SynDB: a Synapse protein DataBase based on synapse ontology
A synapse is the junction across which a nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal to a neuron, muscle cell or gland cell. The functions and building molecules of the synapse are essential to almost all neurobiological processes. To describe synaptic structures and functions, we have developed Synapse Ontology (SynO), a hierarchical representation that includes 177 terms with hundreds of synon...
متن کاملSynapse selection based on differences in synapse turnover.
Rat retinal neurons formed transient synapses with rat muscle cells in culture only during a discrete period in development, from the 20th day of embryonic development to the 7th neonatal day. In contrast, chick embryo spinal cord neurons formed synapses at all developmental stages tested, from the 2nd to the 18th day of embryonic development. The percentage of cells from the spinal cord that f...
متن کاملAdvanced Fluorescence Protein-Based Synapse-Detectors
The complex information-processing capabilities of the central nervous system emerge from intricate patterns of synaptic input-output relationships among various neuronal circuit components. Understanding these capabilities thus requires a precise description of the individual synapses that comprise neural networks. Recent advances in fluorescent protein engineering, along with developments in ...
متن کاملSignal Transduction at a Protein Synapse
Contraction of the bacteriophage T4 tail in the act of host cell penetration represents a massive structural change powered by conformational free energy. A paper in this issue of Cell by compares cryo-electron microscopic reconstructions of the initial and final states and reveals that the basic underlying mechanism is concerted rigid-body movements of the constituent protein subunits, akin to...

elements, which do not anastomose, and that nervous action is made by contacts ‘at the level of certain apparatuses or dispositions of engagement’. Camillo Golgi (1842–1926) maintained that he could identify intracellular neurofibrils in nerves with his silver technique and that these extended from one nerve bulb to the next providing a continuous anastomosis. Cajal and Golgi shared the Nobel P...
