Metabotropic glutamate receptor type 1 autoimmunity [PDF]

open access: yesNeurology, 2016
To describe retrospectively the clinical associations of immunoglobulin G (IgG) targeting metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1-IgG).Specimens of 9 patients evaluated on a service basis in the Mayo Clinic Neuroimmunology Laboratory by tissue-based immunofluorescence assay (IFA) yielded a robust, synaptic immunostaining pattern consistent with ...

Structural Basis of GABAB Receptor Activation during Evolution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the structural and functional mechanisms of the drosophila GABAB receptor, a key role in neurotransmission. Using cryo‐EM, the research reveals how the receptor's activation differs from its human counterpart, highlighting unique evolutionary features.

Genome‐Wide Insights and Polygenic Risk Scores in Common Epilepsies: A Narrative Review

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The research of single gene‐related disorders or pathogenic copy‐number variations (CNVs) has given a significant impetus to the shift from a diagnostic work‐up focused on epileptic syndromes to genomic approaches in individuals with severe pediatric‐onset epilepsies and in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.

Fathoming the kynurenine pathway in migraine: why understanding the enzymatic cascades is still critically important [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Kynurenine pathway, the quantitatively main branch of tryptophan metabolism, has been long been considered a source of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, although several of its products, the so-called kynurenines, are endowed with the capacity to ...

Developing HaloTag and SNAP‐Tag Chemical Inducers of Dimerization to Probe Receptor Oligomerization and Downstream Signaling

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Controlling protein‐protein interactions is critical for dissecting signaling pathways, especially those initiated by ligand‐receptor interactions which alter receptor oligomerization and drive downstream signaling cascades. Traditional methods for driving protein‐protein complexes are using antibodies that face limitations in terms of stoichiometry ...

Soluble Ectodomain of Neuroligin 1 Decreases Synaptic Activity by Activating Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 2

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Synaptic cell adhesion molecules represent important targets for neuronal activity-dependent proteolysis. Postsynaptic neuroligins (NLs) form trans-synaptic complexes with presynaptic neurexins (NXs). Both NXs and NLs are cleaved from the cell surface by

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...
