Nanoscale Mapping of the Subcellular Glycosylation Landscape

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using multiplexed super‐resolution imaging with fluorophore‐labeled lectins, this study reports intracellular glycosylation at the nanoscale across organelles and synaptic specializations. Extending glycan analysis beyond the cell surface, Glyco‐STORM reveals distinct glycosylation nanodomains in the ER, Golgi, lysosomes, and synaptic sites.

Operant sensation seeking requires metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Pharmacological and genetic studies have suggested that the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is critically involved in mediating the reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse, but not food. The purpose of this study was to use mGluR5 knockout (KO),

Fluorescent and photo-oxidizing TimeSTAMP tags track protein fates in light and electron microscopy. [PDF]

, 2012
Protein synthesis is highly regulated throughout nervous system development, plasticity and regeneration. However, tracking the distributions of specific new protein species has not been possible in living neurons or at the ultrastructural level ...

Vitamin D Regulates Olfactory Function via Dual Transcriptional and mTOR‐Dependent Translational Control of Synaptic Proteins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vitamin D (VitD) modulates olfactory function by remodeling dendrodendritic synapses in tufted cells through vitamin D receptor‐dependent transcriptional and translational mechanisms. VitD regulates synaptic protein translation partially via mTOR signaling.

On the hierarchical classification of G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]

, 2007
Motivation: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play an important role in many physiological systems by transducing an extracellular signal into an intracellular response. Over 50% of all marketed drugs are targeted towards a GPCR.

Uncovering the Lipid Interface in Neurotransmission: Single Molecule Measurements of Neurotransmitters Interacting with Membranes Reveal Species Dependent Membrane Binding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using single‐molecule whispering gallery mode sensors, neurotransmitter‐specific membrane binding signatures are measured that reveal intrinsically distinct interaction kinetics and orientations on a lipid membrane. Abstract Neurotransmitters (NTs) have traditionally been understood to act via aqueous‐phase receptor binding, but growing evidence ...

Regulated Release of BDNF by Cortical Oligodendrocytes is Mediated Through Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and the PLC Pathway

ASN Neuro, 2009
A number of studies suggest that OLGs (oligodendrocytes), the myelinating cells of the central nervous system, are also a source of trophic molecules, such as neurotrophins that may influence survival of proximate neurons.

A population of immature cerebellar parallel fibre synapses are insensitive to adenosine but are inhibited by hypoxia [PDF]

, 2011
The purine adenosine plays an important role in a number of physiological and pathological processes and is neuroprotective during hypoxia and ischemia.

Traceless Regulation of Genetic Circuitry

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Energy‐based, as opposed to molecular, control offers unprecedented improvements in key circuit parameters. This review summarizes the fundamentals of such traceless switches, categorizes them by trigger modalities, and compares and contrasts distinct advantages as well as shortcomings of each kind.
