Synaptic structure and function: Dynamic organization yields architectural precision
The power of the brain is based upon the extraordinary abilities of nerve cells to communicate with each other at specialized intercellular junctions called synapses. As other papers in this issue of Ce// discuss (see Garrity and Zipursky, 1995; Keynes and Cook, 1995), other forms of interneuronal communication also occur, especially during neuronal development. Here we focus on the communicati...
متن کاملDrosophila MICAL regulates myofilament organization and synaptic structure
The overall size and structure of a synaptic terminal is an important determinant of its function. In a large-scale mutagenesis screen, designed to identify Drosophila mutants with abnormally structured neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), we discovered mutations in Drosophila mical, a conserved gene encoding a multi-domain protein with a N-terminal monooxygenase domain. In mical mutants, synaptic b...
متن کاملExtracellular Matrix Organization, Structure, and Function
Heart valves are thin, complex, layered connective tissues that direct blood flow in one di‐ rection through the heart. There are four valves in the heart, located at the entrance to and exit from the ventricular chambers. The normal function of the heart valves is essential to cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary physiology. The opening and closing of valve leaflets at precise times during the c...
متن کاملPrecision Structure Function Measurements from Ccfr/nutev
New results from the CCFR Collaboration on the structure functions F2 and xF3 are presented. Neutrino scattering structure function measurements o er a unique tool to probe the strong interactions. The parity-violating structure function xF3(x;Q ) can only be measured in deep inelastic neutrino scattering. Precise measurements of the structure function F2(x;Q ) can also be obtained. The predict...
متن کاملGene Family: Structure, Organization and Evolution
Gene families are considered as groups of homologous genes which they share very similar sequences and they may have identical functions. Members of gene families may be found in tandem repeats or interspersed through the genome. These sequences are copies of the ancestral genes which have underwent changes. The multiple copies of each gene in a family were constructed based on gene duplicati...
