    Human motor fatigability as evoked by repetitive movements results from a gradual breakdown of surround inhibition

    Marc Bächinger, Rea Lehner ... Nicole Wenderoth
    Motor fatigability is associated with a decrease in inhibition throughout the motor network, suggesting that selective inhibitory control is a key mechanism to maintain motor efficiency during repetitive movements.

    Stability of motor representations after paralysis

    Charles Guan, Tyson Aflalo ... Richard A Andersen
    Neural populations in PPC dynamically represent motor-like and then sensory-like aspects of brain–computer interface finger movements with a representational structure that matches able-bodied individuals.

    The Drosophila ZAD zinc finger protein Kipferl guides Rhino to piRNA clusters

    Lisa Baumgartner, Dominik Handler ... Julius Brennecke
    Kipferl, a ZAD zinc finger protein from Drosophila, determines the chromatin binding specificity of the heterochromatin protein variant Rhino, defining piRNA clusters and preventing Rhino sequestration by selfish Satellite repeats.

    Evolutionary adaptation of an HP1-protein chromodomain integrates chromatin and DNA sequence signals

    Lisa Baumgartner, Jonathan J Ipsaro ... Julius Brennecke
    Genetic and biochemical characterization reveals how a single amino acid change in the chromodomain of the HP1 protein Rhino enables its specific interaction with the guidance factor Kipferl.

    How lamina-associated polypeptide 1 (LAP1) activates Torsin

    Brian A Sosa, F Esra Demircioglu ... Thomas U Schwartz
    LAP1 adopts an AAA+ like fold that, while unable to bind nucleotide, can enhance ATPase activity in the neighboring TorsinA protomer in an unusual heterohexameric ring, via an arginine finger.

    Structural basis of diverse membrane target recognitions by ankyrins

    Chao Wang, Zhiyi Wei ... Mingjie Zhang
    The 24 ankyrin repeats of ankyrin proteins form an extended solenoid that provides an extremely conserved groove for binding to numerous targets via combinatorial usage of multiple weak interaction sites.

    Repeated losses of PRDM9-directed recombination despite the conservation of PRDM9 across vertebrates

    Zachary Baker, Molly Schumer ... Molly Przeworski
    PRDM9 is widely conserved across vertebrates yet has been lost numerous times, as has its role in directing meiotic recombination.

    Chemical genetics and proteome-wide site mapping reveal cysteine MARylation by PARP-7 on immune-relevant protein targets

    Kelsie M Rodriguez, Sara C Buch-Larsen ... Michael S Cohen
    A combined chemical genetics, proximity labeling, and ADP-ribose site mapping approach shows that PARP-7 mono-ADP-ribosylates immune-relevant proteins on cysteine amino acids.

    Deep transcriptome annotation enables the discovery and functional characterization of cryptic small proteins

    Sondos Samandi, Annie V Roy ... Xavier Roucou
    Conventional annotations of coding sequences have missed thousands of short open-reading frames encoding proteins that are conserved and with specific functions.

    Arabidopsis FORGETTER1 mediates stress-induced chromatin memory through nucleosome remodeling

    Krzysztof Brzezinka, Simone Altmann ... Isabel Bäurle
    Environmentally-mediated gene induction is extended beyond the duration of an external cue by sustaining a nucleosome-depleted chromatin structure.
