SIRT6 Is Required for Normal Retinal Function
The retina is one of the major energy consuming tissues within the body. In this context, synaptic transmission between light-excited rod and cone photoreceptors and downstream ON-bipolar neurons is a highly demanding energy consuming process. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a NAD-dependent deacylase, plays a key role in regulating glucose metabolism. In this study, we demonstrate that SIRT6 is highly expre...
متن کاملPXA domain-containing protein Pxa1 is required for normal vacuole function and morphology in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
PhoX homology (PX) domain-containing proteins play critical roles in vesicular trafficking, protein sorting, and lipid modification in eukaryotic cells. Several proteins with PX domains contain an associated domain termed PXA (PX-associated). Although PXA domain-containing proteins are required for some important cellular processes, the function of the PXA domain is unknown. We identified three...
متن کاملSprouty gene function in otic placode induction
other ions transepithelially with a suite of pumps and transporters, how these proton-secreting cells (PSCs) arise developmentally is unknown. Here, we identify a cell type in the X. laevis larval that expresses a collection of transporters strikingly similar to those observed in the mammalian kidney, including “kidney”-specific isoforms of the H+V-ATPase and Cl−/HCO3− antiporters related to pe...
متن کاملSMN Is Required for Sensory-Motor Circuit Function in Drosophila
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a lethal human disease characterized by motor neuron dysfunction and muscle deterioration due to depletion of the ubiquitous survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. Drosophila SMN mutants have reduced muscle size and defective locomotion, motor rhythm, and motor neuron neurotransmission. Unexpectedly, restoration of SMN in either muscles or motor neurons did not al...
متن کاملBcl-2 is required for cranial sensory neuron survival at defined stages of embryonic development.
To ascertain the role of endogenous Bcl-2 in maintaining the survival of developing neurons and modulating their responses to neurotrophins, we compared the in vitro and in vivo survival of cranial sensory neurons of wild-type and bcl-2 null mouse embryos. At the peak of naturally occurring neuronal death in the trigeminal ganglion at E14, trigeminal neurons from bcl-2(-/-) embryos initially su...
