    Photoreceptor avascular privilege is shielded by soluble VEGF receptor-1

    Ling Luo, Hironori Uehara ... Balamurali K Ambati
    The eye produces a protein that inhibits the growth of blood vessels in the deep retina, which includes the photoreceptor layer, and disruption of this process can lead to blindness.

    Crystal structures of the CPAP/STIL complex reveal its role in centriole assembly and human microcephaly

    Matthew A Cottee, Nadine Muschalik ... Mark van Breugel
    Structural analyses of the centriole proteins CPAP and STIL identify domains that are critical for centriole formation and provide a structural explanation for a mutation that causes human microcephaly.

    USP13 antagonizes gp78 to maintain functionality of a chaperone in ER-associated degradation

    Yanfen Liu, Nia Soetandyo ... Yihong Ye
    A deubiquitinase antagonizes the activity of an associated E3 ligase to prevent uncontrolled ubiquitination of a degradation machinery protein and thus maintain its functionality in protein quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum.

    p97-dependent retrotranslocation and proteolytic processing govern formation of active Nrf1 upon proteasome inhibition

    Senthil K Radhakrishnan, Willem den Besten, Raymond J Deshaies
    The enzyme p97/VCP regulates the activity of the transcription factor Nrf1 to promote increased transcription of genes that encode proteasome subunits following inhibition of the proteasome.

    Evolution of extreme resistance to ionizing radiation via genetic adaptation of DNA repair

    Rose T Byrne, Audrey J Klingele ... Michael M Cox
    Experiments on E. coli show that multiple mechanisms contribute to extreme resistance to ionizing radiation in bacteria, with mutations to three genes for DNA repair having a prominent role in one evolved population.
