Predicting expression patterns from regulatory sequence in Drosophila segmentation p535
The segmentation of the Drosophila melanogaster embryo is a well known
paradigm for pattern formation in development. However, the
quantitative description of the transcriptional control mechanisms
underlying this process is still missing. A new approach to the
problem of predicting the pattern of gene expression based on the cis
regulatory sequence is described. This new algorithm modelling
protein–DNA interactions is likely to prove useful for many other
protein–DNA interaction systems.

A test of the nature of cosmic acceleration using galaxy redshift
distortions pp541-544
A measurement of the radial anisotropy at a redshift z cong 0.8 that
is consistent with the standard cosmological-constant model with low
matter density and flat geometry is reported, although error bars are
still too large to distinguish among alternative origins for the
accelerated expansion.

Origin of morphotropic phase boundaries in ferroelectrics pp545-548
This paper shows that even a pure compound, in this case lead

The results are consistent with first principles theoretical

moreover, the predicted electromechanical coupling at the transition
is larger than any known.

Large contribution of sea surface warming to recent increase in
Atlantic hurricane activity pp557-560
Atlantic hurricane activity has increased since 1995. It is widely
thought that rising Atlantic sea surface temperatures have played a
role in this increase, but the magnitude of this contribution is not
known. The contribution for storms that formed in the tropical North
Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico is quantified using a
statistical model based on two environmental variables: local sea
surface temperature and an atmospheric wind field. It is found that
local sea surface warming was responsible for roughly 40 per cent of
the increase in hurricane activity between 1996 and 2005.

The adaptive significance of temperature-dependent sex determination
in a reptile p566
In mammals and birds, sex is determined by genotype at fertilization,
but reptiles determine the sex of an individual by interaction with
the environment, typically temperature. The Charnov–Bull model
speculates that environmental sex determination will be favoured by
selection if it could be shown that different temperature regimes
maximized reproductive fitness for each sex. This has not been
confirmed, partly because of the difficulty of setting up the
'control' experiment. However, hormone treatments have been used to
overcome this difficulty, and a short-lived species of lizard shows
that the Charnov–Bull model is correct.

Lethargus is a Caenorhabditis elegans sleep-like state p569
It is argued that a quiescence state in nematodes, 'lethargus',
presents many similarities with sleep as defined in mammals and flies.
cGMP signalling is also identified as a new pathway involved in sleep
control in both Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila. As lethargus is
associated with the worm's larval molts, they suggest that sleep may
have evolved to allow for developmental changes.

NLRX1 is a regulator of mitochondrial antiviral immunity p573
Cytoplasmic RIG-like helicases are sensors of viral RNA, and signal
through the mitochondrial adaptor protein MAVS to activate IRF3 and

the NLR family of proteins called NLRX1 is a negative regulator of the
pathway and functions by inhibiting the interaction of the viral
sensor with the MAVS adaptor.

Structure and mechanism of the M2 proton channel of influenza A
virus pp591-595
A vital component of influenza A virus replication machinery is the
M2 proton channel. Until recently, M2 was effectively targeted by
amantadane-based antivirals, but resistance to these drugs is now so
widespread that they have become ineffective. In the first of two
related papers, the structure of a 38-residue segment of M2, in
complex with rimantadine, is determined by NMR spectroscopy. It is
concluded that a rimantadine molecule binds to each monomer at the
protein-lipid interface and inhibits the tetrameric channel
allosterically.

A vital component of influenza A virus replication machinery is the

amantadane-based antivirals, but resistance to these drugs is now so
widespread that they have become ineffective. In the second of two
related manuscripts, the crystal structure of a 25-residue fragment of
M2, both with and without amantadine, is described. It is concluded
that a single amantadine molecule binds in the centre of the M2
tetramer to physically occlude the pore.
