Programmed ribosomal frameshifts, and how to find them

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Katelyn McNair, Peter Salamon, Robert A. Edwards and Anca M. Segall | Summary: One of the stranger phenomena that can occur during gene translation is where, as a ribosome reads along the mRNA, various cellular and molecular properties contribute to stalling the ribosome on a slippery sequence, shifting the […]

High-throughput colocalization pipeline quantifies efficacy of mitochondrial targeting signals across different protein types

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Shipman | Authors: Sierra K Lear, Jose A Nunez and Seth L Shipman | Summary: Efficient metabolic engineering and the development of mitochondrial therapeutics often rely upon the specific and strong import of foreign proteins into mitochondria. Fusing a protein to a mitochondria-bound signal peptide is a common method to localize proteins […]

Comparative landscape of genetic dependencies in human and chimpanzee stem cells

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Richard She, Tyler Fair, Nathan K. Schaefer, Reuben A. Saunders, Bryan J Pavlovic, Jonathan S. Weissman and Alex A. Pollen | Summary: Comparative studies of great apes provide a window into our evolutionary past, but the extent and identity of cellular differences that emerged during hominin evolution remain largely […]

Defective callosal termination underlies the long-term behavioral deficits in NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis mouse model

Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pleasure | Authors: Jing Zhou, Ariele Greenfield, Rita Loudermilk, Christopher Bartley, Baouyen Tran, Chao Zhao, Hong Wang, Michael Wilson and Samuel Pleasure | Summary: NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis (NMDAR-AE) is characterized by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-resident anti-NMDA receptor autoantibodies that cause a wide range of neurological manifestations. Although many symptoms are responsive to […]

Dual credit assignment processes underlie dopamine signals in a complex spatial environment

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke, Loren Frank | Authors: Timothy Amos Krausz, Alison E. Comrie, Loren M. Frank, Nathaniel Douglass Daw and Joshua D. Berke | Summary: Dopamine in the nucleus accumbens helps motivate behavior based on expectations of future reward (“values”). These values need to be updated by experience: after receiving reward, the choices that […]
