    TMEM120A is a coenzyme A-binding membrane protein with structural similarities to ELOVL fatty acid elongase

    Jing Xue, Yan Han ... Youxing Jiang
    Cryo-EM structure of human TMEM120A reveals that it is a coenzyme A-binding protein and is unlikely to function as a mechanosensitive channel as was recently proposed.

    Simple biochemical features underlie transcriptional activation domain diversity and dynamic, fuzzy binding to Mediator

    Adrian L Sanborn, Benjamin T Yeh ... Roger D Kornberg
    Transcriptional activation domains achieve rapid, dynamic, specific interaction with Mediator through binding of an unstructured peptide to multiple hydrophobic surfaces without particular amino acid side chain interactions.

    Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) activity is modulated by light and gates rapid phase shifts of the circadian clock

    Andrea Brenna, Micaela Borsa ... Urs Albrecht
    The light-modulated protein kinase CDK5 is important for phase shifts of the circadian clock, impacting phase delays through calcium influx and signaling pathways, crucial for adapting to jet lag.

    Toxoplasma TgATG9 is critical for autophagy and long-term persistence in tissue cysts

    David Smith, Geetha Kannan ... Vern B Carruthers
    ATG9-dependent autophagy is an essential pathway for long-term survival within the cyst in the parasite Toxoplasma gondii and could be exploited in future studies seeking interventions against persistent Toxoplasma infection.

    A microRNA negative feedback loop downregulates vesicle transport and inhibits fear memory

    Rebecca S Mathew, Antonis Tatarakis ... Danesh Moazed
    A fear conditioning-induced miRNA acts in a negative feedback loop that targets vesicle exocytosis and neurotransmitter receptor trafficking, and inhibits memory formation.

    A-type FHFs mediate resurgent currents through TTX-resistant voltage-gated sodium channels

    Yucheng Xiao, Jonathan W Theile ... Theodore R Cummins
    A-type fibroblast growth factor homologous factors generate resurgent currents in tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channels, increase repetitive firing of sensory neurons, and provide a potentially important target for pain treatment strategies.
