B cell transcriptomics

    Natasha D Durham, Aditi Agrawal ... Leslie Goo
    Identification of viral and host determinants of broadly neutralizing antibodies targeting a new epitope on dengue virus that can be used to guide vaccine design.
