Multiple axons and actions with PSD-95
Nitric oxide gets neurons together. And it seems to do it backward. Work by Nikonenko et al. suggests that a protein called PSD-95 prompts nitric oxide release from postsynaptic dendritic spines, prompting nearby presynaptic axons to lock on, and develop new synapses. It is becoming increasingly clear that synaptogenesis is not solely axon driven. PSD-95 is a major component of postsynaptic den...
متن کاملResults Psd-95 Shrna
To address the unsolved question of PSD-95 function I used short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to knock-down protein expression. shRNA mediated knock-down of protein expression is one of the established methods exploiting the naturally occurring expression control mechanism known as RNA interference (RNAi). Cells express shRNAs that are complementary to the mRNA they control. The shRNAs are processed and...

متن کاملDelineation of additional PSD-95 binding domains within NMDA receptor NR2 subunits reveals differences between NR2A/PSD-95 and NR2B/PSD-95 association.
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are clustered at synapses via their association with the PSD-95 (post-synaptic density-95) membrane associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family of scaffolding proteins. PSD-95 is the best characterized of this family. It is known to associate with NMDA receptor NR2 subunits via a conserved ES(E/D)V amino acid sequence located at their C-termini and thus to p...
متن کاملPSD-95 uncouples dopamine-glutamate interaction in the D1/PSD-95/NMDA receptor complex.
Classical dopaminergic signaling paradigms and emerging studies on direct physical interactions between the D(1) dopamine (DA) receptor and the NMDA glutamate receptor predict a reciprocally facilitating, positive feedback loop. This loop, if not controlled, may cause concomitant overactivation of both D(1) and NMDA receptors, triggering neurotoxicity. Endogenous protective mechanisms must exis...
