    Comparative interactome analysis of α-arrestin families in human and Drosophila

    Kyung-Tae Lee, Inez KA Pranoto ... Jin-Wu Nam
    Unveiling the high-confidence protein–protein interaction networks of human and fly α-arrestins provides insights into conserved and species-specific functional roles depending on their protein domains and motifs.

    Yeast eIF2A has a minimal role in translation initiation and uORF-mediated translational control in vivo

    Swati Gaikwad, Fardin Ghobakhlou ... Alan G Hinnebusch
    Eliminating eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) from wild-type budding yeast had little impact on translation of individual mRNAs, including those with regulatory upstream open-reading frames, even when canonical initiation factor eIF2 activity was impaired.

    The gene expression landscape of the human locus coeruleus revealed by single-nucleus and spatially-resolved transcriptomics

    Lukas M Weber, Heena R Divecha ... Stephanie C Hicks
    Spatially-resolved transcriptomics and single-nucleus RNA-sequencing are applied to the human locus coeruleus to characterize the gene expression profiles of norepinephrine (NE) neurons and other cell populations in this critical brain region, with all data made publicly available.

    Cis-regulatory modes of Ultrabithorax inactivation in butterfly forewings

    Amruta Tendolkar, Anyi Mazo-Vargas ... Arnaud Martin
    CRISPR knock-outs and functional genomic approaches probe the regulatory mechanism restricting the Hox gene Ubx to butterfly hindwings, explaining color pattern differentiation from forewings.

    Auxin exposure disrupts feeding behavior and fatty acid metabolism in adult Drosophila

    Sophie A Fleck, Puja Biswas ... Lesley N Weaver
    Adult Drosophila exposed to auxin at the recommended concentrations for the AGES transgene expression system display defects in feeding behavior, have altered metabolic transcripts, and have reduced triacylglyceride levels.

    Genetic basis of Arabidopsis thaliana responses to infection by naïve and adapted isolates of turnip mosaic virus

    Anamarija Butkovic, Thomas James Ellis ... Santiago F Elena
    Arabidopsis lines were screened for resistance to TuMV, identifying a region on chromosome 2 linked to necrosis that includes an antiviral gene.

    Tmem263 deletion disrupts the GH/IGF-1 axis and causes dwarfism and impairs skeletal acquisition

    Dylan C Sarver, Jean Garcia-Diaz ... G William Wong
    Mice lacking Tmem263 are dwarfs, and this phenotype is associated with reduced hepatic growth hormone (GH) receptor expression, a deficit in GH-induced signaling, and low insulin-like growth factor 1 level.

    Multi-ancestry meta-analysis of host genetic susceptibility to tuberculosis identifies shared genetic architecture

    Haiko Schurz, Vivek Naranbhai ... International Tuberculosis Host Genetics Consortium
    Results from the largest tuberculosis genome-wide association study meta-analysis identified a significant association in the human leukocyte antigen class II region, rs28383206, across multiple populations.
