    Endothelial TGF-β signaling instructs smooth muscle cell development in the cardiac outflow tract

    Giulia LM Boezio, Anabela Bensimon-Brito ... Didier YR Stainier
    Alk5/TGF-β signaling is required in the endothelium to orchestrate zebrafish cardiac outflow tract morphogenesis, regulating smooth muscle cell and extracellular matrix organization.

    Downregulation of the tyrosine degradation pathway extends Drosophila lifespan

    Andrey A Parkhitko, Divya Ramesh ... Norbert Perrimon
    The tyrosine degradation pathway reprogramming connects mitochondrial dysfunction, aging, and production of tyrosine-derived neuromediators that can be targeted with an FDA-approved drug, Tigecycline.

    The Chd1 chromatin remodeler shifts hexasomes unidirectionally

    Robert F Levendosky, Anton Sabantsev ... Gregory D Bowman
    Oriented hexasomes can be generated using the Widom 601 positioning sequence, which enables straightforward production of nucleosomes with asymmetrically modified H2A/H2B dimers.

    Nuclear crowding and nonlinear diffusion during interkinetic nuclear migration in the zebrafish retina

    Afnan Azizi, Anne Herrmann ... William A Harris
    The evolving spatial distribution of nuclei between apical and basal surfaces of the developing retinal neuroepithelium is quantitatively described by a nonlinear diffusion equation accounting for crowding within the tissue.

    Non-canonical Hedgehog signaling regulates spinal cord and muscle regeneration in Xenopus laevis larvae

    Andrew M Hamilton, Olga A Balashova, Laura N Borodinsky
    Unlike in early embryonic development, injured spinal cord and muscle in Xenopus laevis larvae recruit non-canonical Hedgehog signaling essential for their regeneration, while repressing Gli transcriptional activity.

    Acidic C-terminal domains autoregulate the RNA chaperone Hfq

    Andrew Santiago-Frangos, Jeliazko R Jeliazkov ... Sarah A Woodson
    Modeling and biophysics show that the unstructured acidic tail of the Sm protein Hfq mimics nucleic acid to auto inhibit its chaperone activity, preventing Hfq from being sequestered by inauthentic substrates and providing insight into the evolution of Hfq's chaperone function among bacterial genera.

    Synergistic roles of Synaptotagmin-1 and complexin in calcium-regulated neuronal exocytosis

    Sathish Ramakrishnan, Manindra Bera ... Shyam S Krishnakumar
    Cooperative action of synaptotagmin and complexin is needed to arrest all SNARE complexes on a vesicle, and the reversal of the synaptotagmin clamp is sufficient to achieve fast, Ca2+-synchronized fusion.

    Dynamics of allosteric regulation of the phospholipase C-γ isozymes upon recruitment to membranes

    Edhriz Siraliev-Perez, Jordan TB Stariha ... John Sondek
    PLC-γ isozymes are activated by a combination of receptor engagement and membrane proximity.

    ALKBH7 mediates necrosis via rewiring of glyoxal metabolism

    Chaitanya A Kulkarni, Sergiy M Nadtochiy ... Paul S Brookes
    Multi-omics reveals that Alkb homolog 7 (ALKBH7), α mitochondrial alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase of unclear function, regulates glyoxal metabolism, which may explain its role in necrosis and heart attack.

    Accurate timekeeping is controlled by a cycling activator in Arabidopsis

    Polly Yingshan Hsu, Upendra K Devisetty, Stacey L Harmer
    The circadian clock in the model plant organism Arabidopsis thaliana is best described as a highly connected network made up of clock-regulated activators and repressors of transcription, rather than two coupled, repressor-based feedback loops.
