Assembly of SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleosomes by truncated N* variant of the nucleocapsid protein

This study shows that the truncated N* variant of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein can assemble into vRNPs similar to full-length N, requiring the leucine-rich helix and inhibited by a phosphomimetic SR region.

Reconstitution of the SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleosome provides insights into genomic RNA packaging and regulation by phosphorylation

The paper reconstitutes the SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleosome in vitro and shows phosphorylation of the N protein disrupts vRNP assembly.

Present and future distribution of bat hosts of sarbecoviruses: implications for conservation and public health

The paper models current and future distributions of bat hosts of sarbecoviruses, identifying hotspots and projecting range contractions under climate change scenarios.

Marine heatwaves depress metabolic activity and impair cellular acid-base homeostasis in reef-building corals regardless of bleaching susceptibility

This study shows marine heatwaves reduce metabolic activity and impair acid-base homeostasis in reef-building corals, regardless of their bleaching resistance.

Multisite phosphorylation by Cdk1 initiates delayed negative feedback to control mitotic transcription

The paper shows that multisite phosphorylation of Ndd1 by Cdk1 initiates delayed negative feedback, controlling mitotic transcription through a pulse of gene expression.

Syndecan-4-/- mice have smaller muscle fibers, increased Akt/mTOR/S6K1 and Notch/HES-1 pathways, and alterations in extracellular matrix components

This study investigates the effects of syndecan-4 genetic ablation on muscle development and ECM remodeling in mice, finding smaller muscle fibers and altered pathway activations.

CpG-creating Mutations are Costly in Many Human Viruses

The paper examines the cost of CpG-creating mutations in various human viruses using existing genomic data and finds they are generally costly.
