SOCfinder: a genomic tool for identifying cooperative genes in bacteria

L. Belcher, A. Dewar, C. Hao, Z. Katz, M. Ghoul, S. West

SOCfinder identifies cooperative genes in bacterial genomes by combining extracellular protein coding, functional annotations, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis.

Does the evolution of division of labour require accelerating returns from individual specialisation?

G. Cooper, H. Frost, M. Liu, S. West

The paper investigates factors favoring the evolution of reproductive division of labour in topologically constrained groups and finds it requires coordination and efficiency benefits, but not necessarily accelerating returns from individual specialisation.

Emergent RNA-RNA interactions can promote stability in a nascent phototrophic endosymbiosis

B. H. Jenkins, F. Maguire, G. Leonard, J. D. Eaton, S. West, B. E. Housden, D. S. Milner, T. A. Richards

The paper demonstrates that RNA-RNA interactions mediated by host RNAi can impose a cost on host growth when endosymbionts are digested, promoting stability in a nascent eukaryote-eukaryote endosymbiosis.

Calcium-dependent protein acyltransferase DHHC21 controls activation of CD4+ T cells

B. Shayahati, Y. Fan, S. West, R. Tewari, J. Ko, T. Mills, D. Boehning, A. Akimzhanov

This study identifies DHHC21 as a calcium/calmodulin-dependent enzyme critical for CD4+ T cell activation and differentiation through S-acylation of signaling proteins.

Cooperative interactions among females and even more extraordinary sex ratios

R. Iritani, S. West, J. Abe

The paper investigates how cooperative interactions among females can lead to more extreme female-biased sex ratios than predicted by Hamilton's local mate competition theory, using wasp species as a case study.
