Neurobeachin is essential for neuromuscular synaptic transmission.
We report a random disruption in the mouse genome that resulted in lethal paralysis in homozygous newborns. The disruption blocked expression of neurobeachin, a protein containing a BEACH (beige and Chediak-Higashi) domain implicated in synaptic vesicle trafficking and an AKAP (A-kinase anchor protein) domain linked to localization of cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity. nbea-null mice demon...
متن کاملThe domain of brain beta-spectrin responsible for synaptic vesicle association is essential for synaptic transmission.
We have examined the interaction between synapsin I, the major phosphoprotein on the membrane of small synaptic vesicles, and brain spectrin. Using recombinant peptides we have localized the synapsin I attachment site upon the beta-spectrin isoform betaSpIISigmaI to a region of 25 amino acids, residues 211 through 235. This segment is adjacent to the actin binding domain and is within the regio...
متن کاملGlycine transporters: essential regulators of synaptic transmission.
Glycine is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian CNS (central nervous system). Glycinergic neurotransmission is terminated by the uptake of glycine into glycinergic nerve terminals and neighbouring glial cells. This uptake process is mediated by specific Na(+)/Cl(-)-dependent GlyTs (glycine transporters), GlyT1 and GlyT2. GlyT1, in addition, is thought to regulate the concentrati...
متن کاملMitochondrial delivery is essential for synaptic potentiation.
Mitochondria, as portable generators that power synaptic function, regulate the ATP supply and calcium homeostasis in the neuron. As molecular interactions within the synapses before and after the potentiation are beginning to be elucidated, the deciding moment during the tetanic stimulation that gives rise to the strengthening of the synapse remains a mystery. Here, I recorded electrically fro...
متن کاملA novel synaptic plasticity rule explains homeostasis of neuromuscular transmission
Excitability differs among muscle fibers and undergoes continuous changes during development and growth, yet the neuromuscular synapse maintains a remarkable fidelity of execution. Here we show in two evolutionarily distant vertebrates (Xenopus laevis cell culture and mouse nerve-muscle ex-vivo) that the skeletal muscle cell constantly senses, through two identified calcium signals, synaptic ev...
