    Adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon improves skeletal muscle function in aged mice

    Priya Balasubramanian, Anne E Schaar ... Rozalyn M Anderson
    Activation of adiponectin receptors in young and aged mice induces changes in muscular metabolism via stimulation of AMPK and PGC-1a and ameliorates age-related muscle loss of function.

    Dynamic relocalization of replication origins by Fkh1 requires execution of DDK function and Cdc45 loading at origins

    Haiyang Zhang, Meghan V Petrie ... Oscar M Aparicio
    Establishment of replication-timing involves Fkh1-dependent recruitment and execution of DDK function in G1 phase resulting in dynamic relocalization of origins within the nucleus in anticipation of CDK-dependent origin activation.

    The diversity and function of sourdough starter microbiomes

    Elizabeth A Landis, Angela M Oliverio ... Benjamin E Wolfe
    In the most comprehensive survey of sourdough starter biodiversity, this work identifies processes that control the diversity and function of sourdough microbiomes at a continental scale.

    Development of antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity function in HIV-1 antibodies

    Laura E Doepker, Sonja Danon ... Julie M Overbaugh
    HIV-specific antibodies that mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity vary in their paths to achieve function but commonly rely on mutations in multiple regions, including framework regions, to reach full potency.

    The Drosophila HNF4 nuclear receptor promotes glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and mitochondrial function in adults

    William E Barry, Carl S Thummel
    Drosophila HNF4 directs a developmental switch at the onset of adulthood that suppresses diabetes by promoting mitochondrial function and supporting glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

    Cardiac mitochondrial function depends on BUD23 mediated ribosome programming

    Matthew Baxter, Maria Voronkov ... David Ray
    BUD23 links ribosome function with mitochondrial protein expression and efficient oxidative phosphorylation by promoting selective mRNA translation and is therefore critical to mouse development and postnatal cardiac function.

    Molecular function limits divergent protein evolution on planetary timescales

    Mariam M Konaté, Germán Plata ... Dennis Vitkup
    Orthologous proteins that continuously maintain the same molecular function do not usually diverge beyond a certain level of sequence and structural similarity.

    Antiviral function and viral antagonism of the rapidly evolving dynein activating adaptor NINL

    Donté Alexander Stevens, Christopher Beierschmitt ... Matthew D Daugherty
    Evolution-guided functional analyses identify an activating adaptor of the dynein intracellular transportation machinery, NINL, as a novel component of the antiviral immune response and reveal a mechanism by which viruses antagonize NINL function in a species-specific manner.

    Properdin oligomers adopt rigid extended conformations supporting function

    Dennis V Pedersen, Martin Nors Pedersen ... Gregers R Andersen
    Combining electron microscopy and solution scattering demonstrated that properdin oligomers adopt extended rigid and well-defined conformations that are integral to the biological function of this complement regulator.

    Herbivory-induced volatiles function as defenses increasing fitness of the native plant Nicotiana attenuata in nature

    Meredith C Schuman, Kathleen Barthel, Ian T Baldwin
    A 2-year field study has demonstrated that volatile compounds produced by plants when they are attacked by herbivores act as defenses by attracting predators to the herbivores and increasing the reproduction of the plants.
