    Guanidine production by plant homoarginine-6-hydroxylases

    Dietmar Funck, Malte Sinn ... Jörg S Hartig
    2-Oxoglutarate and Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenases from clade C23 are the major source of guanidine in plants and release guanidine from arginine or homoarginine by C5 or C6 hydroxylation, respectively.

    Ligand response of guanidine-IV riboswitch at single-molecule level

    Lingzhi Gao, Dian Chen, Yu Liu
    A folding-function model for the guanidine-IV riboswitch under both guanidine-free and guanidine-present conditions offers valuable insights into its regulatory mechanism.

    Structures of two aptamers with differing ligand specificity reveal ruggedness in the functional landscape of RNA

    Andrew John Knappenberger, Caroline Wetherington Reiss, Scott A Strobel
    RNA aptamers that are closely related and share a common scaffold can readily adapt to recognize new ligands through changes in just a few nucleotides.

    Guanidine hydrochloride reactivates an ancient septin hetero-oligomer assembly pathway in budding yeast

    Courtney R Johnson, Marc G Steingesser ... Michael A McMurray
    A naturally-occurring small molecule acts as a chemical chaperone in vivo to alter the folding of a budding yeast septin and promote an oligomerization pathway that was lost during evolution.

    Learning the specific quality of taste reinforcement in larval Drosophila

    Michael Schleyer, Daisuke Miura ... Bertram Gerber
    The finding that fly maggots, equipped with only 10,000 neurons, process reinforcement not only by value but also by specific quality reveals a basic operating principle of brains and challenges current models of memory organization.

    How honey bees make fast and accurate decisions

    HaDi MaBouDi, James AR Marshall ... Andrew B Barron
    A fast and accurate decision-making strategy observed in bees, and reproduced in a neurally-grounded model, suggests a robust, risk-averse decision strategy suitable for when sampling and errors are both costly.

    Prolonged nicotine exposure reduces aversion to the drug in mice by altering nicotinic transmission in the interpeduncular nucleus

    Sarah Mondoloni, Claire Nguyen ... Alexandre Mourot
    Inter-individual variabilities in nicotine aversion are linked with responses of the interpeduncular nucleus to the drug.

    Ir56d-dependent fatty acid responses in Drosophila uncover taste discrimination between different classes of fatty acids

    Elizabeth B Brown, Kreesha D Shah ... Alex C Keene
    The taste system of fruit flies is activated by broad classes of fatty acids and can discriminate between different classes, revealing previously underappreciated complexity in the coding of tastants.
