Graded synaptic transmission at the Caenorhabditis elegans neuromuscular junction.
Most neurotransmission is mediated by action potentials, whereas sensory neurons propagate electrical signals passively and release neurotransmitter in a graded manner. Here, we demonstrate that Caenorhabditis elegans neuromuscular junctions release neurotransmitter in a graded fashion. When motor neurons were depolarized by light-activation of channelrhodopsin-2, the evoked postsynaptic curren...
متن کاملThe ALS gene FUS regulates synaptic transmission at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction.
Mutations in the RNA binding protein Fused in sarcoma (FUS) are estimated to account for 5-10% of all inherited cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but the function of FUS in motor neurons is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the early functional consequences of overexpressing wild-type or ALS-associated mutant FUS proteins in Drosophila motor neurons, and compare them to phenot...
متن کاملThe Quantal Nature of Synaptic Transmission at the Neuromuscular Junction of a Spider
Spontaneous and evoked release of transmitter at neuromuscular junctions in three different leg muscles of a tarantula (Dugesiella hentzi) was investigated. In most cases the spontaneous miniature potentials were released independently, although bursts from single synaptic junctions occasionally occurred. In contrast to recent findings in other arthropod muscles, focal extracellular recording f...
متن کاملInvestigation of the juxtamembrane region of neuronal-Synaptobrevin in synaptic transmission at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction.
In this study, the juxtamembrane region of the Drosophila SNARE protein neuronal-Synaptobrevin (n-Syb) was tested for its role in synaptic transmission. A transgenic approach was used to express n-Syb mutant genes. The transgenes carried engineered point mutations that alter the amino acid sequence of the conserved tryptophan residues in the juxtamembrane sequence. Such transgenes were expresse...
متن کاملComparison between huperzine A, tacrine, and E2020 on cholinergic transmission at mouse neuromuscular junction in vitro.
AIM To compare the effects of huperzine A (Hup A), tacrine, and E2020 on cholinergic transmission at mouse neuromuscular junction in vitro. METHODS The isolated mouse phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm preparations were used with the conventional intracellular recording technique. The miniature end-plate potentials (MEPP), the mean quantal content of end-plate potentials (EPP), and the resting membr...
