LARGE1 processively polymerizes length-controlled matriglycan on prodystroglycan

LARGE1 glycosyltransferase synthesizes matriglycan (xylose-glucuronate)_n on dystroglycan, and short matriglycan can cause neuromuscular disorders. Authors show that LARGE1 processively polymerizes matriglycan of defined length on prodystroglycan.

Organic magnetoelectroluminescence for room temperature transduction between magnetic and optical information

The small spin-orbit interaction makes transduction between the magnetic and optical information challenging in organic materials. Here, the authors show that the room temperature electroluminescence of an organic material can be controlled by the fringe fields of a nearby magnet.

Seismic imaging of a basaltic Lesser Antilles slab from ancient tectonics

Imaging of the mantle transition zone beneath the Lesser Antilles shows a basalt-rich region within the subducting slab near the proposed location of a subducted extinct spreading ridge, implying ancient tectonics play a role in influencing slab trajectories.

Global diversity and distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in human wastewater treatment systems

Wastewater treatment plants are important reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, the authors analyze ARGs in a global collection of samples from wastewater treatment plants across six continents, providing insights into biotic and abiotic mechanisms that appear to control ARG diversity and distribution.

A case report of multiple primary prostate tumors with differential drug sensitivity

Prostate cancer is often a multifocal disease but how best to manage this clinically remains unclear. Here, the authors report a single case study of a patient with two genetically diverse tumours which showed differential response to therapy.

Genetic predisposition to hypertension is associated with preeclampsia in European and Central Asian women

Studies to identify maternal variants associated with preeclampsia have been limited by sample size. Here, the authors meta-analyze eight GWAS of 9,515 preeclamptic women, identifying five variants associated with preeclampsia and showing that genetic predisposition to hypertension is a major risk factor for preeclampsia.

Fluid-rich extinct volcanoes cause small earthquakes beneath New Zealand

Imaging of a region where an oceanic tectonic plate descends below another plate reveals evidence that fluid-rich extinct volcanoes can help to lubricate the interface between plates — reducing the potential for large earthquakes.

Seismic imaging of melt in a displaced Hawaiian plume

The precise location of the mantle plume upwelling beneath Hawaii is debated. Seismic data reveal a thick layer of melt in the mantle beneath western Hawaii, implying that the upwelling plume may be deflected around an ancient, resistive root beneath the island.

Volcanism in the Afar Rift sustained by decompression melting with minimal plume influence

Continental breakup and volcanism in Afar, Africa, has been linked to mantle plume activity. Seismic imaging of the mantle beneath Afar, however, identifies an increase in seismic velocities at shallow depths that is consistent with decompression melting and magmatism in the absence of strong plume activity today.

Proteolytic processing induces a conformational switch required for antibacterial toxin delivery

Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) is an important mechanism of bacterial competition. Here, Bartelli et al. show that proteolytic processing of a CDI toxin induces a conformational switch required for translocation into target bacteria.

Broad fault zones enable deep fluid transport and limit earthquake magnitudes

Geophysical data from Chain Transform Fault reveal that broad damage zones preferentially facilitate fluid transport that cools the mantle, increasing earthquake depths. Fluids weaken the fault and segment it, limiting earthquake magnitudes.

The initiation of segmented buoyancy-driven melting during continental breakup

Our understanding of melt production during early continental breakup remains poorly constrained. Using the Afar triple junction as an example, Gallacher et al. generate a 3D velocity model suggesting that melt production is highest during early continental breakup due to localised thinning of the crust.

Macroecology and macroevolution of the latitudinal diversity gradient in ants

Multiple hypotheses have been proposed for the declining biodiversity gradient between the tropics and poles. Here, the authors compile and analyze geographic data for all ant species and large-scale phylogenies, suggesting that diversification time drives the latitudinal diversity gradient in ants.
