Disentangling channel gating mechanisms
Kalienkova et al. report structures of an FMRFamide-gated sodium channel (FaNaC) in several functional states, disentangling how different invertebrate receptors recognize similar neuropeptides.

Stabilization of a branch structure would intuitively suggest a direct connection between trunk and bough, but in actin filament networks, cortactin clamps the branching Arp2/3 complex to the daughter filament. This has fundamental consequences for mechanistic understanding of actin branch turnover and cortactin biology.
