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. | | 15 Jan | Nat Commun 4:1357 doi:10.1038/ncomms2359 (2013) | | Chemical sciences Materials science | | Organic chemistry | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,163 kB) | Supplementary Information |
Multiphoton quantum interference in a multiport integrated photonic device | | Benjamin J. Metcalf, Nicholas Thomas-Peter, Justin B. Spring, Dmytro Kundys, Matthew A. Broome, Peter C. Humphreys, Xian-Min Jin, Marco Barbieri, W. Steven Kolthammer, James C. Gates, Brian J. Smith, Nathan K. Langford, Peter G.R. Smith and Ian A. Walmsley | | 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. | | 15 Jan | Nat Commun 4:1356 doi:10.1038/ncomms2349 (2013) | | Physical sciences Applied physics | | Optical physics | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (716 kB) | Supplementary Information |
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. | | 15 Jan | Nat Commun 4:1355 doi:10.1038/ncomms2346 (2013) | | Biological sciences Molecular biology | | | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (3,875 kB) | Supplementary Information |
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. | | 15 Jan | Nat Commun 4:1354 doi:10.1038/ncomms2345 (2013) | | Biological sciences Cancer | | Cell biology | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (2,755 kB) | Supplementary Information |
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. | | 15 Jan | Nat Commun 4:1353 doi:10.1038/ncomms2358 (2013) | | Biological sciences Biophysics | | Molecular biology | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,190 kB) | Supplementary Information |

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.

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. | | 15 Jan | Nat Commun 4:1350 doi:10.1038/ncomms2356 (2013) | | Biological sciences Biophysics | | Neuroscience | | Abstract | Full Text | PDF (2,132 kB) | Supplementary Information |
