    Bacterial death and TRADD-N domains help define novel apoptosis and immunity mechanisms shared by prokaryotes and metazoans

    Gurmeet Kaur, Lakshminarayan M Iyer ... L Aravind
    Prokaryotic TRADD-N and Death-like adaptor domains in diverse predicted apoptosis and immune systems from multicellular prokaryotes and metazoans indicate the common origin of key apoptosis mechanisms required for the stabilization of multicellularity.

    Genetic variation in adaptability and pleiotropy in budding yeast

    Elizabeth R Jerison, Sergey Kryazhimskiy ... Michael M Desai
    Substantial heritable genetic variation in adaptability and the pleiotropic consequences of adaptation exists in budding yeast, and can be explained by a combination of fitness and specific segregating alleles.

    Selfing is the safest sex for Caenorhabditis tropicalis

    Luke M Noble, John Yuen ... Matthew V Rockman
    Out breeding depression in Caenorhabditis tropicalis is due to common maternal-offspring incompatibilities that interact with a highly heterogeneous genetic background and may provide a short-term advantage to inbreeding.

    RETRACTED: Proteasome storage granules protect proteasomes from autophagic degradation upon carbon starvation

    Richard S Marshall, Richard D Vierstra
    Proteasomes are protected from autophagic elimination upon carbon starvation by sequestration into cytoplasmic storage granules, which aid cell fitness by providing a cache of proteasomes that can be rapidly remobilized when carbon availability improves.

    Plant defense phenotypes determine the consequences of volatile emission for individuals and neighbors

    Meredith C Schuman, Silke Allmann, Ian T Baldwin
    Both the frequency of sesquiterpene-emitting individuals and the defense capacity of individual plants determine the consequences of sesquiterpene volatile emission for individuals and their neighbors in populations of the wild tobacco Nicotiana attenuata.

    A comprehensive survey of C. elegans argonaute proteins reveals organism-wide gene regulatory networks and functions

    Uri Seroussi, Andrew Lugowski ... Julie M Claycomb
    Systematically studying the expression, small RNA-binding partners, and loss-of-function phenotypes of all 19 Argonautes uncovers how small RNA regulatory pathways function and interact in Caenorhabditis elegans, a long-standing model for small RNA biology and RNAi.

    Integrative dynamic structural biology unveils conformers essential for the oligomerization of a large GTPase

    Thomas-O Peulen, Carola S Hengstenberg ... Christian Herrmann
    Multimodal spectroscopy (smFRET, EPR, SAXS, and SANS) and integrative structural modeling reveal large-scale domain rearrangements in human guanylate binding protein 1 (hGBP1) that are driving forces for the formation of oligomers that enable its biological function in innate immune defense.

    Genetics of trans-regulatory variation in gene expression

    Frank Wolfgang Albert, Joshua S Bloom ... Leonid Kruglyak
    A genetic mapping study in more than 1000 yeast individuals reveals the complexity of trans-acting genetic influences on transcriptome variation in unprecedented depth and detail.
