Nuclear choline acetyltransferase activates transcription of high-affinity choline transporter
Neurosciences research, 2010 Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) synthesizes the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, at cholinergic nerve terminals. ChAT contains nuclear localization signals and is also localized in the nuclei of neural and non-neuronal cells.

Artificial environments for the co-translational stabilization of cell-free expressed proteins [PDF]
, 2013 An approach for designing individual expression environments that reduce or prevent protein aggregation and precipitation is described. Inefficient folding of difficult proteins in unfavorable translation environments can cause significant losses of ...

Choline Acetyltransferase from Rat Brain
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1968 Abstract The localization, purification, and some enzymatic properties of choline acetyltransferase from rat brain were studied. Most assays were performed with a specific radiometric micromethod. Solubilization of the enzyme was examined after homogenization of cerebral cortices by means which disintegrate nerve endings. In isotonic KCl the enzyme was

Cooperative Glutamatergic and Cholinergic Mechanisms Generate Short-Term Modifications of Synaptic Effectiveness in Prepositus Hypoglossi Neurons [PDF]
, 2005 To maintain horizontal eye position on a visual target after a saccade, extraocular motoneurons need a persistent (tonic) neural activity, called "eye-position signal," generated by prepositus hypoglossi (PH) neurons.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Folic acid (FA) and multivitamins/minerals (MVM) are recommended for the prevention of neural tube defects (NTDs). Using a novel human neural tube‐like organoid system and mouse models, the study compares the effectiveness of two supplements on NTDs and cellular behaviors.

The Regulatory Effects of Acetyl-CoA Distribution in the Healthy and Diseased Brain
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Brain neurons, to support their neurotransmitter functions, require a several times higher supply of glucose than non-excitable cells. Pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, through pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction, is a principal source of ...

Viral delivery of antioxidant genes as a therapeutic strategy in experimental models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [PDF]
, 2013 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no effective treatment to date. Despite its multi-factorial aetiology, oxidative stress is hypothesized to be one of the key pathogenic mechanisms.

STING deficiency promotes motor recovery in mice following brachial plexus root avulsion
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.STING deficiency can increase the body weight, promote motor recovery, decrease MN death, inhibit pyroptosis and neuroinflammation, increase remyelination, and reduce the atrophy of the biceps brachii in mice with BPRA. Abstract Background Brachial plexus root avulsion (BPRA), a well‐known form of peripheral nerve injury, results in motor function loss
