    Molecular determinants of phase separation for Drosophila DNA replication licensing factors

    Matthew W Parker, Jonchee A Kao ... Michael R Botchan
    The intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of metazoan DNA replication licensing factors phase separate through synergistic electrostatic DNA-IDR and hydrophobic inter-IDR interactions.

    Comprehensive interrogation of the ADAR2 deaminase domain for engineering enhanced RNA editing activity and specificity

    Dhruva Katrekar, Yichen Xiang ... Prashant Mali
    A deep mutational scan of the ADAR2 deaminase domain creates a map for designing tailored ADAR2 variants, and splitting the deaminase between residues 468 and 469 enables highly transcript-specific RNA editing.

    Maternal diet-induced obesity during pregnancy alters lipid supply to mouse E18.5 fetuses and changes the cardiac tissue lipidome in a sex-dependent manner

    Lucas C Pantaleão, Isabella Inzani ... Susan E Ozanne
    Maternal obesity alters the fetal cardiac and serum lipidome, promoting early fetal cardiac metabolic maturation, with evidence that the female heart lipidome is more responsive to an in utero obesogenic environment.

    Synergistic phase separation of two pathways promotes integrin clustering and nascent adhesion formation

    Lindsay B Case, Milagros De Pasquale ... Michael K Rosen
    Biochemical and cell biological data suggest a model of nascent integrin adhesion complex formation based on synergistic phase separation of pathways surrounding the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and the adaptor protein p130Cas.
