Articles Top Clonal evolution in breast cancer revealed by single nucleus genome sequencing Yong Wang, Jill Waters, Marco L. Leung, Anna Unruh, Whijae Roh + et al. To investigate genomic diversity within tumours, a new type of whole-genome and exome single cell sequencing has been developed using G2/M nuclei, the technique was used to sequence single nuclei from an oestrogen-positive breast cancer and a triple-negative ductal carcinoma aneuploidy rearrangements emerged as early events in tumour formation and then point mutations evolved gradually over time.

The COP9 signalosome (CSN) complex regulates cullin RING E3 ubiquitin ligases the largest class of ubiquitin ligase enzymes, which are involved in a multitude of regulatory processes, here, the crystal structure of the entire human CSN holoenzyme is presented.

The three-dimensional structure of intact human -secretase complex at 4.5 Å resolution is revealed by cryo-electron-microscopy single-particle analysis, the complex comprises a horseshoe-shaped transmembrane domain containing 19 transmembrane segments, and a large extracellular domain from nicastrin, which sits immediately above the hollow space formed by the horseshoe. Letters Top The origin of the local 1/4-keV X-ray flux in both charge exchange and a hot bubble M. Galeazzi, M. Chiao, M. R. Collier, T. Cravens, D. Koutroumpa + et al. The contribution of solar-wind ions exchanging electrons with helium and hydrogen near the Sun is shown to be only about 40 per cent of the 1/4-keV X-ray flux observed in the Galactic plane, this supports the existence of a local hot bubble filled with X-ray-emitting gas, accounting for the rest of the flux. Cohesive forces prevent the rotational breakup of rubble-pile asteroid (29075) 1950 DA Ben Rozitis, Eric MacLennan & Joshua P. Emery Modelling and observations of the kilometre-sized asteroid (29075) 1950 DA reveal it to be a rubble pile that is rotating faster than is allowed by gravity and friction, cohesive forces such as those in lunar regolith are required to prevent it breaking up.
