Parallel photonic information processing at gigabyte per second data rates using transient states OPEN
Daniel Brunner, Miguel C. Soriano, Claudio R. Mirasso and Ingo Fischer
Inspired by neural networks, reservoir computing uses nonlinear transient states to perform computations, offering faster parallel information processing. Brunner et al. show a photonic approach to reservoir computing capable of simultaneous spoken digit and speaker recognition at high data rates.

Plasmon transport in graphene investigated by time-resolved electrical measurements OPEN
N. Kumada, S. Tanabe, H. Hibino, H. Kamata, M. Hashisaka, K. Muraki and T. Fujisawa
In metals, plasmon properties are fixed once the structure is built, but in graphene they can be altered by electric or magnetic fields. Using electrical time-of-flight measurements, Kumada et al. show wide plasmon velocity tunability in graphene with a varying magnetic field.

Signalling properties of inorganic polyphosphate in the mammalian brain OPEN
Kira M. Holmström, Nephtali Marina, Artyom Y. Baev, Nicholas W. Wood, Alexander V. Gourine and Andrey Y. Abramov
Inorganic polyphosphates have been identified in the central nervous system. Holmström and colleagues examine neuroglial cultures in vitro and cardiorespiratory responses in vivo, and find that inorganic polyphosphates trigger calcium-dependent activation of astrocytes and increase cardiorespiratory activity.

hVps41 and VAMP7 function in direct TGN to late endosome transport of lysosomal membrane proteins
Maaike S. Pols, Eline van Meel, Viola Oorschot, Corlinda ten Brink, Minoru Fukuda, M.G. Swetha, Satyajit Mayor and Judith Klumperman
Delivery of lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs), is important for lysosome stability and function. Here, Pols et al. identify a previously uncharacterized pathway for transport of lysosome-associated membrane proteins LAMPs directly from the trans-golgi network to late endosomes.

Interaction imaging with amplitude-dependence force spectroscopy
Daniel Platz, Daniel Forchheimer, Erik A. Tholén and David B. Haviland
Atomic force microscopy provides surface topography images with atomic resolution, but a quantitative measurement of the force while imaging has been missing. Now, Platz et al. present a method based on modulating the cantilever oscillation amplitude to rapidly measure the interaction between tip and surface.

Different types of synchrony in chaotic and cyclic communities
Lutz Becks and Hartmut Arndt
Natural populations are complex systems where interactions can lead to chaotic dynamics. This study tests how cyclic and chaotic microbial predator–prey communities synchronize, showing different phase-locking responses for cyclic and chaotic systems.

Rab9 and retromer regulate retrograde trafficking of luminal protein required for epithelial tube length control OPEN
Bo Dong, Ken Kakihara, Tetsuhisa Otani, Housei Wada and Shigeo Hayashi
The development of biological tubes is regulated by mutual interactions between cells and luminal extracellular matrix. Dong et al. show that retrograde recycling of luminal chitin deacetylase regulates Drosophila tracheal tubule geometry by restricting length independently of diameter.

Unprecedented high-temperature CO2 selectivity in N2 -phobic nanoporous covalent organic polymers
Hasmukh A. Patel, Sang Hyun Je, Joonho Park, Dennis P. Chen, Yousung Jung, Cafer T. Yavuz and Ali Coskun
Porous materials are well studied for gas capture and separation technologies. Here, the authors report nitrogen-rich, nanoporous polymers, which display very high CO2/N2 selectivity with increasing temperature, which may be attributable to an entropically driven N2-phobicity effect.

Multiphoton quantum interference in a multiport integrated photonic device

For future optical information processing applications, including quantum computing, ever more complex quantum photonic devices are needed. Metcalf et al. present an integrated photonic device capable of three-photon quantum operation, including Hong-Ou-Mandel-type interference between three photons.

A structural basis for streptomycin-induced misreading of the genetic code
Hasan Demirci, Frank Murphy IV, Eileen Murphy, Steven T. Gregory, Albert E. Dahlberg and Gerwald Jogl
The antibiotic streptomycin increases errors in protein translation, but it is unclear how streptomycin exerts its effect on the ribosome. Demirci et al. present X-ray crystal structures that reveal conformational changes induced by streptomycin, which may inspire future efforts in antibiotics design.

Interaction between p68 RNA helicase and Ca2+-calmodulin promotes cell migration and metastasis
Haizhen Wang, Xueliang Gao, Jenny J. Yang and Zhi-Ren Liu
Cell migration requires motor protein-driven delivery of proteins to the leading edge. This study shows that p68 RNA helicase behaves as a microtubule-based motor upon binding calmodulin, and that blocking this interaction inhibits cancer cell metastasis.

Structural insights into protein-only RNase P complexed with tRNA OPEN
Anthony Gobert, Franziska Pinker, Olivier Fuchsbauer, Bernard Gutmann, René Boutin, Pierre Roblin, Claude Sauter and Philippe Giegé
RNase P is a key enzyme implicated in transfer RNA maturation that removes the 5'-leader sequences from transfer RNA precursors. In this study, a biophysical characterization of a novel protein-only variant of RNase P, known as PRORP (PROteinaceous RNase P), reveals that transfer RNA recognition by PRORP is similar to that by ribonucleoprotein RNase P.

Release of SOS2 kinase from sequestration with GIGANTEA determines salt tolerance in Arabidopsis
Woe-Yeon Kim, Zahir Ali, Hee Jin Park, Su Jung Park, Joon-Yung Cha, Javier Perez-Hormaeche, Francisco Javier Quintero, Gilok Shin, Mi Ri Kim, Zhang Qiang, Li Ning, Hyeong Cheol Park, Sang Yeol Lee, Ray A. Bressan, Jose M. Pardo, Hans J. Bohnert and Dae-Jin Yun
The flowering time and clock-related protein GIGANTEA has been broadly implicated in the development and physiology of plants. Kim and colleagues study Arabidopsis and find that GIGANTEA modulates salt stress via the release of the protein kinase SOS2, which is required for salt tolerance.

Visualization and quantification of transition metal atomic mixing in Mo1–x Wx S2 single layers OPEN
Dumitru O Dumcenco, Haruka Kobayashi, Zheng Liu, Ying-Sheng Huang and Kazu Suenaga
Understanding the influence of disorder on the properties of two-dimensional materials is of increasing importance, given the interest in these compounds for electronic applications. Using a scanning transmission electron microscope, Dumcenco et al. quantify the atomic mixing in two-dimensional films of Mo1–xWxS2.

Multiple pore conformations driven by asynchronous movements of voltage sensors in a eukaryotic sodium channel OPEN
Marcel P. Goldschen-Ohm, Deborah L. Capes, Kevin M. Oelstrom and Baron Chanda
In outwardly rectifying potassium channels, depolarization initiates conformational changes in voltage-sensing domains. Goldschen-Ohm et al. find that movement of three specific domains correlates with conductance levels, and rearrangements of a fourth domain results in preinactivation subconductance states.

Transgenerational gene silencing causes gain of virulence in a plant pathogen OPEN
Dinah Qutob, B. Patrick Chapman and Mark Gijzen
Plant pathogens encode effector proteins that trigger immunity in plants carrying appropriate resistance genes. Here Qutob et al. show non-Mendelian interactions between naturally occurring Phytophthora sojae alleles that result in transgenerational gene silencing and gain of virulence in soybean plants.
