Rab12 was identified as a key modulator of LRRK2-dependent Rab phosphorylation that mediates the recruitment of LRRK2 to lysosomes in response to damage.

Activating mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 cause Parkinson’s disease, and an unbiased genome-wide screen revealed an unexpected, specific role for Rab12 in activating this kinase directly for Rab GTPase phosphorylation.

Phylogenetic and biochemical analysis reveals crucial role of two substitutions in the α–crystallin domain for development of new functionality of IbpA chaperone after the loss of paralogous IbpB in Erwiniaceae.

A geographically and temporally restricted genomic surveillance study concludes that Enterobacterales plasmid dissemination between human and non-human niches might be occurring at greater rates than previously estimated.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex displays robust tracking during strategy execution of a summary statistic for that strategy in recent behavioral history, suggesting a role for this brain region in estimating which actions promote the occurrence of events in the environment.

In hair cells, the development and maintenance of the F-actin-enriched stereocilia and cuticular plates are differentially regulated by transcription factors SRF and MRTFB, and SRF–CNN2 is required for modulating actin dynamics of the stereocilia and cuticular plate.
