    Agl24 is an ancient archaeal homolog of the eukaryotic N-glycan chitobiose synthesis enzymes

    Benjamin H Meyer, Panagiotis S Adam ... Helge C Dorfmueller
    The crenarchaeon Sulfolobus synthesizes the N-glycan core in the identical way as all Eukaryotes, which strengthens the hypothesis that the eukaryotic N-glycosylation is acquired from an ancient archaeon during eukaryogenesis.

    Point of View: Predictive regulation and human design

    Peter Sterling
    Why does the human regulatory system, which evolution tuned for small satisfactions, now constantly demand 'more'?

    Developmental loss of MeCP2 from VIP interneurons impairs cortical function and behavior

    James M Mossner, Renata Batista-Brito ... Jessica A Cardin
    Loss of function of the Rett syndrome gene MeCP2 in a small but powerful interneuron population, the VIP cells, causes a unique combination of impairments in neural function and behavior.

    Early life imprints the hierarchy of T cell clone sizes

    Mario U Gaimann, Maximilian Nguyen ... Andreas Mayer
    The rapid development of immune memory in infancy shapes the composition of T cell defenses throughout the human lifespan.

    Individual variations in ‘brain age’ relate to early-life factors more than to longitudinal brain change

    Didac Vidal-Pineiro, Yunpeng Wang ... Anders Fjell
    Longitudinal neuroimaging models reveal that cross-sectional indices of brain age do not significantly relate to ongoing brain change, that is, brain aging, but to lifelong, stable variations in brain structure emerging in early life.

    Stress-induced Cdk5 activity enhances cytoprotective basal autophagy in Drosophila melanogaster by phosphorylating acinus at serine437

    Nilay Nandi, Lauren K Tyra ... Helmut Krämer
    Cdk5-mediated stabilization of Acinus in postmitotic neurons promotes autophagy and the removal of protein aggregates linked to neurodegeneration in Drosophila melanogaster.

    Siglec receptors impact mammalian lifespan by modulating oxidative stress

    Flavio Schwarz, Oliver MT Pearce ... Pascal Gagneux
    By contributing to the maintenance of ROS homeostasis, CD33-related Siglecs control oxidative damage and influence rate of aging and lifespan.

    Firefly genomes illuminate parallel origins of bioluminescence in beetles

    Timothy R Fallon, Sarah E Lower ... Jing-Ke Weng
    The first genomic view of beetle luciferase evolution indicates evolutionary independence of luciferase between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide valuable datasets which will accelerate the discovery of new biotechnological tools.

    Systematic proteomic analysis of LRRK2-mediated Rab GTPase phosphorylation establishes a connection to ciliogenesis

    Martin Steger, Federico Diez ... Matthias Mann
    Parkinson's kinase LRRK2 phosphorylates a distinct subset of Rabs, and LRRK2-dependent phosphorylation links LRKK2 to ciliogenesis.

    A novel and accurate full-length HTT mouse model for Huntington’s disease

    Sushila A Shenoy, Sushuang Zheng ... Chenjian Li
    A novel BAC226Q mouse recapitulating robust, age-dependent, progressive Huntington’s disease (HD)-like phenotypes will be a valuable tool for studying disease mechanisms, identifying biomarkers, and testing gene-targeting therapeutic approaches for HD.
