It was summer 2019 in Lund where the EMBO meeting "Bacterial cell division: Closing the gap" was taking place - such a great meeting. Daniela Megrian, who was also participating in the meeting, was our common friend. She introduced us to each other during the first lunch, however this first meeting still did not break the ice. It was only several months later that we decided to embark on this exciting journey of studying the role and function of SepF in archaea. Nika: In 2018 I arrived at the Institut Pasteur in the group of Simonetta Gribaldo to work on the cell growth and division modes in Methanobrevibacter smithii. It is a human-associated methanogenic archaeon that, together with its close relatives, has the peculiarity of possessing a cell wall made out of pseudo-peptidoglycan, which is otherwise absent in archaea.

Kranzusch1,2,8 ✉ Accepted: 21 June 2021 Published online: 14 July 2021 Cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS) is a cytosolic DNA sensor that produces the second Open access messenger cG[2′–5′]pA[3′–5′]p (2′3′-cGAMP) and controls activation of innate Check for updates immunity in mammalian cells1–5. Animal genomes typically encode multiple proteins with predicted homology to cGAS6–10, but the function of these uncharacterized enzymes is unknown. Here we show that cGAS-like receptors (cGLRs) are innate immune sensors that are capable of recognizing divergent molecular patterns and catalysing synthesis of distinct nucleotide second messenger signals. Crystal structures of human and insect cGLRs reveal a nucleotidyltransferase signalling core shared with cGAS and a diversifed primary ligand-binding surface modifed with notable insertions and deletions. We demonstrate that surface remodelling of cGLRs enables altered ligand specifcity and used a forward biochemical screen to identify cGLR1 as a double-stranded RNA sensor in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. We show that RNA recognition activates Drosophila cGLR1 to synthesize the novel product cG[3′–5′]pA[2′–5′]p (3′2′-cGAMP). A crystal structure of Drosophila stimulator of interferon genes (dSTING) in complex with 3′2′-cGAMP explains selective isomer recognition, and 3′2′-cGAMP induces an enhanced antiviral state in vivo that protects from viral infection.

  • Here Was a Pretty Strong Cur- Rent, So I Wrapped a Strand of Kelp Around My Leg to Help Me Stay in One Place, and the Sea Lions Would Take Turns Zooming Past

They were all juveniles that were playing with us, and the left one just looks smaller due to the way they lined up. We were just off Santa Barbara Island, California, and had a unique weather window – a blue sky, sunny day with a flat sea. It doesn’t get much better than that! There was a pretty strong cur- rent, so I wrapped a strand of kelp around my leg to help me stay in one place, and the sea lions would take turns zooming past. The current appeared to have no effect on their movement, which was like a cross between a ballet dancer and a torpedo.” Photographer: David Fleetham Image number: 1582769 Cover Page - Seeing Red Treehopper (Alchisme grossa) Mindo, Pichincha, Ecuador. “Treehoppers are one of the most amazing groups of insects: they have many shapes and colours, usually only live for a few months, and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. I found this orange leaf with approximately 30 treehoppers in a cloud forest of the Ecuadorian Western Slopes. As they are very shy animals they can be tricky to photograph. Moving very slowly, I managed to take this shot, where you can see the shape and colour of the treehop- per, in contrast with the uniformly orange leaf.” Photographer: Lucas Bustamante Image number: 1584710 Sunrise with the Kings King penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) at sunrise, Falklands.

  • Product-Line and Brand Extensions of a Scientific Journal Mahdi Khelfaoui
    Expanding Nature: Product-Line and Brand Extensions of a Scientific Journal Mahdi Khelfaoui ([email protected]) and Yves Gingras ([email protected]) Paper accepted for publication in Learned Publishing Abstract Academic publishers now market their most prestigious journals as commercial brands. This paper investigates this trend in the scholarly publishing market, by analyzing how the successive owners of the journal Nature have capitalized on its reputation to generate additional profits to those already accumulated through university library subscriptions. Two branding strategies of the journal Nature are analyzed: the first one, product-line extension, consists in extending the Nature brand in the same product category, by creating an ever-increasing number of derived Nature journals; the second one, brand extension, consists in extending the Nature brand to other categories of products and services, such as academic rankings, sponsored supplements, feature advertisements, or webinars and trainings. The Nature brand leveraging strategy has been imitated by many other journal publishers. These branded products and services are well suited to the particular dynamics of the scientific field, which is based on the continuous quest for recognition. They are thus sold at all stages of the research cycle, from writing grants to popularizing research results, to scientists and academic institutions competing to accumulate symbolic capital. In this respect, academic publishers that engage in scholarly journal branding contribute to the transformation of the scientific “community” into a scientific market. Introduction After the Second World War, the production of scientific articles and the creation of scholarly journals grew exponentially (Price, 1963). Private companies became significantly involved, along learned scientific societies, in scholarly journal publishing (Fyfe, 2021).
