    Molecular features underlying differential SHP1/SHP2 binding of immune checkpoint receptors

    Xiaozheng Xu, Takeya Masubuchi ... Enfu Hui
    A molecular interpretation is provided for why some inhibitory immunoreceptors prefer to recruit SHP1 but others prefer SHP2.

    Crowding-induced phase separation of nuclear transport receptors in FG nucleoporin assemblies

    Luke K Davis, Ian J Ford, Bart W Hoogenboom
    Computational modelling predicts spatial segregation of different types of nuclear transport receptors in assemblies of nuclear pore proteins, lending support to the idea of separate transport pathways in the nuclear pore complex as a way to enhance transport efficiency.

    RNA-dependent chromatin association of transcription elongation factors and Pol II CTD kinases

    Sofia Battaglia, Michael Lidschreiber ... Patrick Cramer
    In vivo and in vitro elongation factor-RNA interaction data provide a missing link in understanding how processive elongation complexes are formed on active genes and disassembled at the end of genes.

    Live imaging and biophysical modeling support a button-based mechanism of somatic homolog pairing in Drosophila

    Myron Barber Child VI, Jack R Bateman ... Hernan G Garcia
    Biophysical modeling and quantitative live-cell imaging converge to show that the century-old puzzle of somatic homolog pairing in Drosophila operates via a button model.

    Dissecting the sharp response of a canonical developmental enhancer reveals multiple sources of cooperativity

    Jeehae Park, Javier Estrada ... Angela H DePace
    The sharp expression pattern driven by a classic, simple animal enhancer is determined by multiple molecular mechanisms, not only cooperative binding of the activating transcription factor as was previously thought.

    A simple biophysical model emulates budding yeast chromosome condensation

    Tammy MK Cheng, Sebastian Heeger ... Frank Uhlmann
    A computational model of a yeast chromosome, based on first principles, recapitulates in vivo chromosome behavior, and thus provides unprecedented insight into what the inside of a chromosome is likely to look like.

    Mechanics and dynamics of translocating MreB filaments on curved membranes

    Felix Wong, Ethan C Garner, Ariel Amir
    Principal curvature-dependent motion of bacterial actin MreB results in localization consistent with all known literature.

    Large-scale state-dependent membrane remodeling by a transporter protein

    Wenchang Zhou, Giacomo Fiorin ... José D Faraldo-Gómez
    The conformational mechanism of a transporter protein is found to have profound and energetically costly effects on the morphology of the surrounding membrane.

    A pre-screening strategy to assess resected tumor margins by imaging cytoplasmic viscosity and hypoxia

    Hui Huang, Youpei Lin ... Weijia Zhang
    A fluorescence-based pre-screening strategy allows high-throughput, convenient, and fast gross assessment of resected tumor margins by imaging cytoplasmic viscosity and hypoxia.
