    Ribosome•RelA structures reveal the mechanism of stringent response activation

    Anna B Loveland, Eugene Bah ... Andrei A Korostelev
    Cryo-EM structures of 70S•RelA ribosome complexes reveal how cognate deacyl-tRNA activates RelA.

    A gene-expression-based neural code for food abundance that modulates lifespan

    Eugeni V Entchev, Dhaval S Patel ... QueeLim Ch'ng
    TGFβ and serotonin signaling in a neural circuit encodes food availability; these signals regulate the dynamic range and variability on the circuit to impact coding accuracy and lifespan responses.

    Droplet-based high-throughput cultivation for accurate screening of antibiotic resistant gut microbes

    William J Watterson, Melikhan Tanyeri ... Savaş Tay
    High-throughput droplet-based cultivation of gut microbes reduces biases of traditional cultivation strategies and thereby enables detection of difficult-to-culture organisms, which is required in applications such as antibiotic screening.

    Asymmetric conformational maturation of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase

    Xunhai Zheng, Lalith Perera ... Robert E London
    HIV-1 reverse transcriptase uses a metamorphic polymerase domain that minimizes its coding requirements but requires a complex maturation process.

    Single amino acid residue mediates reciprocal specificity in two mosquito odorant receptors

    Flavia P Franco, Pingxi Xu ... Walter S Leal
    The southern house mosquito senses the oviposition attractants skatole and indole with two receptor proteins sharing only 50% amino acid identity, and having the residues alanine-73 and leucine-74 in the skatole and indole receptors, respectively, control their specificity.

    Novel neuroanatomical integration and scaling define avian brain shape evolution and development

    Akinobu Watanabe, Amy M Balanoff ... Mark A Norell
    More integrated brains in crown birds evolved through a mosaic assembly of new evolutionary and developmental dynamics across neuroanatomical regions that occurred along the dinosaur-bird transition.

    Intronic enhancer region governs transcript-specific Bdnf expression in rodent neurons

    Jürgen Tuvikene, Eli-Eelika Esvald ... Tõnis Timmusk
    An evolutionarily conserved neuron-specific and stimulus-dependent enhancer region downstream of the Bdnf exon III regulates the expression of Bdnf transcripts starting from the upstream 5' exons.

    An hourglass circuit motif transforms a motor program via subcellularly localized muscle calcium signaling and contraction

    Steven R Sando, Nikhil Bhatla ... H Robert Horvitz
    By driving the localized contraction of subcellular muscle regions, a single motor neuron reverses the flow of material in the Caenorhabditis elegans pharynx, a neuromuscular pump, converting feeding into spitting.

    Glycolytic reliance promotes anabolism in photoreceptors

    Yashodhan Chinchore, Tedi Begaj ... Constance L Cepko
    Aerobic glycolysis in rod photoreceptors of adult mice is regulated by allostery and FGF signaling and is required for maintaining outer segments.

    Alterations in the intrinsic properties of striatal cholinergic interneurons after dopamine lesion and chronic L-DOPA

    Se Joon Choi, Thong C Ma ... Un Jung Kang
    HCN and SK channel currents in striatal cholinergic neurons are decreased with dopamine loss, but only HCN is restored by chronic L-DOPA and SK abnormality persists in dyskinesia.
