Long-term potentiation through calcium-mediated N-Cadherin interaction is tightly controlled by the three-dimensional architecture of the synapse [PDF]
, 2013 Poster presentation: Twenty Second Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting: CNS*2013. Paris, France. 13-18 July 2013. The synaptic cleft is an extracellular domain that is capable of relaying a presynaptically received electrical signal by diffusive ...

An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

Arrhythmogenesis in Timothy Syndrome is associated with defects in Ca2+-dependent inactivation
Nature Communications, 2016 Timothy Syndrome (TS) is a multisystem disorder caused by two mutations leading to dysfunction of the CaV1.2 channel. Here, Dick et al. uncover a major and mechanistically divergent effect of both mutations on Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent inactivation of ...

ER-Mitochondria contact sites : a new regulator of cellular calcium flux comes into play [PDF]
, 2016 Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria membrane contacts are hotspots for calcium signaling. In this issue, Raturi et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201512077) show that the thioredoxin TMX1 inhibits the calcium pump SERCA2b at ...

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.

Development and in vitro characterization of humanized antibodies for blocking human TRPM4 channel
Scientific ReportsTransient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) channel, a monovalent cation channel, plays a crucial role in various neurological disorders. We previously showed that TRPM4 activity can be blocked by our antibodies: M4P, which targets rat TRPM4 and ...

Detecting stoichiometry of macromolecular complexes in live cells using FRET
Nature Communications, 2016 Measuring thein vivo stoichiometry of protein-protein interactions is challenging. Here the authors take a FRET-based approach, quantifying stoichiometry based on ratiometric comparison of donor and acceptor fluorescence, and apply their method to report

Dendritic spine geometry and spine apparatus organization govern the spatiotemporal dynamics of calcium. [PDF]
, 2019 Dendritic spines are small subcompartments that protrude from the dendrites of neurons and are important for signaling activity and synaptic communication. These subcompartments have been characterized to have different shapes.
