    A SUMO E3 ligase promotes long non-coding RNA transcription to regulate small RNA-directed DNA elimination

    Salman Shehzada, Tomoko Noto ... Kazufumi Mochizuki
    The identification of a SUMO E3 ligase engaged in lncRNA transcription, subsequently leading to target-directed small RNA degradation, reveals an unexplored layer of regulatory mechanisms within small RNA-directed chromatin regulation.

    Targeted anticancer pre-vinylsulfone covalent inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase IX

    Aivaras Vaškevičius, Denis Baronas ... Daumantas Matulis
    A series of compounds were synthesized and demonstrated to form a specific covalent bond with His64 of CAIX, an anticancer target, a strategy applicable to any drug design project.

    Role of Nfu1 and Bol3 in iron-sulfur cluster transfer to mitochondrial clients

    Andrew Melber, Un Na ... Dennis R Winge
    Mitochondrial proteins Nfu1 and BolA3 mediate the transfer of preformed [4Fe-4S] clusters within the mitochondria to recipient proteins to shield clusters from oxidative damage during transfer.

    Claudin-2-dependent paracellular channels are dynamically gated

    Christopher R Weber, Guo Hua Liang ... Jerrold R Turner
    Paracellular, trans-tight junction channels, which communicate between two extracellular compartments without crossing the plasma membrane, are a new class of ion channel with unitary behaviors similar to traditional transmembrane channels.

    Ancient role of sulfakinin/cholecystokinin-type signalling in inhibitory regulation of feeding processes revealed in an echinoderm

    Ana B Tinoco, Antón Barreiro-Iglesias ... Maurice R Elphick
    Starfish feed by everting their stomach out of their mouth over prey and, interestingly, this unusual feeding mechanism is inhibited by substances similar to hormones that regulate feeding in humans.
