    Infectious polymorphic toxins delivered by outer membrane exchange discriminate kin in myxobacteria

    Christopher N Vassallo, Pengbo Cao ... Daniel Wall
    Serial cell-to-cell transfer of lipoprotein toxins by outer membrane exchange provides a potent platform for kin discrimination in Myxococcus xanthus.

    The deep-rooted origin of disulfide-rich spider venom toxins

    Naeem Yusuf Shaikh, Kartik Sunagar
    A remarkable case of the common evolutionary origin of a prominent spider venom component.

    Structural insights into human acid-sensing ion channel 1a inhibition by snake toxin mambalgin1

    Demeng Sun, Sanling Liu ... Lei Liu
    Mambalgin1 binds to the thumb domain of human ASIC1a channel and inhibits the channel through hindering the proton-induced transitions from the resting closed state to the active and/or desensitized state.

    C. elegans avoids toxin-producing Streptomyces using a seven transmembrane domain chemosensory receptor

    Alan Tran, Angelina Tang ... Miri K VanHoven
    Caenorhabditis elegans require a GPCR to recognize and rapidly escape from toxin-producing Streptomyces at their head or tail.

    Decoding a neural circuit controlling global animal state in C. elegans

    Patrick Laurent, Zoltan Soltesz ... Mario de Bono
    Sensory neurons that monitor ambient oxygen control a cascade of responses across multiple layers of interneurons to switch the global state of the nematode C. elegans, reprogramming behavior and gene expression to enable escape from or adaptation to surface exposure.

    Trans-toxin ion-sensitivity of charybdotoxin-blocked potassium-channels reveals unbinding transitional states

    Hans Moldenhauer, Ignacio Díaz-Franulic ... David Naranjo
    Detection of unbinding transitional states in the charybdotoxin first-order dissociation from a Kv-channel reveals that the bound neurotoxin wobbles, suggesting diverse intermediates and dissociation pathways in this protein–protein interaction.

    Osteocytes regulate senescence of bone and bone marrow

    Peng Ding, Chuan Gao ... Junjie Gao
    Partial ablation of osteocytes alters lineage cell specifications in bone and bone marrow, resulting in the acceleration of skeletal aging.

    Delivery of endocytosed proteins to the cell–division plane requires change of pathway from recycling to secretion

    Sandra Richter, Marika Kientz ... Gerd Jürgens
    The same membrane trafficking cargo can change pathways mediated by different members of ARF-GEF family of vesicle formation regulators.

    RETRACTED: Endocytic recycling and vesicular transport systems mediate transcytosis of Leptospira interrogans across cell monolayer

    Yang Li, Kai-Xuan Li ... Jie Yan
    L. interrogans utilizes endocytic recycling and vesicular transport systems for transcytosis across endothelial or epithelial barrier in blood vessels or renal tubules, which contributes to spreading and transmission of leptospirosis.

    The evolution of strategy in bacterial warfare via the regulation of bacteriocins and antibiotics

    Rene Niehus, Nuno M Oliveira ... Kevin R Foster
    Evolutionary game theory identifies reciprocation as a key winning strategy for warring bacteria.
