    Kinesin motility is driven by subdomain dynamics

    Wonmuk Hwang, Matthew J Lang, Martin Karplus
    The motor protein kinesin utilizes its fuel molecule by active and concerted motions of its subdomains, while it rapidly interacts with the microtubule track by forming a wet and dynamic interface.

    Simultaneous enumeration of cancer and immune cell types from bulk tumor gene expression data

    Julien Racle, Kaat de Jonge ... David Gfeller
    A novel method predicts cancer and immune cell types from bulk tumor gene expression data with the ability to consider uncharacterized and possibly highly variable cell types, which is validated in human genome.

    Towards deep learning with segregated dendrites

    Jordan Guerguiev, Timothy P Lillicrap, Blake A Richards
    A multi-compartment spiking neural network model demonstrates that biologically feasible deep learning can be achieved if sensory inputs and higher-order feedback are received by different dendritic compartments.

    Conformational dynamics in TRPV1 channels reported by an encoded coumarin amino acid

    Ximena Steinberg, Marina A Kasimova ... Sebastian E Brauchi
    Single-molecule measurement of conformational dynamics using a genetically encoded fluorescent probe suggests that the selectivity filter region of TRPV1 channels undergoes dynamic motion during agonist activation.

    Intrinsically disordered linkers determine the interplay between phase separation and gelation in multivalent proteins

    Tyler S Harmon, Alex S Holehouse ... Rohit V Pappu
    Computational modeling and theoretical analysis reveal how disordered linkers determine whether linear multivalent proteins undergo gelation with or without phase separation.

    Deep transcriptome annotation enables the discovery and functional characterization of cryptic small proteins

    Sondos Samandi, Annie V Roy ... Xavier Roucou
    Conventional annotations of coding sequences have missed thousands of short open-reading frames encoding proteins that are conserved and with specific functions.

    Inter-species population dynamics enhance microbial horizontal gene transfer and spread of antibiotic resistance

    Robert M Cooper, Lev Tsimring, Jeff Hasty
    Killing their neighbors allows bacteria to steal genes, including antibiotic resistance genes, which we observed under a microscope, quantified, modeled, and predicted potentially guiding strategies to combat it.

    The formation of the light-sensing compartment of cone photoreceptors coincides with a transcriptional switch

    Janine M Daum, Özkan Keles ... Botond Roska
    Correlating changes in structure and gene expression in cone photoreceptors of mice daily, between birth and eye opening, created a resource that supports research in photoreceptor function, development, transplantation and repair.
