Ivan Marazzi, Jessica S. Y. Ho, Jaehoon Kim, Balaji Manicassamy, Scott Dewell et al.

The H3N2 influenza virus immunomodulatory protein NS1 carries a sequence that mimics the histone H3 tail; this sequence interferes with the host antiviral response via binding to the cellular regulator of RNA elongation, hPAF1C.

Adaptive radiation of multituberculate mammals before the extinction of dinosaurs ▶

Gregory P. Wilson, Alistair R. Evans, Ian J. Corfe, Peter D. Smits, Mikael Fortelius et al.

Adaptive radiation of Mesozoic-era multituberculate mammals began at least 20 million years before the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and continued across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary—probably as a result of dietary expansion towards herbivory during the ecological rise of angiosperms—and is supported by increases in generic richness and disparity in dental complexity and body size.

Deciphering a neuronal circuit that mediates appetite ▶

Qi Wu, Michael S. Clark & Richard D. Palmiter

Dissection of the neuronal circuit driving feeding behaviour in mice shows that suppression of the parabrachial nucleus protects against aphagia and promotes weight gain, and also that the parabrachial nucleus is an integration hub that bidirectionally modulates feeding and body weight.

Ancient deuterostome origins of vertebrate brain signalling centres ▶

Ariel M. Pani, Erin E. Mullarkey, Jochanan Aronowicz, Stavroula Assimacopoulos, Elizabeth A. Grove et al.

Genetic programs homologous to three vertebrate signalling centres are present in the hemichordate Saccoglossus kowalevskii and may be components of a complex, ancient genetic regulatory scaffold for deuterostome body patterning that degenerated in amphioxus and ascidians, but was retained to pattern divergent structures in hemichordates and vertebrates.

Asymmetric spiroacetalization catalysed by confined Brønsted acids ▶

Ilija Čorić & Benjamin List

Uncovering the Neoproterozoic carbon cycle ▶

D. T. Johnston, F. A. Macdonald, B. C. Gill, P. F. Hoffman & D. P. Schrag

Pilong Li, Sudeep Banjade, Hui-Chun Cheng, Soyeon Kim, Baoyu Chen et al.

The mechanisms by which the ångström-scale molecular properties of cells are translated to micrometre-scale macroscopic properties have not been well understood, but this study shows that when multivalent proteins interact with each other, they undergo a switch-like phase separation, which is concomitant with a transition from small complexes to huge polymeric assemblies, as the concentration increases.
