A histidine-mediated supramolecular mechanism links temperature and pH activation of the sperm channel CatSper

by Billy Zhao, Shweta Bhagwat, Juan Ferreira, Kiersten M. Ruff, Dilip K. Swain, Rohit V. Pappu, Celia M. Santi, Ziao Fu, Polina V. Lishko

The cation channel of sperm, CatSper, is a sperm-specific calcium channel essential for male fertility across metazoans. CatSper is activated by intracellular alkalinization, membrane depolarization, and elevated temperature, which tog...

Implicit sensorimotor adaptation comprises distinct mechanisms for action selection and execution

by Tianhe Wang, Tony Lam, Jordan A. Taylor, Richard B. Ivry

The sensorimotor system is continuously adjusted to minimize error. Current theories assume that this adaptation process entails the operation of multiple learning systems, with a key division between implicit and explicit components. Recent studies have revealed several inconsistencies regarding the characteris...

Type III effectors of symbiotic Rhizobia include diverse predicted transcriptional and post-transcriptional modulators

by Albin Teulet, Sebastian Schornack

Rhizobia are soil bacteria that establish nitrogen-fixing symbioses with legumes. While many rhizobia use a Type III Secretion System to deliver “Nodulation Outer Protein” (Nop) effectors, some uniquely use these proteins to initiate nodule organogenesis, bypassing classical signalling. The molecular functions of these effectors remai...
