    Antiparallel protocadherin homodimers use distinct affinity- and specificity-mediating regions in cadherin repeats 1-4

    John M Nicoludis, Bennett E Vogt ... Rachelle Gaudet
    Clustered and non-clustered protocadherins form antiparallel homodimers in which distinct regions of the extended interface demonstrate a division of labor between driving affinity and determining specificity.

    PSTPIP2 ameliorates aristolochic acid nephropathy by suppressing interleukin-19-mediated neutrophil extracellular trap formation

    Changlin Du, Chuanting Xu ... Taotao Ma
    PSTPIP2 reduced IL-19 secretion by inhibiting activation of the NF-κB pathway in renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs), reducing the generation of neutrophil extracellular trap, which can participate in both aristolochic acid I-induced renal injury and apoptosis in RTECs.

    mRNA-programmed translation pauses in the targeting of E. coli membrane proteins

    Nir Fluman, Sivan Navon ... Yitzhak Pilpel
    Translation pauses occur in strategic positions to facilitate the production of properly folded membrane proteins in bacteria.

    Distinct inactive conformations of the dopamine D2 and D3 receptors correspond to different extents of inverse agonism

    J Robert Lane, Ara M Abramyan ... Lei Shi
    The occupation of a sub-pocket near the Na+-binding site in D2R by the Na+-insensitive antagonists is the structural basis for their greater inverse agonism than that of the Na+-sensitive ligands.

    A feedback mechanism converts individual cell features into a supracellular ECM structure in Drosophila trachea

    Arzu Öztürk-Çolak, Bernard Moussian ... Jordi Casanova
    Cell-cell junctions and the actin cytoskeleton are key players in the organisation and patterning of the extracellular matrix (ECM) on the apical side of tracheal cells.

    Structure of Geobacter OmcZ filaments suggests extracellular cytochrome polymers evolved independently multiple times

    Fengbin Wang, Chi Ho Chan ... Daniel R Bond
    A cryo-EM structure of the bacterial OmcZ cytochrome filament provides evidence for the possibility that cytochrome polymers had multiple origins in bacteria.

    Sensitizing Staphylococcus aureus to antibacterial agents by decoding and blocking the lipid flippase MprF

    Christoph J Slavetinsky, Janna N Hauser ... Andreas Peschel
    Blocking the bacterial lipid flippase MprF by monoclonal antibodies enhance staphylococcal clearance by host defense and antibiotics providing a novel proof of concept for antivirulence approaches targeting bacterial resistance mechanisms.
