The SARS-CoV-2 main protease specifically cleaves a conserved sequence in the human tRNA modifying enzyme TRMT1, resulting in reduced tRNA binding and the complete loss of TRMT1-mediated tRNA methyltransferase activity.

The BPTF PHD finger is inhibited from binding the methylated H3 tails in the context of the nucleosome due to their robust interaction with the nucleosomal DNA, which can be modulated by additional histone PTMs.

Computational analysis reveals that additive summary statistics from genome-wide association studies can provide evidence of non-additive heritability in complex traits.

The fate of glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum whether they are directed toward folding or targeted to degradation depends on a tug of war between UGGT1 and EDEM family proteins.
A new high-resolution approach to probing tooth chemistry shows real potential to uncover changing rainfall patterns and environmental conditions during human prehistory.
Drosophila nociceptive neurons convert high-intensity stimuli into characteristic fluctuations of firing rates, quiescent periods of which are regulated by hyperpolarization through small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels.
During neurotransmitter release, calcium-induced membrane insertion of the C2B domain of Synaptotagmin re-orients the bound SNARE complex which dilates the fusion pore in a mechanical lever action.
The organization of olfactory projection neurons and their synaptic connectivity with third-order neurons studied along with olfactory responses suggest that the labeled-line design is partially at work in the Drosophila olfactory system.
Human neuroimaging with time-evolving network analysis reveals dynamic interactions among multiple functional brain networks in response to sustained pain.
