Krausz, Yunfei Li, Istvan Albert, Haiping Hao, Kristin M. Fabre, James B. Mitchell, Andrew D. Patterson and Frank J. Gonzalez Tempol is an antioxidant that reduces the body weight of mice on a high-fat diet. Li et al. now provide a mechanistic link by demonstrating that tempol affects the intestinal microbiota, which leads to a change in the composition of bile acids and suppression of FXR signalling. 24 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3384 Biological Sciences  Microbiology  Human impacts drive a global topographic signature in tree cover Brody Sandel and Jens-Christian Svenning Humans have greatly altered the distribution of forests across the world. Here, the authors use estimates of tree cover from remote-sensing data to reveal that human impact has produced a strong tendency for forest remnants to persist primarily on sloped terrain. 24 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3474 Biological Sciences  Ecology  Repeated targeting of the same hosts by a brood parasite compromises host egg rejection OPEN Martin Stevens, Jolyon Troscianko and Claire N. Spottiswoode Cuckoo eggs mimic those of their hosts to evade rejection. Here, the authors demonstrate that African cuckoo finch females combine both mimicry and a strategy of repeatedly parasitizing the same host nests to increase success by creating uncertainty in host defenses. 24 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3475 Biological Sciences  Ecology  Evolution  Analysing the substrate multispecificity of a proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter using a dipeptide library OPEN Keisuke Ito, Aya Hikida, Shun Kawai, Vu Thi Tuyet Lan, Takayasu Motoyama, Sayuri Kitagawa, Yuko Yoshikawa, Ryuji Kato and Yasuaki Kawarasaki Proton-coupled oligopeptide transporters (POTs) can recognize and mediate the uptake of up to 8,400 di/tripeptides or peptide-like drugs. Ito et al. comprehensively map the substrate specificity of the yeast POT Ptr2p, and use this information to construct models for the prediction of ligand affinity. 24 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3502 Biological Sciences  Biochemistry  Accessing 4f-states in single-molecule spintronics Sarah Fahrendorf, Nicolae Atodiresei, Claire Besson, Vasile Caciuc, Frank Matthes, Stefan Blügel, Paul Kögerler, Daniel E. Bürgler and Claus M. Schneider If single molecules are to be used in spintronic devices, it is necessary to interlink molecular spin states and charge transport. Here, the authors approach this goal by directly accessing highly spin-polarized hybrid states of a molecular complex of an early lanthanide on a metal surface. 24 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3425 Physical Sciences  Condensed matter  Nanotechnology  Complete gate control of supercurrent in graphene p–n junctions Jae-Hyun Choi, Gil-Ho Lee, Sunghun Park, Dongchan Jeong, Jeong-O Lee, H.-S. Sim, Yong-Joo Doh and Hu-Jong Lee Josephson junctions composed of graphene are limited by incomplete gate control of the supercurrent, impeding their development for superconducting quantum devices. Here, the authors fabricate bipolar Josephson junctions of graphene, allowing supercurrent on/off switching through electrostatic gating. 23 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3525 Physical Sciences  Applied physics  Nanotechnology  Room-temperature spin-spiral multiferroicity in high-pressure cupric oxide Xavier Rocquefelte, Karlheinz Schwarz, Peter Blaha, Sanjeev Kumar and Jeroen van den Brink As ferroelectric and magnetic ordering coexist in multiferroic materials, they might be used for memory applications, but only if the multiferroic phase is stable at room temperature. Here, the authors find such a phase in cupric oxide, whose spin-spiral multiferroicity is stabilized by pressure. 23 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3511 Physical Sciences  Condensed matter  Materials science  Theoretical physics  Mutants of Cre recombinase with improved accuracy Nikolai Eroshenko and George M. Church Cre recombinase is widely used to precisely manipulate genes and chromosomes, but it often displays off-target activity. Here, the authors improve the accuracy of Cre-mediated recombination by introducing specific mutations in the enzyme's dimerization surface. 23 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3509 Biological Sciences  Bioengineering  Molecular biology  Implementation of stable and complex biological systems through recombinase-assisted genome engineering Christine Nicole S. Santos, Drew D. Regitsky and Yasuo Yoshikuni Genetic engineering of bacteria is an important tool in biotechnology and synthetic biology. Here, the authors describe a method for genomic integration of complex, multi-gene sequences into bacteria and use it to create a strain of E. coli that generates ethanol from brown macroalgae. 23 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3503 Biological Sciences  Biotechnology  Microbiology  Systems biology  ORMDL3 promotes eosinophil trafficking and activation via regulation of integrins and CD48 Sung Gil Ha, Xiao Na Ge, Nooshin S. Bahaie, Bit Na Kang, Amrita Rao, Savita P. Rao and P. Sriramarao ORMDL3 has been identified as a gene associated with asthma susceptibility, but its exact role in the pathogenesis of this disease is not well known. Here, the authors propose that induction of ORMDL3 in eosinophils modulates the expression of integrins, which could contribute to a key inflammatory event in asthma. 23 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3479 Biological Sciences  Cell biology  Immunology  Roles of dental development and adaptation in rodent evolution Helder Gomes Rodrigues, Sabrina Renaud, Cyril Charles, Yann Le Poul, Floréal Solé, Jean-Pierre Aguilar, Jacques Michaux, Paul Tafforeau, Denis Headon, Jukka Jernvall and Laurent Viriot Tooth shapes vary greatly amongst mammals, but the genetic underpinnings and functional relevance of new dental morphologies are largely unknown. Gomes Rodrigues et al. show that Eda and Edar genes modulate molar crest development in mice, enabling incipient adaptation to highly fibrous diets. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3504 Biological Sciences  Developmental biology  Evolution  Palaeontology  Strongly enhanced flux pinning in one-step deposition of BaFe2(As0.66P0.33)2 superconductor films with uniformly dispersed BaZrO3 nanoparticles OPEN Masashi Miura, Boris Maiorov, Takeharu Kato, Takashi Shimode, Keisuke Wada, Seiji Adachi and Keiichi Tanabe Iron-based superconductors are promising for its use in building superconducting magnets; however, their high-field critical current density needs to be improved. Miura et al. show that this can be achieved with a one-step growth process that uniformly incorporates BaZrO3 nanoparticles into BaFe2As2 films. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3499 Physical Sciences  Condensed matter  Materials science  Auxin-Binding Protein 1 is a negative regulator of the SCFTIR1/AFB pathway Alexandre Tromas, Sébastien Paque, Vérène Stierlé, Anne-Laure Quettier, Philippe Muller, Esther Lechner, Pascal Genschik and Catherine Perrot-Rechenmann The plant hormone auxin controls growth and development, and is recognized by auxin-binding protein 1 (ABP1) and other receptors. In this study, Tromas et al. investigate the role of ABP1 and show that the protein functions upstream of other auxin receptors and controls auxin repressors via the SCF ubiquitin ligase pathway. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3496 Biological Sciences  Plant sciences  Dependence of fertility on kisspeptin–Gpr54 signaling at the GnRH neuron Milen Kirilov, Jenny Clarkson, Xinhuai Liu, Juan Roa, Pauline Campos, Rob Porteous, Günther Schütz and Allan E. Herbison The kisspeptin receptor GPR54 is implicated in the maintenance of mammalian fertility. Kirilov et al. study GPR54 mutant mice and identify a subset of neurons in the brain expressing gonadotropin-releasing hormone as the critical site for kisspeptin action. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3492 Biological Sciences  Medical research  Neuroscience  Nodal quasiparticle dynamics in the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 revealed by precision microwave spectroscopy C. J. S. Truncik, W. A. Huttema, P. J. Turner, S. Özcan, N. C. Murphy, P. R. Carrière, E. Thewalt, K. J. Morse, A. J. Koenig, J. L. Sarrao and D. M. Broun Although heavy fermion and cuprate superconductors are both unconventional superconductors, their composition and structure differ markedly. Yet, microwave spectra collected by Truncik et al. reveal a similarity in the charge dynamics of the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 and the cuprates. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3477 Physical Sciences  Condensed matter  Disappearance of nodal gap across the insulator–superconductor transition in a copper-oxide superconductor Yingying Peng, Jianqiao Meng, Daixiang Mou, Junfeng He, Lin Zhao, Yue Wu, Guodong Liu, Xiaoli Dong, Shaolong He, Jun Zhang, Xiaoyang Wang, Qinjun Peng, Zhimin Wang, Shenjin Zhang, Feng Yang, Chuangtian Chen, Zuyan Xu, T. K. Lee and X. J. Zhou How superconductivity emerges out of the antiferromagnetic insulating state of the cuprates is unclear. High-resolution ARPES measurements reported by Zhou et al. suggest that this emerges at the point where antiferromagnetic order disappears and the nodal gap of its electronic structure falls to zero. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3459 Physical Sciences  Condensed matter  p53 regulates Period2 expression and the circadian clock Takao Miki, Tomoko Matsumoto, Zhaoyang Zhao and Cheng Chi Lee The transcription factor p53 is a master regulator of the cellular stress response. Here, Miki et al. show that p53 directly regulates the expression of the circadian regulator Per2 in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and modulates circadian behaviour of mice. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3444 Biological Sciences  Cell biology  Medical research  Targeting BIG3–PHB2 interaction to overcome tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer cells OPEN Tetsuro Yoshimaru, Masato Komatsu, Taisuke Matsuo, Yi-An Chen, Yoichi Murakami, Kenji Mizuguchi, Eiichi Mizohata, Tsuyoshi Inoue, Miki Akiyama, Rui Yamaguchi, Seiya Imoto, Satoru Miyano, Yasuo Miyoshi, Mitsunori Sasa, Yusuke Nakamura and Toyomasa Katagiri Oestrogen receptor-α (ERα) signalling has a role in breast cancer drug resistance. Here, the authors report a synthetic peptide that disrupts the interaction between the signalling molecules BIG3 and PHB2, and thereby suppresses tamoxifen resistance. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3443 Biological Sciences  Cancer  Medical research  Tailoring deposition and morphology of discharge products towards high-rate and long-life lithium-oxygen batteries Ji-Jing Xu, Zhong-Li Wang, Dan Xu, Lei-Lei Zhang and Xin-Bo Zhang Poor rate capability and low cycle stability are common problems in lithium-oxygen batteries. Xu et al. present a free-standing palladium-modified carbon-based cathode with a tailored porous honeycomb-like structure, which is capable of high-rate and long-term battery operation. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3438 Chemical Sciences  Materials science  Nanotechnology  Gate control of the electron spin-diffusion length in semiconductor quantum wells OPEN G. Wang, B. L. Liu, A. Balocchi, P. Renucci, C. R. Zhu, T. Amand, C. Fontaine and X. Marie An important parameter in spintronics is the spin-diffusion length: the length over which the travelling electron spin keeps its orientation. Here, the authors show control over this length in quantum wells using a gate voltage, which also allows for an elegant measurement of the spin-orbit terms. 20 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3372 Physical Sciences  Applied physics  Condensed matter  Atomic structure of amorphous shear bands in boron carbide K. Madhav Reddy, P. Liu, A. Hirata, T. Fujita and M.W. Chen Boron carbide is known to deform and fail via the formation of amorphous shear bands, but the atomic-scale events by which this occurs are unknown. Reddy et al. study the atomic structure of these shear bands and find that they form via the disassembly of icosahedra. 19 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3483 Physical Sciences  Materials science  The interplay between apparent viscosity and wettability in nanoconfined water Deborah Ortiz-Young, Hsiang-Chih Chiu, Suenne Kim, Kislon Voïtchovsky and Elisa Riedo Controlling liquids at small scales is of importance for applications in microfluidics. Ortiz-Young et al. show that shear forces in nanoconfined water change dramatically if the confining surface is either hydrophobic or hydrophilic, offering a new understanding of the flow of liquids on the nanoscale. 19 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3482 Physical Sciences  Fluids and plasma physics  Role of the C-terminal domain in the structure and function of tetrameric sodium channels OPEN Claire Bagnéris, Paul G. DeCaen, Benjamin A. Hall, Claire E. Naylor, David E. Clapham, Christopher W. M. Kay and B. A. Wallace Prokaryotic voltage-gated sodium channels possess dynamically disordered cytoplasmic C-terminal domains. Bagnéris et al. present the structure of the Magnetococcus marinus NavMs pore and C-terminal domain and reveal its role in coupling channel inactivation and opening. 19 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3465 Biological Sciences  Biochemistry  Biophysics  Hour-glass magnetic spectrum in a stripeless insulating transition metal oxide Y. Drees, D. Lamago, A. Piovano and A. C. Komarek The magnetic excitation spectra of all cuprate superconductors exhibits an hour-glass shape that is widely believed to be caused by either charge stripe or band structure effects. Drees et al. observe the same spectral shape in a cobalt oxide that supports neither effect, suggesting a different origin entirely. 19 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3449 Physical Sciences  Condensed matter  Draft genome sequence of the mulberry tree Morus notabilis OPEN Ningjia He, Chi Zhang, Xiwu Qi, Shancen Zhao, Yong Tao, Guojun Yang, Tae-Ho Lee, Xiyin Wang, Qingle Cai, Dong Li, Mengzhu Lu, Sentai Liao, Guoqing Luo, Rongjun He, Xu Tan, Yunmin Xu, Tian Li, Aichun Zhao, Ling Jia, Qiang Fu et al. Mulberry trees are the primary food source for silkworms, which are reared for the production of silk. In this study, He et al. present the draft genome sequence of Morus notabilis and find that it evolved significantly faster than other plants in the Rosales order. 19 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3445 Biological Sciences  Genetics  Plant sciences  Structure of a helicase–helicase loader complex reveals insights into the mechanism of bacterial primosome assembly OPEN Bin Liu, William K. Eliason and Thomas A. Steitz During the initiation of bacterial DNA replication, loader proteins transfer the hexameric helicase ring onto replication origin DNA. Liu et al. report the crystal structure of a 570-kDa prepriming complex and suggest that the release of loader proteins is associated with the transition of the helicase ring to a spiral configuration. 19 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3495 Biological Sciences  Molecular biology  A node-based switch for preferential distribution of manganese in rice Naoki Yamaji, Akimasa Sasaki, Ji Xing Xia, Kengo Yokosho and Jian Feng Ma Mineral delivery to plant tissues must be tightly controlled to prevent tissue toxicity. Here, Yamaji et al. describe a manganese transporter in rice that delivers manganese to young leaves and panicles at low metal concentrations, while at high concentrations the metal is transported to older tissues due to rapid degradation of the transporter. 19 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3442 Biological Sciences  Plant sciences  Val66Met polymorphism of BDNF alters prodomain structure to induce neuronal growth cone retraction Agustin Anastasia, Katrin Deinhardt, Moses V. Chao, Nathan E. Will, Krithi Irmady, Francis S. Lee, Barbara L. Hempstead and Clay Bracken The Val66Met single-nucleotide polymorphism in the BDNF gene is implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders. Anastasia et al. show that this polymorphism results in structural changes in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor prodomain, and growth cone retraction in the hippocampal neurons. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3490 Biological Sciences  Neuroscience  Aerodynamic performance of the feathered dinosaur Microraptor and the evolution of feathered flight Gareth Dyke, Roeland de Kat, Colin Palmer, Jacques van der Kindere, Darren Naish and Bharathram Ganapathisubramani Some early flying dinosaurs, such as the Early Creataceous Microraptor, possessed four wings, but their aerodynamic performance is poorly understood. Dyke et al. show that Microraptor did not require sophisticated wing morphology to undertake effective glides, supporting the view that the origin of feathers in dinosaurs is not associated with flight. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3489 Biological Sciences  Evolution  Palaeontology  Single-male paternity in coelacanths Kathrin P. Lampert, Katrin Blassmann, Karen Hissmann, Jürgen Schauer, Peter Shunula, Zahor el Kharousy, Benjamin P. Ngatunga, Hans Fricke and Manfred Schartl Deep-sea coelacanth female fish were thought to enhance genetic variability in their offspring by mating with multiple males. Here, Lampert et al. analyse the paternity of the offspring of two females, and present evidence that coelacanth females are in fact monogamous. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3488 Biological Sciences  Evolution  Zoology  Group performance is maximized by hierarchical competence distribution Anna Zafeiris and Tamás Vicsek Social groups often need to take decisions and solve problems together, with each member contributing to the solution in a different way. Zafeiris et al. provide a family of models that allow the definition of the ideal distribution of competences in a group to solve a given task. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3484 Biological Sciences  Ecology  Evolution  MBNL1 and RBFOX2 cooperate to establish a splicing programme involved in pluripotent stem cell differentiation Julian P. Venables, Laure Lapasset, Gilles Gadea, Philippe Fort, Roscoe Klinck, Manuel Irimia, Emmanuel Vignal, Philippe Thibault, Panagiotis Prinos, Benoit Chabot, Sherif Abou Elela, Pierre Roux, Jean-Marc Lemaitre and Jamal Tazi MBNL and FOX splicing factors are known to have a role in the differentiation of muscle and the nervous system during development. In this study, the authors show that MBNL1 and RBFOX2 regulate alternative splicing of genes that are required specifically for late mesoderm differentiation. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3480 Biological Sciences  Developmental biology  Molecular biology  Two-colour pump–probe experiments with a twin-pulse-seed extreme ultraviolet free-electron laser OPEN E. Allaria, F. Bencivenga, R. Borghes, F. Capotondi, D. Castronovo, P. Charalambous, P. Cinquegrana, M. B. Danailov, G. De Ninno, A. Demidovich, S. Di Mitri, B. Diviacco, D. Fausti, W. M. Fawley, E. Ferrari, L. Froehlich, D. Gauthier, A. Gessini, L. Giannessi, R. Ivanov et al. Free-electron lasers are a powerful new tool for studying properties and transient states of matter. Here, the authors use a novel seed scheme for generation of two XUV laser pulses of controlled wavelength and time separation that enables access to ultrafast phenomena with elemental sensitivity. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3476 Physical Sciences  Applied physics  Optical physics  Ordered macroporous platinum electrode and enhanced mass transfer in fuel cells using inverse opal structure Ok-Hee Kim, Yong-Hun Cho, Soon Hyung Kang, Hee-Young Park, Minhyoung Kim, Ju Wan Lim, Dong Young Chung, Myeong Jae Lee, Heeman Choe and Yung-Eun Sung Inverse opal structures are desirable for fuel cell electrodes, but application of such structures in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells is yet to be realised. Kim et al. report fabrication of a platinum catalyst layer with an inverse opal structure, and show improved fuel cell performance. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3473 Chemical Sciences  Catalysis  Materials science  Nanotechnology  A peptide probe for targeted brown adipose tissue imaging Ali Azhdarinia, Alexes C. Daquinag, Chieh Tseng, Sukhen C. Ghosh, Pradip Ghosh, Felipe Amaya-Manzanares, Eva Sevick-Muraca and Mikhail G. Kolonin Current methods to image brown adipose tissue rely on radioactive tracers and specialized imaging equipment. Here, Azhdarinia et al. report a peptide-based probe that selectively binds to the vascular endothelium of brown adipose tissue and allows the near-infrared imaging of brown fat in mice. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3472 Biological Sciences  Chemical biology  Medical research  Non-Darwinian dynamics in therapy-induced cancer drug resistance Angela Oliveira Pisco, Amy Brock, Joseph Zhou, Andreas Moor, Mitra Mojtahedi, Dean Jackson and Sui Huang Many different factors contribute to the acquisition of drug resistance in cancer cells. Using single-cell analyses of leukaemia cells, the authors here provide evidence for an inductive mode of resistance, where cells express MDR1 in response to drug exposure, rather than selection of pre-existing, partially resistant cells. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3467 Biological Sciences  Cancer  Evolution  Ordered bilayer ruthenium–platinum core-shell nanoparticles as carbon monoxide-tolerant fuel cell catalysts Yu-Chi Hsieh, Yu Zhang, Dong Su, Vyacheslav Volkov, Rui Si, Lijun Wu, Yimei Zhu, Wei An, Ping Liu, Ping He, Siyu Ye, Radoslav R. Adzic and Jia X Wang Ruthenium can alleviate poisoning effects of carbon monoxide on platinum catalysts, but is prone to dissolution in fuel cells. Hsieh et al. synthesize ordered ruthenium–platinum nanoparticles with well-defined platinum bilayer shells, leading to high carbon monoxide tolerance and superior durability. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3466 Chemical Sciences  Catalysis  Materials science  Nanotechnology  Larger mammals have longer faces because of size-related constraints on skull form Andrea Cardini and P. David Polly Size-related craniofacial ontogenetic shape variation is known to occur in mammals: large individuals tend to be long-faced and small individuals have large braincases. Carnini and Polly now demonstrate that cranial size and shape co-vary in adults across a range of mammalian groups. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3458 Biological Sciences  Ecology  Evolution  Increasing functional modularity with residence time in the co-distribution of native and introduced vascular plants OPEN Cang Hui, David M. Richardson, Petr Pyšek, Johannes J. Le Roux, Tomáš Kučera and Vojtěch Jarošík Understanding how species assemblages change over time is crucial for conservation. Here, the authors assess the changes of compartmentalized structure in native and alien species across millennia, and show that older assemblages can form more functionally distinctive modules than younger ones. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3454 Biological Sciences  Ecology  Evolution  Photonic polarization gears for ultra-sensitive angular measurements OPEN Vincenzo D'Ambrosio, Nicolò Spagnolo, Lorenzo Del Re, Sergei Slussarenko, Ying Li, Leong Chuan Kwek, Lorenzo Marrucci, Stephen P. Walborn, Leandro Aolita and Fabio Sciarrino Beating the standard measurement limits is a goal of metrology, as it would allow for more precise estimation of physical quantities. Borrowing concepts from NOON-state quantum metrology, this work presents a single-photon scheme to measure rotation angles of light with super-resolution precision. 18 September 2013 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms3432 Physical Sciences  Applied physics  Optical physics    Nature Communications JOBS of the week Faculty Position Vanderbilt University Research Associate Cardiff School of Biosciences PhD Research Associate University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna Postdoctoral Fellow In Developmental Neuroscience CNRS and École Normale Supérieure Research Associate (x 2) Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR) Postdoctoral Research Associate University of Oxford Bioinformatician University of Oxford Post-doctoral Researcher Nationwide Children's Hospital, Research Institute Research Assistant Khalifa University of Science, Technology & Research (KUSTAR) Postdoctoral Fellow Shantou University More Science jobs from Nature Communications EVENT Alzheimer's Research UK Conference 2014 25.03.14 London, UK More science events from       Latest Corrigenda     Corrigendum: Dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis linked to gain-of-function mutations in mechanically activated PIEZO1 ion channels Juliette Albuisson, Swetha E.
