Inositol Pyrophosphate Metabolism Regulates Presynaptic Vesicle Cycling at Central Synapses
iScience, 2020 Summary: The coordination of synaptic vesicle exocytosis and endocytosis supports neurotransmitter release from presynaptic terminals. Although inositol pyrophosphates, such as 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5-IP7), are versatile signaling ...

Regulation of synaptic connectivity: levels of fasciclin II influence synaptic growth in the Drosophila CNS [PDF]
, 2002 Much of our understanding of synaptogenesis comes from studies that deal with the development of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Although well studied, it is not clear how far the NMJ represents an adequate model for the formation of synapses within ...

Exploring the functional domain and the target of the tetanus toxin light chain in neurohypophysial terminals [PDF]
, 1994 The tetanus toxin light chain blocks calcium induced vasopressin release from neurohypophysial nerve terminals. Here we show that histidine residue 233 within the putative zinc binding motif of the tetanus toxin light chain is essential for the ...

Discerning protein pools by selective staining with self‐labeling tags
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cell surface proteins have an intra‐ and extracellular pool. Combining genetic fusion to self‐labeling tags that can be addressed with small molecule fluorophores allows separating these pools. We highlight recent developments and techniques for state‐of‐the‐art interrogation of cell surface proteins in the complex tissue setting.

Guiding AlphaFold to predict how Munc13‐1 opens Syntaxin‐1
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The syntaxin‐1 Habc‐domain (orange), linker (pink) and SNARE motif (yellow) form a closed conformation that binds to Munc18‐1 (violet) and is opened by the Munc13‐1 MUN domain (cyan) to form the SNARE complex that triggers neurotransmitter release.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Variants in SLC6A1, encoding the GABA transporter 1 (GAT‐1), cause epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental delay via loss of GABA uptake, impaired trafficking, and ER retention. We previously found that 4‐Phenylbutyrate (PBA), an FDA‐approved drug, restores GABA uptake and reduces seizures in SLC6A1‐related disorders ...

Synaptic Transmission: Kinetics of synaptic-vesicle recycling [PDF]
Current Biology, 1995 The kinetics of different steps in synaptic-vesicle recycling, including exocytosis, internalization and repriming, have recently been estimated in various types of living cell.

Molecular Mechanisms of Synaptic Vesicle Degradation [PDF]
, 2016 Neurons rely on precise spatial and temporal control of neurotransmitter release to ensure proper communication. Neurotransmission occurs when synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic compartment fuse with the plasma membrane and release their contents into ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) is a rare, severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. There is a pressing need to develop effective and sustainable therapeutic strategies. We aimed to investigate the causal association between febrile episodes and epileptic seizures for therapeutic implications in CDD patients.

Cryoimmunoelectron microscopic localization of synaptic proteins in nerve terminals and astrocytic cells [PDF]
, 2004 In the present study the cryo-immunogold technique was used and optimized for investigating the ultrastructure and immunolabeling of synaptic proteins. It is evidently a suitable method for the localization of membrane proteins since the antigens are not
