Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Insertion Pool Sequencing for Insertional Mutant Analysis in Complex Host‐Microbe Interactions [PDF]
AbstractInsertional mutant libraries of microorganisms can be applied in negative depletion screens to decipher gene functions. Because of underrepresentation in colonized tissue, one major bottleneck is analysis of species that colonize hosts. To overcome this, we developed insertion pool sequencing (iPool‐Seq).

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

A molecular phylogenetic study of Deschampsia (Poaceae: Aveneae) inferred from nuclear ITS and plastid trnL sequence data: support for the recognition of Avenella and Vahlodea [PDF]
The circumscription and phylogeny of Deschampsia were studied for the first time by parsimony analysis of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid trnL intron sequences.

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome
AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

Rapid and Simple Amplification of Genomic DNA Sequences Flanking Transposon
A rapid and simple method to amplify genomic DNA sequences flanking mini-Tn5 transposon insertion was developed. This technique can be used to determine the location and orientation of the transposon insertion within genomic DNA of the bacteria. Based on

Genome-wide analysis of the emigrant family of MITEs: amplification dynamics and evolution of genes in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
MITEs are structurally similar to defective class II elements but their high copy number and the size and sequence conservation of most MITE families suggest that they can be amplified by a replicative mechanism. Here we present a genome-wide analysis

Sequence analysis reveals extensive polymorphism and evidence of deletions within the E2 glycoprotein gene of several strains of murine hepatitis virus. [PDF]
Direct RNA sequence analysis of the E2 gene of wild-type MHV-4 and of neutralization resistant, neuroattenuated variants has identified a polymorphic region with respect to deletions.

Multiport network analyzer self-calibration: a new approach and some interesting results [PDF]
A new approach to multiport network analyzer calibration is here presented. This solution exploits the redundancy of multiple standards connections in order to perform a multiport self-calibration.
