    Antagonist actions of CMK-1/CaMKI and TAX-6/calcineurin along the C. elegans thermal avoidance circuit orchestrate adaptation of nociceptive response to repeated stimuli

    Martina Rudgalvyte, Zehan Hu ... Dominique A Glauser
    Phosphoproteomics identifies diverse CaM kinase substrates, while genetic dissection reveals an unexpected antagonistic interaction with calcineurin signaling that operates in distinct neurons to regulate thermo-nociception in Caenorhabditis elegans.

    Major nuclear locales define nuclear genome organization and function beyond A and B compartments

    Omid Gholamalamdari, Tom van Schaik ... Andrew S Belmont
    New insights into nuclear genome organization were generated by comparing genome localization relative to three major nuclear locales- nuclear lamina, nuclear speckles, and nucleoli- across several human cell lines.
