    Role of N343 glycosylation on the SARS-CoV-2 S RBD structure and co-receptor binding across variants of concern

    Callum M Ives, Linh Nguyen ... Elisa Fadda
    Viral evolution can lead to mutations that render specific glycosylation sites dispensable for folding and for supporting the protein's function, allowing changes in the shield, and in the immunogenic profile.

    PURA syndrome-causing mutations impair PUR-domain integrity and affect P-body association

    Marcel Proske, Robert Janowski ... Dierk Niessing
    Structural promiscuity in PURA protein, induced by patient mutations, impacts nucleic acid binding, unwinding, and subcellular localization, indicating why so many patients display the full disease spectrum of PURA syndrome.

    High-risk Escherichia coli clones that cause neonatal meningitis and association with recrudescent infection

    Nguyen Thi Khanh Nhu, Minh-Duy Phan ... Mark A Schembri
    E. coli that cause neonatal meningitis largely derive from two global clonal lineages that can additionally form intestinal reservoirs to seed recrudescent invasive infection even when appropriate antibiotics are used.

    Single-cell RNA sequencing unveils the hidden powers of zebrafish kidney for generating both hematopoiesis and adaptive antiviral immunity

    Chongbin Hu, Nan Zhang ... Jian-zhong Shao
    scRNA-seq revealed the fish kidney is a dual-functional entity with functionalities of both primary and secondary lymphoid organs and highlighted the multifaced biology of kidney in ancient vertebrates.

    Apoptosis recognition receptors regulate skin tissue repair in mice

    Olivia Justynski, Kate Bridges ... Valerie Horsley
    After an injury to the skin, murine wounds upregulate apoptosis and efferocytosis pathways, which are required for effective healing and may similarly impact wound healing in diabetic patients.

    Myristoyl’s dual role in allosterically regulating and localizing Abl kinase

    Svenja de Buhr, Frauke Gräter
    The cellular membrane competes with Abl for myristoyl binding to stabilize the preactivated state and enhance allosteric activation.

    A pH-dependent cluster of charges in a conserved cryptic pocket on flaviviral envelopes

    Lorena Zuzic, Jan K Marzinek ... Peter J Bond
    Benzene mapping simulations of envelope protein rafts from six different flaviviruses reveal a conserved cryptic site whose cluster of ionisable residues is likely responsible for orchestrating pH-dependent conformational changes during fusion, thereby representing an attractive target for antiviral development.
