    Cytokinin transfer by a free-living mirid to Nicotiana attenuata recapitulates a strategy of endophytic insects

    Christoph Brütting, Cristina Maria Crava ... Ian T Baldwin
    Cytokinin-dependent manipulation of plant metabolism is a strategy employed not only by gallers and leaf-miners but also by a free-living insect, Tupiocoris notatus, which directly transfers cytokinins at feeding sites to manipulate its host plant.

    Site-specific glycosylation regulates the form and function of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton

    Heather J Tarbet, Lee Dolat ... Michael Boyce
    The in vivo modification of the canonical intermediate filament protein vimentin with O-linked beta-N-acetylglucosamine affects its function in filament assembly, cell migration and host-pathogen interactions.

    Niche partitioning facilitates coexistence of closely related honey bee gut bacteria

    Silvia Brochet, Andrew Quinn ... Philipp Engel
    Experiments in gnotobiotic bees and culture tubes can recapitulate gut microbiota coexistence patterns observed in nature.

    Unconventional secretory processing diversifies neuronal ion channel properties

    Cyril Hanus, Helene Geptin ... Erin M Schuman
    Imaging, quantitative immunoblotting and mass spectrometry reveal that hundreds of surface-expressed neuronal membrane proteins exhibit atypical glycosylation profiles, resulting in changes in protein half-life and synaptic responses.

    Metabolic clogging of mannose triggers dNTP loss and genomic instability in human cancer cells

    Yoichiro Harada, Yu Mizote ... Naoyuki Taniguchi
    Proteomic and metabolomic analyses reveal how mannose exerts its anticancer activity.

    eDNA-stimulated cell dispersion from Caulobacter crescentus biofilms upon oxygen limitation is dependent on a toxin–antitoxin system

    Cecile Berne, Sébastien Zappa, Yves V Brun
    Genetic and microscopy analyses identify a programmed cell death mechanism that kills a cell subpopulation in a bacterial biofilm where oxygen is limiting, thereby promoting dispersion of newborn motile cells through the action of DNA released by dead cells.

    An essential, kinetoplastid-specific GDP-Fuc: β-D-Gal α-1,2-fucosyltransferase is located in the mitochondrion of Trypanosoma brucei

    Giulia Bandini, Sebastian Damerow ... Michael AJ Ferguson
    The activity, localization, and essentiality of TbFUT1, together with its ability to complement Leishmania parasites lacking the homologous gene, suggest the presence of an uncommon and conserved mitochondrial fucosylation pathway required for kinetoplastid parasites viability.

    Capsular polysaccharide restrains type VI secretion in Acinetobacter baumannii

    Nicolas Flaugnatti, Loriane Bader ... Melanie Blokesch
    Capsular polysaccharides of Acinetobacter baumannii regulate type VI secretion system activity, balancing self-protection with interbacterial competitiveness.

    High N-glycan multiplicity is critical for neuronal adhesion and sensitizes the developing cerebellum to N-glycosylation defect

    Daniel Medina-Cano, Ekin Ucuncu ... Vincent Cantagrel
    Impairment of protein N-glycosylation disrupts neural cell adhesion mediated by highly glycosylated members of the IgSF-CAM protein family.
