Glycine Transporters Not Only Take Out the Garbage, They Recycle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two articles in the current issue of Neuron examine the consequences of deleting the two genes that encode glycine transporters. Interestingly, loss of glial transporters enhances while loss of presynaptic neuronal transporters reduces glycinergic transmission. These two opposing phenotypes resemble distinct human diseases characterized by dysfunction in glycinergic signaling.

The recycling solution: how I increased recycling on dilworth road.
When we throw out our trash it is burned in an incinerator or buried in a landfill. If we burn our trash, it pollutes the air. If we bury it, it fills up our landfills and gets out of hand. But ifwe recycle things, it will not pollute anything and we can use it over again. By recycling we also save money. Our county has a recycling program. Every Friday, you have a chance to put out your trash ...
متن کاملStructure, function and brain localization of neurotransmitter transporters.
We studied four different cDNAs encoding GABA transporters and three different cDNAs encoding glycine transporters in mouse and rat brains. A genomic clone of two of the glycine transporters (GLYT1a and GLYT1b) revealed that they derive from differential splicing of a single gene. The third glycine transporter (GLYT2) is encoded by a separate gene. Antibodies were raised against seven of these ...
متن کاملDynamic equilibrium of neurotransmitter transporters: not just for reuptake anymore.
Many electrophysiologists view neurotransmitter transporters as tiny vacuum cleaners, operating continuously to lower extracellular neurotransmitter concentration to zero. However, this is not consistent with their known behavior, instead only reducing extracellular neurotransmitter concentration to a finite, nonzero value at which an equilibrium is reached. In addition, transporters are equall...
متن کاملThe glycine neurotransmitter transporter GLYT1 is an organic osmolyte transporter regulating cell volume in cleavage-stage embryos.
Cells subjected to sustained high osmolarity almost universally respond by accumulating compatible organic osmolytes that, in contrast to inorganic ions, are not deleterious even at high intracellular concentrations. Their accumulation from the external environment by known organic osmolyte transporters, such as the four identified in mammals, occurs only slowly in response to sustained high os...
متن کاملA Formal Semantics for Finalizers
Automatic finalization is a common but inherently complex language facility that makes the garbage collection process semantically visible to client programs. With finalizers, memory management becomes more flexible, and garbage collectors can be used to recycle other resources in addition to memory. Formal language models usually ignore garbage collection, and therefore are unable to properly ...
