LUBAC is essential for embryogenesis by preventing cell death and enabling haematopoiesis
The HOIL-1 component of the LUBAC ubiquitin ligase complex is required for LUBAC activity, which prevents lethality during embryogenesis by preventing aberrant TNFR1-mediated endothelial cell death and RIPK1-mediated defects in haematopoiesis.
Architecture of an HIV-1 reverse transcriptase initiation complex
A cryo-EM structure of an initiation complex of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase sheds light on the initiation of reverse transcription of viral RNA.
Structure of the alternative complex III in a supercomplex with cytochrome oxidase
The structure of alternative complex III, a key enzyme in the bacterial electron transport chain, is reported both alone and as a supercomplex with an aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase.
Cryo-EM structure of the gasdermin A3 membrane pore
High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structures of the membrane-pore-forming domain of the mouse gasdermin GSDMA3 show that it forms pores with 26-, 27- or 28-fold symmetry and indicate that it may also form a parallel, soluble, pre-pore ring structure.
An optical-frequency synthesizer using integrated photonics
An optical-frequency synthesizer based on stabilized frequency combs has been developed utilizing chip-scale devices as key components, in a move towards using integrated photonics technology for ultrafast science and metrology.
Genomic variation in 3,010 diverse accessions of Asian cultivated rice
Analyses of genetic variation and population structure based on over 3,000 cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) genomes reveal subpopulations that correlate with geographic location and patterns of introgression consistent with multiple rice domestication events.
Cryo-EM structure of substrate-bound human telomerase holoenzyme
A cryo-electron microscopy structure of the substrate-bound human telomerase holoenzyme, which lengthens the protective caps on chromosomes.
Deep mitochondrial origin outside the sampled alphaproteobacteria
Genome data for thirteen alphaproteobacteria-related clades expand the coverage of alphaproteobacterial diversity and suggest that mitochondria diverged from Alphaproteobacteria before the diversification of all currently known alphaproteobacterial lineages.
Nanoscale synthesis and affinity ranking
A system that combines nanoscale synthesis and affinity ranking enables high-throughput screening of reaction conditions and bioactivity for a given protein target, accelerating the process of drug discovery.

Quaternary stereocentres via an enantioconvergent catalytic SN1 reaction
Cooperation between a chiral hydrogen-bond-donor catalyst and a strong Lewis-acid promoter in an SN1-type reaction mediates the formation of tertiary carbocations and enables control over enantioselectivity and product distribution.
Alison E. Wendlandt, Prithvi Vangal, Eric N. Jacobsen
Renewing Felsenstein’s phylogenetic bootstrap in the era of big data
A new version of the phylogenetic bootstrap method enables assessment of the robustness of phylogenies that are based on large datasets of hundreds or thousands of taxa.

Identification of the tumour transition states occurring during EMT
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in tumour cells occurs through distinct intermediate states, associated with different metastatic potential, cellular properties, gene expression, and chromatin landscape.

A massive core for a cluster of galaxies at a redshift of 4.3
Observations of carbon monoxide and ionized carbon lines from the source SPT2349-56 show it to contain a cluster of at least fourteen gas-rich galaxies with redshifts of 4.31, in a highly dense core region.
T. B. Miller, S. C. Chapman, M. Aravena et al.
Remote quantum entanglement between two micromechanical oscillators
Remote quantum entanglement is demonstrated in a micromachined solid-state system comprising two optomechanical oscillators across two chips physically separated by 20 cm and with an optical separation of around 70 m.
Ralf Riedinger, Andreas Wallucks, Igor Marinković et al.
Stabilized entanglement of massive mechanical oscillators
Quantum entanglement is demonstrated in a system of massive micromechanical oscillators coupled to a microwave-frequency electromagnetic cavity by driving the devices into a steady state that is entangled.
C. F. Ockeloen-Korppi, E. Damskägg, J.-M. Pirkkalainen et al.
Low-loss plasmon-assisted electro-optic modulator
Ohmic losses in plasmonic devices can be reduced by exploiting ‘resonant switching’, in which light couples to surface plasmon polaritons only when in resonance and bypasses them otherwise.
Christian Haffner, Daniel Chelladurai, Yuriy Fedoryshyn et al.
Earthquake-induced transformation of the lower crust
During continent collision and associated mountain building, a surprisingly large volume of the lower crust is shown to be affected by earthquake aftershocks, producing a top-down effect on crustal geodynamics.
Bjørn Jamtveit, Yehuda Ben-Zion, François Renard et al.
Global warming transforms coral reef assemblages
Acute heat stress from the extended marine heatwave of 2016 is a potent driver of the transformation of coral assemblages, which affects even the most remote and well-protected reefs of the Great Barrier Reef.
Terry P. Hughes, James T. Kerry, Andrew H. Baird et al.
Vertically migrating swimmers generate aggregation-scale eddies in a stratified column
Laboratory experiments with the brine shrimp Artemia salina illustrate the potential for turbulence generated by the diurnal vertical migrations of aggregations of centimetre-scale zooplankton to affect the physical and biogeochemical structure of oceanic water columns.
Isabel A. Houghton, Jeffrey R. Koseff, Stephen G. Monismith et al.
Electrophilic properties of itaconate and derivatives regulate the IκBζ–ATF3 inflammatory axis
The immunoregulatory metabolite itaconate and its dimethyl derivative induce electrophilic stress and react with glutathione to induce both Nrf2-dependent and Nrf2-independent responses, resulting in AF3-mediated inhibition of the inflammation-related protein IκBζ.
Monika Bambouskova, Laurent Gorvel, Vicky Lampropoulou et al.
Genetic identification of leptin neural circuits in energy and glucose homeostases
A subset of neurons in the hypothalamus is identified as the primary site of action for regulating energy balance and glucose homeostasis by leptin.
Jie Xu, Christopher L. Bartolome, Cho Shing Low et al.
Pluripotency factors functionally premark cell-type-restricted enhancers in ES cells
Binding of an embryonic stem cell-specific transcription factor pre-marks cell-type-restricted enhancers in embryonic stem cells, and this premarking is required for the robustness of enhancer activation in differentiated cells.
Hong Sook Kim, Yuliang Tan, Wubin Ma et al.
