    The ion selectivity filter is not an activation gate in TRPV1-3 channels

    Andrés Jara-Oseguera, Katherine E Huffer, Kenton J Swartz
    The TRPV1, TRPV2 and TRPV3 channels are gated on the cytosolic side of the pore, whereas structural changes in the ion selectivity filter associated with activation don't control cation access.

    Molecular architecture of the human tRNA ligase complex

    Alena Kroupova, Fabian Ackle ... Martin Jinek
    Biochemical and structural investigations of the human tRNA ligase complex reveal the details of its molecular assembly and provide insights into the reaction mechanism of its catalytic subunit.

    Corticohippocampal circuit dysfunction in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome

    Joanna Mattis, Ala Somarowthu ... Ethan M Goldberg
    Electrophysiology, optogenetics, and imaging in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome reveals dentate gyrus circuit dysfunction driven by hyperexcitability of the perforant path input from entorhinal cortex that can be modulated by recruitment of parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory interneurons.

    Enhancing and inhibitory motifs regulate CD4 activity

    Mark S Lee, Peter J Tuohy ... Michael S Kuhns
    Eutherian CD4 evolved counterbalancing motifs in the extracellular, transmembrane, and intracellular domains that regulate CD4+ T cell responses to peptide antigens presented by class II MHC (pMHCII).

    Cellular diversity in the Drosophila midbrain revealed by single-cell transcriptomics

    Vincent Croset, Christoph D Treiber, Scott Waddell
    Sequencing mRNA from thousands of single cells from the Drosophila brain highlights the extent of cellular diversity and reveals co-expression of specific neuropeptides with particular fast-acting neurotransmitters and monoamines.

    Monoallelically expressed noncoding RNAs form nucleolar territories on NOR-containing chromosomes and regulate rRNA expression

    Qinyu Hao, Minxue Liu ... Kannanganattu V Prasanth
    A novel family of nucleolus-enriched ncRNAs forms allele-specific territories on the nucleolar organizing region (NOR)-containing acrocentric chromosomes.

    The distinct roles of calcium in rapid control of neuronal glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle

    Carlos Manlio Díaz-García, Dylan J Meyer ... Gary Yellen
    When neurons are stimulated, calcium entry into mitochondria upregulates mitochondrial energy production, but glycolytic energy production in the cytosol is stimulated by elevated energy demand, not Ca2+ signaling.

    Evolution of Yin and Yang isoforms of a chromatin remodeling subunit precedes the creation of two genes

    Wen Xu, Lijiang Long ... Patrick T McGrath
    Gene sharing through different isoforms can precede the formation of independent genes.

    Common virulence gene expression in adult first-time infected malaria patients and severe cases

    J Stephan Wichers, Gerry Tonkin-Hill ... Anna Bachmann
    Parasites with pathogenic variant surface antigens are common in adult malaria patients with a naive immune status.

    Extensive remodelling of the cell wall during the development of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia

    Edward JA Douglas, Nathanael Palk ... Ruth C Massey
    The transition of Staphylococcus aureus from commensalism to invasive disease, bacteraemia, is a complex balancing act offsetting offensive and defensive virulence strategies involving the Tca cell wall stress stimulon locus.
