    Cryo-EM structure of the polycystin 2-l1 ion channel

    Raymond E Hulse, Zongli Li ... David E Clapham
    The selectivity characteristics of PC-2L1, which make it a principal source of calcium in primary cilia function, is presented and advances understanding of the similarity and differences of TRPP ion channels.

    Identifying molecular features that are associated with biological function of intrinsically disordered protein regions

    Taraneh Zarin, Bob Strome ... Alan M Moses
    A statistical model systematically associates functions of intrinsically disordered regions with sequence-distributed molecular features such as charge, residue composition, or repeat content.

    The tardigrade damage suppressor protein binds to nucleosomes and protects DNA from hydroxyl radicals

    Carolina Chavez, Grisel Cruz-Becerra ... James T Kadonaga
    Dsup, a unique protein found only in tardigrades, is a nucleosome-binding protein that protects DNA from damage by hydroxyl radicals, such as those generated by ionizing radiation or oxidants.

    Cerebellar implementation of movement sequences through feedback

    Andrei Khilkevich, Juan Zambrano ... Michael Dean Mauk
    The cerebellum can learn a sequence of responses by using a feedback signal from the previous movement to learn the next one.

    Unifying the known and unknown microbial coding sequence space

    Chiara Vanni, Matthew S Schechter ... Antonio Fernàndez-Guerra
    A newly developed computational framework provides an overview of the extent, diversity, and relevance of the genes of unknown function in genomes and metagenomes.

    Recurrent network model for learning goal-directed sequences through reverse replay

    Tatsuya Haga, Tomoki Fukai
    The combination of short-term and long-term plasticity enables hippocampus to learn goal-directed paths through replay in a reversed order.

    Systematic bacterialization of yeast genes identifies a near-universally swappable pathway

    Aashiq H Kachroo, Jon M Laurent ... Edward M Marcotte
    Despite billions of years of divergence, a majority of prokaryotic genes can functionally replace their essential eukaryotic counterparts, revealing broad preservation of ancestral functions and identifying heme biosynthesis as a near-universally swappable pathway.
    1. Neuroscience

    Integration of overlapping sequences emerges with consolidation through medial prefrontal cortex neural ensembles and hippocampal–cortical connectivity

    Alexa Tompary, Lila Davachi
    Changes in cortical neural ensembles and heightened coupling between the hippocampus and cortex enable the eventual behavioral integration of memories with overlapping sequential information.

    Parallel evolution between genomic segments of seasonal human influenza viruses reveals RNA-RNA relationships

    Jennifer E Jones, Valerie Le Sage ... Seema S Lakdawala
    Phylogenetic relationships between viral RNA segments are distinct between subtypes and lineages of seasonal human influenza A viruses and implicate RNA-RNA relationships as novel drivers of influenza virus evolution.

    The proposed channel-enzyme transient receptor potential melastatin 2 does not possess ADP ribose hydrolase activity

    Iordan Iordanov, Csaba Mihályi ... László Csanády
    TRPM2 is simply a ligand gated channel and does not to possess enzymatic activity, even though it shows sequence similarity to Nudix hydrolases.
