    AAV-Txnip prolongs cone survival and vision in mouse models of retinitis pigmentosa

    Yunlu Xue, Sean K Wang ... Constance L Cepko
    AAV-Txnip prolongs vision in mouse models of blindness, enhancing lactate catabolism, mitochondrial health, and ATP production in a condition that likely has a limited glucose supply.

    Muscle-specific stress fibers give rise to sarcomeres in cardiomyocytes

    Aidan M Fenix, Abigail C Neininger ... Dylan T Burnette
    Sarcomeres in heart muscle cells come from stress fiber-like structures that are mechanistically distinct from stress fibers in non-muscle cells.

    Structure and function of the mycobacterial transcription initiation complex with the essential regulator RbpA

    Elizabeth A Hubin, Allison Fay ... Elizabeth A Campbell
    The essential mycobacterial transcription factor RbpA interacts with promoter DNA and cooperates with another essential transcription factor, CarD, to stimulate the formation of an intermediate leading to the open promoter complex.

    SDR enzymes oxidize specific lipidic alkynylcarbinols into cytotoxic protein-reactive species

    Pascal Demange, Etienne Joly ... Sébastien Britton
    Deciphering the mechanism of action of a large family of natural and synthetic cytotoxic lipids bioactivated by enantiospecific oxidation into protein-reactive species inspires the development of enzyme-specific prodrugs.

    Fitness variation across subtle environmental perturbations reveals local modularity and global pleiotropy of adaptation

    Grant Kinsler, Kerry Geiler-Samerotte, Dmitri A Petrov
    A set of adaptive mutations affect only a small number of phenotypes that matter in the evolution condition, and yet contain substantial latent functional diversity revealed in distant environments.

    RIM-BP2 primes synaptic vesicles via recruitment of Munc13-1 at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses

    Marisa M Brockmann, Marta Maglione ... Dietmar Schmitz
    The active zone scaffold protein RIM-BP2 performs distinct functions in vesicle release at two hippocampal synapses, providing insights on how synapses express diversity in release properties.

    Comparative transcriptomics reveal a novel tardigrade-specific DNA-binding protein induced in response to ionizing radiation

    Marwan Anoud, Emmanuelle Delagoutte ... Jean-Paul Concordet
    When exposed to high-dose ionizing radiation, tardigrades undergo extensive DNA damage, like humans, but cope by stimulating expression of DNA repair proteins and of TDR1, a novel tardigrade-specific DNA-binding protein.

    The infection-tolerant white-footed deermouse tempers interferon responses to endotoxin in comparison to the mouse and rat

    Ana Milovic, Jonathan V Duong, Alan G Barbour
    Comparing the white-footed deermouse with mice and rats in an inflammation model reveals a means for the observed infection tolerance in this key animal reservoir for several human diseases.
