We’ve all been busy this spring writing grants and teaching courses and doing research and graduating(!), so lots of publications snuck by that we didn’t comment on. Here’s a few I think that might be interesting to our readers.
- From Chris Miller‘s lab, bacterial antiporters do act as “virtual proton efflux pumps”:
- Tsai MF, Miller C. Substrate selectivity in arginine-dependent acid resistance in enteric bacteria. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2013;110(15):5893-7.
- Tsai MF, McCarthy P, Miller C. Substrate selectivity in glutamate-dependent acid resistance in enteric bacteria. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2013;110(15):5898-902.
Are ninja stars responsible for controlling actin disassembly? Seems like the Goode lab might think so.
- Chaudhry F, Breitsprecher D, Little K, Sharov G, Sokolova O, Goode BL. Srv2/cyclase-associated protein forms hexameric shurikens that directly catalyze actin filament severing by cofilin. Mol Biol Cell. 2013;24(1):31-41.
- What do you get from statistical mechanics of self-propelled particles? The Hagan and Baskaran groups team up to find out.
- Redner GS, Hagan MF, Baskaran A. Structure and dynamics of a phase-separating active colloidal fluid. Phys Rev Lett. 2013;110(5):055701.
- From John Lisman and Ole Jensen (PhD ’98), thoughts about what the theta and gamma rhythms in the brain encode
- Lisman JE, Jensen O. The theta-gamma neural code. Neuron. 2013;77(6):1002-16.
- From Mike Marr‘s lab, studeies using genome-wide nascent sequencing to understand how transcrption bursting is controlled in eukaryotic cells
- Pennington KL, Marr SK, Chirn GW, Marr MT, 2nd. Holo-TFIID controls the magnitude of a transcription burst and fine-tuning of transcription. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2013;110(19):7678-83.
- From the Lau and Sengupta labs, RNAi pathways contribute to long term plasticity in worms that have gone through the Dauer stage
- Hall SE, Chirn GW, Lau NC, Sengupta P. RNAi pathways contribute to developmental history-dependent phenotypic plasticity in C. elegans. RNA. 2013;19(3):306-19.
- Can nanofibers selectively disrupt cancer cell types? Early results from Bing Xu‘s group.
- Kuang Y, Xu B. Disruption of the Dynamics of Microtubules and Selective Inhibition of Glioblastoma Cells by Nanofibers of Small Hydrophobic Molecules. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2013.
