ATG9 vesicles comprise the seed membrane of mammalian autophagosomes

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli | Authors: Taryn J. Olivas, Yumei Wu, Shenliang Yu, Lin Luan, Peter Choi, Shanta Nag, Pietro De Camilli, Kallol Gupta and Thomas J. Melia | Summary: Abstract During autophagosome biogenesis, the incorporation of transmembrane proteins into the expanding phagophore is not readily observed. In addition, the membrane surface area of the […]

From Prediction to Action: Dissociable Roles of Ventral Tegmental Area and Substantia Nigra Dopamine Neurons in Instrumental Reinforcement

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | Authors: Kurt Michael Fraser, Heather J Pribut, Patricia H Janak and Ronald Keiflin | Summary: Abstract Reward-seeking requires the coordination of motor programs to achieve goals. Midbrain dopamine neurons are critical for reinforcement and their activation is sufficient for learning about cues, actions, and outcomes. Here we examine in detail […]

In silico discovery of repetitive elements as key sequence determinants of 3D genome folding

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Laura M Gunsalus, Michael J. Keiser and Katherine S Pollard | Summary: Abstract Natural and experimental genetic variants can modify DNA loops and insulating boundaries to tune transcription, but it is unknown how sequence perturbations affect chromatin organization genome-wide. We developed an in silico deep-learning strategy to quantify the […]

Piezo1 as a force-through-membrane sensor in red blood cells.

Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: George Vaisey, Priyam Banerjee, Alison J North, Christoph A Haselwandter and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: Summary Piezo1 is the stretch activated Ca2+ channel in red blood cells that mediates homeostatic volume control. Here we study the organization of Piezo1 in red blood cells using a combination of super resolution […]

The Impact of Population Stratification on the Analysis of Multimodal Neuroimaging Derived Measures

Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Tzu-Hsuan Huang, Chun Chieh Fan, Wesley Thompson and Robert Loughnan | Summary: Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the human brain are now attaining larger sample sizes with more diverse samples. However, population stratification, a key factor driving heterogeneity and confounding of associations, is seldom accounted for in […]

Sex differences in inter-individual gene expression variability across human tissues

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Samuel Khodursky, Caroline S Jiang, Eric B Zheng, Roger Vaughan, Daniel R Schrider and Li Zhao | Summary: Abstract Understanding phenotypic sex differences has long been a goal of biology from both a medical and evolutionary perspective. Although much attention has been paid to mean differences in phenotype between […]
