CAPS in Search of a Lost Function

نویسنده

  • Thomas C. Su¨dhof
چکیده

Ca2+-dependent activator protein for secretion (CAPS) is an evolutionarily conserved secretory protein that was previously thought to mediate Ca2+-triggered fusion of dense-core vesicles. In an elegant study of CAPS1-deficient mice, Speidel et al. (this issue of Neuron) now show that CAPS function may have been misunderstood. CAPS appears to act upstream of fusion in the biogenesis or maintenance of mature secretory vesicles, raising the possibility of a completely new type of function for an essential component of the secretory machinery.

Compound Action Potential of Isolated Spinal Cord: A Biophysical Analysis to Address Activity of Individual Fibers Following Contusion Injury

Compound action potential (CAP) of spinal cord represents valuable properties of neural fibers including excitability, rate of myelination and membrane integrity. These properties are measured using amplitude, latency and area under curve of CAPs recorded from spinal cord. Here, the isolated spinal cord was set in a double sucrose gap (DSG) chamber and its response to intracellular stimulation ...

Estimation of the cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with lost sales using regression

Multi-echelon inventory systems are one of the most important and attractive areas in modelling supply chain management so that several researches and studies have been done about. In this paper, the total cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with central warehouse and many identical retailers controlled by continuous review inventory policy is estimated. We have assumed the demand i...

Measurements of output factors using different ionization chambers and build up caps

Background: The aim of this work was to study the output factors for Linac using different ionization chambers and build up caps. Materials and Methods: Output factors were measured for open square fields (3 × 3 cm to 40 × 40 cm) defined by collimator jaws for 6 and 15 MV photon beams from a Varian Clinac 2100C accelerator were measured. The measurements in air were performed using Com...

Minimizing a General Penalty Function on a Single Machine via Developing Approximation Algorithms and FPTASs

This paper addresses the Tardy/Lost penalty minimization on a single machine. According to this penalty criterion, if the tardiness of a job exceeds a predefined value, the job will be lost and penalized by a fixed value. Besides its application in real world problems, Tardy/Lost measure is a general form for popular objective functions like weighted tardiness, late work and tardiness with reje...
