Baker, Seong Beom Ahn, Abidali Mohamedali, Mohammad T. Islam, David Cantor, Peter D. Verhaert, Susan Fanayan, Samridhi Sharma, Edouard C. Nice, Mark Connor and Shoba Ranganathan | | | The Human Proteome Project aims to catalogue the ∼20,000 proteins encoded by the human genome. In this review, Baker et al. focus on the missing proteins, proteins that lack high stringency proteomic evidence, and launch MissingProteinPedia, a database aimed at accelerating the search for missing proteins. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14271 | | | | | | | | | | Latest Articles | View all Articles | | | | | A swarm of autonomous miniature underwater robot drifters for exploring submesoscale ocean dynamics OPEN | | | Jules S. Jaffe, Peter J. S. Franks, Paul L. D. Roberts, Diba Mirza, Curt Schurgers, Ryan Kastner and Adrien Boch | | | Observing dynamics associated with oceanic submesoscales requires simultaneous sampling at multiple locations. Here, the authors show that a swarm of 16 Mini-Autonomous Underwater Explorers (M-AUEs), whose 3D trajectories are measured near-continuously, can resolve features of the flow at these scales. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14189 | | |
| Drug regimens identified and optimized by output-driven platform markedly reduce tuberculosis treatment time OPEN | | | Bai-Yu Lee, Daniel L. Clemens, Aleidy Silva, Barbara Jane Dillon, Saša Masleša-Galić, Susana Nava, Xianting Ding, Chih-Ming Ho and Marcus A. Horwitz | | | Current antibiotic therapies for tuberculosis are lengthy and onerous. Here, the authors use an output-driven approach to optimize drug doses for two experimental drug regimens in a mouse model of tuberculosis, leading to improved regimens that reduce treatment time by 75%. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14183 | | |
| Refined Ordovician timescale reveals no link between asteroid breakup and biodiversification OPEN | | | A. Lindskog, M. M. Costa, C.M.Ø. Rasmussen, J. N. Connelly and M. E. Eriksson | | | The high amount of L-type chondrites discovered in Ordovician sediments has previously been linked with the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event. But here, Lindskog et al. present new zircon ages that date the chondrite dispersion to 468.0±0.3 Ma, showing that the two events may be unrelated. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14066 | | |
| Market forces influence helping behaviour in cooperatively breeding paper wasps OPEN | | | Lena Grinsted and Jeremy Field | | | In cooperatively breeding species, subordinates help to raise the dominant breeders’ offspring in return for benefits associated with group membership. Here, Grinsted and Field show that the amount of help provided by subordinate paper wasps depends on the availability of alternative nesting options, as predicted by biological market theory. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms13750 | | |
| Fractal nematic colloids OPEN | | | S. M. Hashemi, U. Jagodič, M. R. Mozaffari, M. R. Ejtehadi, I. Muševič and M. Ravnik | | | Topological defects in nematic liquid crystals can be controlled upon external stimuli for designing novel photonic materials. Here, Hashemi et al. show geometry-induced formation of fractal defects in nematic fluids with the fractal self-similarity more than 90% from micrometers to nanometres. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14026 | | |
| Superior colliculus neurons encode a visual saliency map during free viewing of natural dynamic video OPEN | | | Brian J. White, David J. Berg, Janis Y. Kan, Robert A. Marino, Laurent Itti and Douglas P. Munoz | | | Saliency maps have been proposed to guide visual attention, yet the underlying neural correlates remain undetermined. Here, the authors record from monkeys as they watch videos of natural scenes, and find superior colliculus superficial visual-layer neurons exhibit activity patterns consistent with a visual saliency map. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14263 | | |
| Scalable high-precision tuning of photonic resonators by resonant cavity-enhanced photoelectrochemical etching OPEN | | | Eduardo Gil-Santos, Christopher Baker, Aristide Lemaître, Carmen Gomez, Giuseppe Leo and Ivan Favero | | | Aligning the resonances of sets of optical cavities is necessary for advanced photonics and sensing applications. Here, the authors introduce resonant photoelectrochemical etching as a method to collectively and permanently tune the resonant wavelengths of ensembles of resonators on a photonic chip. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14267 | | |
| Transient structural variations have strong effects on quantitative traits and reproductive isolation in fission yeast OPEN | | | Daniel C. Jeffares, Clemency Jolly, Mimoza Hoti, Doug Speed, Liam Shaw, Charalampos Rallis, Francois Balloux, Christophe Dessimoz, Jürg Bähler and Fritz J. Sedlazeck | | | Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has diverse traits. Jeffares et al. characterize large copy number variations (CNVs) and rearrangements in S. pombe, and show that CNVs are transient with effects on quantitative traits and gene expression, whereas rearrangements influence intrinsic reproductive isolation. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14061 | | |
| Earth’s changing global atmospheric energy cycle in response to climate change OPEN | | | Yefeng Pan, Liming Li, Xun Jiang, Gan Li, Wentao Zhang, Xinyue Wang and Andrew P. Ingersoll | | | The long-term Lorenz energy cycle of Earth’s global remains poorly explored. Here, the authors use three independent meteorological data sets from the modern satellite era (1979–2013) to examine the temporal characteristics of such a cycle. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14367 | | |
| Snf1-related kinase improves cardiac mitochondrial efficiency and decreases mitochondrial uncoupling OPEN | | | Amy K. Rines, Hsiang-Chun Chang, Rongxue Wu, Tatsuya Sato, Arineh Khechaduri, Hidemichi Kouzu, Jason Shapiro, Meng Shang, Michael A. Burke, Xinghang Jiang, Chunlei Chen, Tenley A. Rawlings, Gary D. Lopaschuk, Paul T. Schumacker, E. Dale Abel and Hossein Ardehali | | | The Snf1-related kinase (SNRK) is widely expressed and yet its function is poorly understood. Here the authors show that SNRK regulates mitochondrial coupling via the Trib3-PPARα-UCP3 pathway and that cardiac overexpression of SNRK decreases metabolic substrate usage and oxygen consumption but maintains cardiac function and energy in mice. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14095 | | |
| Telomeres in ICF syndrome cells are vulnerable to DNA damage due to elevated DNA:RNA hybrids OPEN | | | Shira Sagie, Shir Toubiana, Stella R. Hartono, Hagar Katzir, Aya Tzur-Gilat, Shany Havazelet, Claire Francastel, Guillaume Velasco, Frédéric Chédin and Sara Selig | | | ICF syndrome cells exhibit shortened telomeres and elevated levels of the noncoding RNA TERRA. Here the authors show this is associated with high levels of DNA damage, suggesting an increase in telomere dysfunction due to the formation of DNA: RNA hybrids | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14015 | | |
| Dietary cholesterol promotes repair of demyelinated lesions in the adult brain OPEN | | | Stefan A. Berghoff, Nina Gerndt, Jan Winchenbach, Sina K. Stumpf, Leon Hosang, Francesca Odoardi, Torben Ruhwedel, Carolin Böhler, Benoit Barrette, Ruth Stassart, David Liebetanz, Payam Dibaj, Wiebke Möbius, Julia M. Edgar and Gesine Saher | | | Cholesterol is important for axonal myelination during development. Here the authors show that cholesterol levels are reduced in a cuprizone mouse model of multiple sclerosis and that dietary cholesterol supplementation enhances remyelination and recovery. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14241 | | |
| Temporal and compartment-specific signals coordinate mitotic exit with spindle position OPEN | | | Ayse Koca Caydasi, Anton Khmelinskii, Rafael Duenas-Sanchez, Bahtiyar Kurtulmus, Michael Knop and Gislene Pereira | | | The mitotic exit network (MEN) triggers mitotic exit and can be blocked by the spindle position checkpoint (SPOC). Here the authors show that SPOC kinase Kin4 counterbalances MEN activation by the Cdc fourteen early anaphase release (FEAR) network in the mother cell and that in the absence of FEAR mitotic exit requires daughter cell-confined factors. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14129 | | |
| Mineral inclusions in diamonds may be synchronous but not syngenetic OPEN | | | Fabrizio Nestola, Haemyeong Jung and Lawrence A. Taylor | | | Trapped mineral inclusions in diamonds give information on diamond crystallization and ages, under the assumption that they are syngenetic (formed simultaneously). Here, the authors show evidence that many mineral inclusions are protogenetic (formed at different times) thus undermining previous diamond ages. | | | 24 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14168 | | |
| MetaSort untangles metagenome assembly by reducing microbial community complexity OPEN | | | Peifeng Ji, Yanming Zhang, Jinfeng Wang and Fangqing Zhao | | | Currently available metagenomic data analysis relies on reference genomes. Here, the authors describe a new de novo metagenomic assembly method, metaSort, that constructs bacterial genomes from metagenomic samples to reduce microbial community complexity while increasing genome recovery and assembly. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14306 | | |
| MicroRNA-141 suppresses prostate cancer stem cells and metastasis by targeting a cohort of pro-metastasis genes OPEN | | | Can Liu, Ruifang Liu, Dingxiao Zhang, Qu Deng, Bigang Liu, Hsueh-Ping Chao, Kiera Rycaj, Yoko Takata, Kevin Lin, Yue Lu, Yi Zhong, John Krolewski, Jianjun Shen and Dean G. Tang | | | MicroRNAs have important roles in regulating tumor development, progression and metastasis. Here, the authors demonstrate the tumor-suppressive functions of miRNA141 in prostate cancer stem cells mediated by directly targeting CD44, Rho GTPase protein family members, and EZH2. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14270 | | |
| A metastable liquid melted from a crystalline solid under decompression OPEN | | | Chuanlong Lin, Jesse S. Smith, Stanislav V. Sinogeikin, Yoshio Kono, Changyong Park, Curtis Kenney-Benson and Guoyin Shen | | | It is experimentally challenging to observe an intermediate liquid in solid–solid phase transitions due to short lifetimes of the resulting metastable states. Here, Lin et al. show that a metastable bismuth liquid can be formed from a crystalline solid through decompression and maintained for hours. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14260 | | |
| Wafer-scale integration of sacrificial nanofluidic chips for detecting and manipulating single DNA molecules OPEN | | | Chao Wang, Sung-Wook Nam, John M. Cotte, Christopher V. Jahnes, Evan G. Colgan, Robert L. Bruce, Markus Brink, Michael F. Lofaro, Jyotica V. Patel, Lynne M. Gignac, Eric A. Joseph, Satyavolu Papa Rao, Gustavo Stolovitzky, Stanislav Polonsky and Qinghuang Lin | | | The wide use of microfluidics for biological analysis demands scalable preparation methods, yet in practice it is very challenging. Here, Wang et al. show a wafer-scale fabrication of nanofluidic chips with single-digit nanometre dimension, which is compatible with standard semiconductor processing. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14243 | | |
| Sec3 promotes the initial binary t-SNARE complex assembly and membrane fusion OPEN | | | Peng Yue, Yubo Zhang, Kunrong Mei, Shaoxiao Wang, Johannes Lesigang, Yueyao Zhu, Gang Dong and Wei Guo | | | Membrane fusion during exocytosis is mediated by interaction between SNARE proteins on vesicles and the cell membrane, but how SNARE complex assembly is initiated remains unknown. Here, the authors show that interaction of Sec3 with Sso2 on the plasma membrane promotes formation of an Sso2–Sec9 complex, an early step in SNARE assembly, likely by inhibiting Sso2 auto-inhibition. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14236 | | |
| Synchronous deglacial thermocline and deep-water ventilation in the eastern equatorial Pacific OPEN | | | Natalie E. Umling and Robert C. Thunell | | | Potential age model problems with marine Δ14C records have obscured our understanding of the role of the deep-ocean in deglacial atmospheric CO2 rise. Here, the authors show that deglacial ventilation of EEP thermocline and deep waters occurred synchronously and was coeval with changes in Atlantic records. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14203 | | |
| A human immunodeficiency syndrome caused by mutations in CARMIL2 OPEN | | | T. Schober, T. Magg, M. Laschinger, M. Rohlfs, N. D. Linhares, J. Puchalka, T. Weisser, K. Fehlner, J. Mautner, C. Walz, K. Hussein, G. Jaeger, B. Kammer, I. Schmid, M. Bahia, S. D. Pena, U. Behrends, B. H. Belohradsky, C. Klein and F. Hauck et al. | | | CARMIL2 (Rltpr) is involved in T-cell function. Here, the authors identify human CARMIL2-deficiency as an autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by EBV+ smooth muscle tumours, CD28 co-signalling deficiency and impaired cytoskeletal dynamics. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14209 | | |
| Transformable topological mechanical metamaterials OPEN | | | D. Zeb Rocklin, Shangnan Zhou, Kai Sun and Xiaoming Mao | | | Here Rocklin et al. propose a design principle using operations that cost little energy and realize mechanical metamaterials that can be easily and reversibly transformed between states with different mechanical and acoustic properties. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14201 | | |
| Transitional changes in the CRP structure lead to the exposure of proinflammatory binding sites OPEN | | | David Braig, Tracy L. Nero, Hans-Georg Koch, Benedict Kaiser, Xiaowei Wang, Jan R.

Parker, Karlheinz Peter and Steffen U. Eisenhardt | | | C-reactive protein is a pentameric protein secreted by the liver in response to injury and infection. Here Braig et al. show that conformational changes in CRP on the surface of monocyte-derived microvesicles enable binding of complement C1q and lead to activation of the complement cascade and aggravation of inflammation. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14188 | | |
| Divergent prion strain evolution driven by PrPC expression level in transgenic mice OPEN | | | Annick Le Dur, Thanh Lan Laï, Marie-George Stinnakre, Aude Laisné, Nathalie Chenais, Sabine Rakotobe, Bruno Passet, Fabienne Reine, Solange Soulier, Laetitia Herzog, Gaëlle Tilly, Human Rézaei, Vincent Béringue, Jean-Luc Vilotte and Hubert Laude | | | PrPC protein plays a key role in prion transmission across species. Here, the authors compare transmission of a representative scrapie isolate to transgenic mice expressing variable levels of the same Prnp allele as the donor sheep, and find divergent strain propagation regulated by PrPC gene dosage. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14170 | | |
| Mechanotransductive cascade of Myo-II-dependent mesoderm and endoderm invaginations in embryo gastrulation OPEN | | | Démosthène Mitrossilis, Jens-Christian Röper, Damien Le Roy, Benjamin Driquez, Aude Michel, Christine Ménager, Gorky Shaw, Simon Le Denmat, Laurent Ranno, Frédéric Dumas-Bouchiat, Nora M. Dempsey and Emmanuel Farge | | | Mechanical signals regulate tissue differentiation but how this triggers downstream biochemical signals is unclear. Here, the authors place micro-magnets in the Drosophila embryonic epithelia and show this triggers apical pulsations, in turn stabilizing Myosin-II, resulting in mesoderm invagination. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms13883 | | |
| Spatially integrative metrics reveal hidden vulnerability of microtidal salt marshes OPEN | | | Neil K. Ganju, Zafer Defne, Matthew L. Kirwan, Sergio Fagherazzi, Andrea D’Alpaos and Luca Carniello | | | Point measurements have historically been used to assess salt marsh vulnerability; however, these metrics do not integrate over the necessary spatiotemporal scales. Here, the authors show that two geomorphic-based, spatiotemporally integrative metrics reveal vulnerability not captured by traditional metrics. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14156 | | |
| mTORC1 inhibition in cancer cells protects from glutaminolysis-mediated apoptosis during nutrient limitation OPEN | | | Victor H. Villar, Tra Ly Nguyen, Vanessa Delcroix, Silvia Terés, Marion Bouchecareilh, Bénédicte Salin, Clément Bodineau, Pierre Vacher, Muriel Priault, Pierre Soubeyran and Raúl V. Durán | | | Inhibitors of the mTORC1 pathway are considered anti-cancer drugs. Here, the authors show that on nutrient restriction, glutaminolysis-induced activation of mTORC1 induces apoptosis via inhibiting autophagy, highlighting that under such conditions inhibition of mTORC1 results in survival of cancer cells. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14124 | | |
| A cell-based computational model of early embryogenesis coupling mechanical behaviour and gene regulation OPEN | | | Julien Delile, Matthieu Herrmann, Nadine Peyriéras and René Doursat | | | Embryonic development is a complex process where genetic and biochemical information direct morphogenesis. Here the authors describe MecaGen, an agent-based model and simulation platform of multicellular development designed to allow a quantitative comparison between simulations and real biological data. | | | 23 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms13929 | | |
| Humans rather than climate the primary cause of Pleistocene megafaunal extinction in Australia OPEN | | | Sander van der Kaars, Gifford H. Miller, Chris S. M. Turney, Ellyn J. Cook, Dirk Nürnberg, Joachim Schönfeld, A. Peter Kershaw and Scott J. Lehman | | | Megafaunal extinction in Australia has been attributed to both climate change and human causation. Here, van der Kaars et al. present a 150,000 year record offshore southwest Australia in which they refine the timing and nature of regional ecosystem changes and megafaunal population collapse. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14142 | | |
| Rapid adaptive phenotypic change following colonization of a newly restored habitat OPEN | | | Camilla Lo Cascio Sætre, Charles Coleiro, Martin Austad, Mark Gauci, Glenn-Peter Sætre, Kjetil Lysne Voje and Fabrice Eroukhmanoff | | | Rapid local adaptation could potentially facilitate the recolonization of restored habitats. Here, the authors show that reed warblers have undergone substantial adaptive change in body mass in only 19 years after colonizing a restored wetland in Malta. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14159 | | |
| Brain microvasculature defects and Glut1 deficiency syndrome averted by early repletion of the glucose transporter-1 protein OPEN | | | Maoxue Tang, Guangping Gao, Carlos B. Rueda, Hang Yu, David N. Thibodeaux, Tomoyuki Awano, Kristin M. Engelstad, Maria-Jose Sanchez-Quintero, Hong Yang, Fanghua Li, Huapeng Li, Qin Su, Kara E. Shetler, Lynne Jones, Ryan Seo, Jonathan McConathy, Elizabeth M. Hillman, Jeffrey L. Noebels, Darryl C. De Vivo and Umrao R. Monani et al. | | | Glut1-deficiency syndrome is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by low brain glucose and epileptic seizures. Tang et al. show that in model mice, low Glut1 leads to defects of the brain vasculature, and that AAV9-based gene therapy at pre- or early-symptomatic stages prevents the defects and mitigates disease. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14152 | | |
| Imperfect two-dimensional topological insulator field-effect transistors OPEN | | | William G. Vandenberghe and Massimo V. Fischetti | | | A challenge of using 2D materials for nanoelectronic devices is the need for defect-free lattice supporting efficient carrier transport. Here, the authors show theoretically that 2D topological insulators enable high-performance, low-power field-effect transistors without requiring defect-free materials. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14184 | | |

Winzeler and Daniel E. Goldberg | | | Pepstatin is a known inhibitor of malarial proteases, but its activity varies between sources. Here, Istvan et al. identify a pepstatin ester as the active component of pepstatin preparations and show that this prodrug is activated by a Plasmodium esterase, mutation of which can confer resistance to pepstatin and other compounds. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14240 | | |
| Selective gating to vibrational modes through resonant X-ray scattering OPEN | | | Rafael C. Couto, Vinícius V.

Guimarães, Hans Ågren, Faris Gel’mukhanov, Michael Odelius, Victor Kimberg and Alexander Föhlisch | | | Investigating dynamics of polyatomic molecules is difficult as their potential energy surfaces are multidimensional due to coupled degrees of freedom. Here the authors demonstrate a spatial selective gating technique to probe the different vibrational modes of water upon core-level excitation with X-rays. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14165 | | |
| Anthropogenic ecosystem disturbance and the recovery debt OPEN | | | David Moreno-Mateos, Edward B. Barbier, Peter C. Jones, Holly P. Jones, James Aronson, José A. López-López, Michelle L. McCrackin, Paula Meli, Daniel Montoya and José M. Rey Benayas | | | Recovery of damaged ecosystems can vary in time and extent. Here, Moreno-Mateos and colleagues perform a meta-analysis to describe and quantify what they call recovery debt, an interim reduction in biodiversity, populations, and biogeochemical function of ecosystems during the recovery process. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14163 | | |
| A robust and tuneable mid-infrared optical switch enabled by bulk Dirac fermions OPEN | | | Chunhui Zhu, Fengqiu Wang, Yafei Meng, Xiang Yuan, Faxian Xiu, Hongyu Luo, Yazhou Wang, Jianfeng Li, Xinjie Lv, Liang He, Yongbing Xu, Junfeng Liu, Chao Zhang, Yi Shi, Rong Zhang and Shining Zhu | | | Mid-infrared pulsed sources are technologically important for sensing and spectroscopy but their implementation is challenging due to the lack of a tuneable optical switch. Here, the authors address this limitation by engineering the band structure of an emerging Dirac semimetal, Cd3As2. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14111 | | |
| Improper electric polarization in simple perovskite oxides with two magnetic sublattices OPEN | | | Hong Jian Zhao, L. Bellaiche, Xiang Ming Chen and Jorge Íñiguez | | | Magnetically-driven ferroelectricity holds the key for novel multiferroic effects in perovskite oxides, but it remains poorly understood. Here, Zhao et al. determine the dominant magnetostructural couplings that yield improper ferroelectricity in a generic perovskite with two spin sublattices. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14025 | | |

Chalker, Vojislava Grbic, Rachel Green, Rima Menassa, Heather L. True, James B. Skeath and Sergej Djuranovic | | | Hypomorphic mutations are a valuable tool for analysing gene function, but current methods have difficult to predict effects on gene expression and are organism specific. Here the authors present a pan-species approach using variable polyA tracks to modulate expression of a target protein. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14112 | | |

Kee, Fuzhi Huang, Yi-Bing Cheng, Martin Green, Anita Ho-Baillie, Shujuan Huang, Santosh Shrestha, Robert Patterson and Gavin Conibeer | | | Slow cooling of hot charge carriers in lead halide perovskite could be used in photovoltaics devices. Here, Yang et al. study hot carrier dynamics by transient absorption spectroscopy. They relate the phonon bottleneck to the up-conversion of low-energy phonons, facilitated by the presence of organic cations. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14120 | | |
| The shape of telephone cord blisters OPEN | | | Yong Ni, Senjiang Yu, Hongyuan Jiang and Linghui He | | | Telephone cord blisters constitute a well-known example of patterns generated following buckling in thin films. Here the authors develop an analytical approach that can model the sectional height profiles along the blisters that they measure experimentally and simulate numerically. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14138 | | |
| Quantum interference between transverse spatial waveguide modes OPEN | | | Aseema Mohanty, Mian Zhang, Avik Dutt, Sven Ramelow, Paulo Nussenzveig and Michal Lipson | | | Practical implementations of quantum photonic circuits consist primarily of large waveguide networks to path-encode information. Here, Mohanty et al. demonstrate quantum interference between transverse spatial modes in a single silicon nitride waveguide, enabling robust quantum information processing. | | | 20 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14010 | | |

Here, the authors show that IL-35 is overexpressed by human pancreatic cancer cells and show, in a mouse model, that IL-35 promotes metastasis in an autocrine/paracrine manner via induction of ICAM-1 expression. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14035 | | |
| Indefinitely stable iron(IV) cage complexes formed in water by air oxidation OPEN | | | Stefania Tomyn, Sergii I. Shylin, Dmytro Bykov, Vadim Ksenofontov, Elzbieta Gumienna-Kontecka, Volodymyr Bon and Igor O. Fritsky | | | High-valent iron compounds do not form spontaneously under ambient conditions and those that are synthetically available are rarely stable. Here, the authors synthesize stable iron(IV) hexahydrazide clathrochelate complexes in aqueous media via a metal-templated reaction accompanied by aerobic oxidation. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14099 | | |
| Optimality and sub-optimality in a bacterial growth law OPEN | | | Benjamin D. Towbin, Yael Korem, Anat Bren, Shany Doron, Rotem Sorek and Uri Alon | | | Organisms improve their fitness by adjusting their gene expression to the environment, for example bacteria scale the expression of metabolic enzymes near linearly to their growth rate. Here, the authors show that such linear scaling often maximizes growth rate, but that linear scaling is suboptimal under some conditions. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14123 | | |
| α3 Chains of type V collagen regulate breast tumour growth via glypican-1 OPEN | | | Guorui Huang, Gaoxiang Ge, Valerio Izzi and Daniel S. Greenspan | | | Collagen has a role in cancer and is particularly important for breast cancer. Here the authors show that the expression of α3 type V collagen and one of its receptors- glipican-1- in the same cell, contributes to a deregulated growth of breast cancer cells. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14351 | | |

Here, the authors demonstrate a vulnerability of SMARCA4-deficient lung cancers for Aurora kinase A inhibition associated with mitotic defects. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14098 | | |
| Gα13 negatively controls osteoclastogenesis through inhibition of the Akt-GSK3β-NFATc1 signalling pathway OPEN | | | Mengrui Wu, Wei Chen, Yun Lu, Guochun Zhu, Liang Hao and Yi-Ping Li | | | Osteoclasts are bone resorptive cells and an attractive target to treat diseases characterized by excessive bone loss, but little is known about osteoclast inhibition. Here the authors identify Gα13 as an intracellular inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis that can prevent bone loss in mice via Akt activation and inhibition of RhoA signalling. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms13700 | | |
| Drosophila FIT is a protein-specific satiety hormone essential for feeding control OPEN | | | Jinghan Sun, Chang Liu, Xiaobing Bai, Xiaoting Li, Jingyun Li, Zhiping Zhang, Yunpeng Zhang, Jing Guo and Yan Li | | | Protein feeding is known to induce strong inhibition on further food intake, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, the authors identify a protein-specific satiety hormone in Drosophila, and show that it suppresses feeding via promoting DILP2 release in the central nervous system. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14161 | | |
| Glucocorticoid receptor signalling activates YAP in breast cancer OPEN | | | Giovanni Sorrentino, Naomi Ruggeri, Alessandro Zannini, Eleonora Ingallina, Rebecca Bertolio, Carolina Marotta, Carmelo Neri, Elisa Cappuzzello, Mattia Forcato, Antonio Rosato, Miguel Mano, Silvio Bicciato and Giannino Del Sal | | | Activation of YAP contributes to tumorigenesis in several tissues. Here, the authors show that in breast cancer cells glucocorticoids induce expression of fibronectin that in turn activates focal adhesion kinase/Src signalling to promote YAP nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14073 | | |

Here the authors develop an approach combining viral-based transynaptic tracing labeling and whole brain imaging to trace synaptic innervation of human neurons transplanted into a mouse background. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14162 | | |
| Consistent negative response of US crops to high temperatures in observations and crop models OPEN | | | Bernhard Schauberger, Sotirios Archontoulis, Almut Arneth, Juraj Balkovic, Philippe Ciais, Delphine Deryng, Joshua Elliott, Christian Folberth, Nikolay Khabarov, Christoph Müller, Thomas A. M. Pugh, Susanne Rolinski, Sibyll Schaphoff, Erwin Schmid, Xuhui Wang, Wolfram Schlenker and Katja Frieler | | | Future agricultural productivity is threatened by high temperatures. Here, using 9 crop models, Schauberger et al. find that yield losses due to temperatures >30 °C are captured by current models where yield losses by mild heat stress occur mainly due to water stress and can be buffered by irrigation. | | | 19 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms13931 | | |

| MECP2 regulates cortical plasticity underlying a learned behaviour in adult female mice OPEN | | | Keerthi Krishnan, Billy Y. B. Lau, Gabrielle Ewall, Z. Josh Huang and Stephen D. Shea | | | Rett syndrome is associated with impaired synaptic connectivity beginning in early development. Here the authors show in female mice heterozygous for Mecp2, a model of Rett syndrome, that during adulthood, auditory cortex plasticity associated with a learned maternal behaviour is also impaired. | | | 18 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14077 | | |
| Highly thermal-stable ferromagnetism by a natural composite OPEN | | | Tianyu Ma, Junming Gou, Shanshan Hu, Xiaolian Liu, Chen Wu, Shuai Ren, Hui Zhao, Andong Xiao, Chengbao Jiang, Xiaobing Ren and Mi Yan | | | Magnetism deterioration is usually expected in all ferromagnetic materials with increasing temperature. Here, Ma et al. report a Fe-Ga alloy with highly thermal-stable magnetization up to 880 K and with nearly no deterioration over a wide temperature range in magnetostriction. | | | 18 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms13937 | | |

Here, using genomic analyses, the authors find that the tumours harbour mutations in genes involved in the NF-κB signalling pathway or overexpress a viral oncoprotein, latent membrane protein 1. | | | 18 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14121 | | |
| Origin and evolution of the deep thermochemical structure beneath Eurasia OPEN | | | N. Flament, S. Williams, R. D. Müller, M. Gurnis and D. J. Bower | | | The Perm anomaly is found in the lower mantle beneath Eurasia, but how this structure formed has remained unclear. Here, the authors show that the anomaly has been mobile since it formed in isolation within a closed subduction network and propose that the anomaly is linked to the Emeishan volcanics. | | | 18 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14164 | | |
| Dynamical observations on the crack tip zone and stress corrosion of two-dimensional MoS2 OPEN | | | Thuc Hue Ly, Jiong Zhao, Magdalena Ola Cichocka, Lain-Jong Li and Young Hee Lee | | | How well the linear elastic fracture picture holds at small length scales and systems with reduced dimensionality remains an active area of inquiry.

| Expression of the novel maternal centrosome assembly factor Wdr8 is required for vertebrate embryonic mitoses OPEN | | | Daigo Inoue, Manuel Stemmer, Thomas Thumberger, Thomas Ruppert, Felix Bärenz, Joachim Wittbrodt and Oliver J. Gruss | | | The assembly of the first centrosome occurs upon fertilisation when male centrioles recruit pericentriolar material from the egg cytoplasm. Here the authors identify Wdr8 as a maternally essential protein that is required for centrosome assembly during embryonic mitoses of medaka. | | | 18 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14090 | | |
| Nanoparticle-induced unusual melting and solidification behaviours of metals OPEN | | | Chao Ma, Lianyi Chen, Chezheng Cao and Xiaochun Li | | | A material with a deep melted zone (MZ) but small heat-affected zone (HAZ) is ideal for manufacturing, but improving one zone comes at the expense of the other. Here, the authors resolve this contradiction in metals by adding nanoparticles, which change the metals’ properties in such a way that both expands MZ and minimizes HAZ. | | | 18 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14178 | | |

Bidochka | | | The endophytic fungus Metarhizium robertsii is also an insect pathogen and can facilitate transfer of insect-derived nitrogen to host plants. Here, the authors show that carbon is transferred from plant to fungus suggesting a tripartite interaction where nitrogen is exchanged for photosynthate. | | | 18 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14245 | | |
| The geometric nature of weights in real complex networks OPEN | | | Antoine Allard, M. Ángeles Serrano, Guillermo García-Pérez and Marián Boguñá | | | Complex networks have been conjectured to be hidden in metric spaces, which offer geometric interpretation of networks’ topologies. Here the authors extend this concept to weighted networks, providing empirical evidence on the metric natures of weights, which are shown to be reproducible by a gravity model. | | | 18 January 2017 | doi: 10.1038/ncomms14103 | | |
