چکیده
It has come to the attention of the authors that Bélanger et al. (Bélanger, G., Stocksley, M.A., Vandromme, M., Schaeffer, L., Furic, L., Desgroseillers, L., Jasmin, B.J., 2003. Localization of the RNA-binding proteins Staufen1 and Staufen2 at the mammalian neuromuscular junction. J. Neurochem. 86, 669–677) reported that Staufen 1 and 2 localise to the postsynaptic side of mouse neuromuscular junctions, suggesting that the function of Staufen at the NMJ is conserved in mammals.

Staufen targets coracle mRNA to Drosophila neuromuscular junctions and regulates GluRIIA synaptic accumulation and bouton number
The post-synaptic translation of localised mRNAs has been postulated to underlie several forms of plasticity at vertebrate synapses, but the mechanisms that target mRNAs to these postsynaptic sites are not well understood. Here we show that the evolutionary conserved dsRNA binding protein, Staufen, localises to the postsynaptic side of the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ), where it is re...
متن کاملThe hangover gene negatively regulates bouton addition at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction
The synaptic growth of neurons during the development and adult life of an animal is a very dynamic and highly regulated process. During larval development in Drosophila new boutons and branches are added at the glutamatergic neuromuscular junction (NMJ) until a balance between neuronal activity and morphological structures is reached. Analysis of several Drosophila mutants suggest that bouton ...
متن کاملThe Translational Repressor Pumilio Regulates Presynaptic Morphology and Controls Postsynaptic Accumulation of Translation Factor eIF-4E
Translational repression by Drosophila Pumilio (Pum) protein controls posterior patterning during embryonic development. Here, we show that Pum is an important mediator of synaptic growth and plasticity at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Pum is localized to the postsynaptic side of the NMJ in third instar larvae and is also expressed in larval neurons. Neuronal Pum regulates synaptic growth. ...
متن کاملThe 4.1 protein coracle mediates subunit-selective anchoring of Drosophila glutamate receptors to the postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton.
Glutamatergic Drosophila neuromuscular junctions contain two spatially, biophysically, and pharmacologically distinct subtypes of postsynaptic glutamate receptor (GluR). These receptor subtypes appear to be molecularly identical except that A receptors contain the subunit GluRIIA (but not GluRIIB), and B receptors contain the subunit GluRIIB (but not GluRIIA). A- and B-type receptors are coexpr...
متن کاملDrosophila VAP-33A Directs Bouton Formation at Neuromuscular Junctions in a Dosage-Dependent Manner
Aplysia VAP-33 (VAMP-associated protein) has been previously proposed to be involved in the control of neurotransmitter release. Here, we show that a Drosophila homolog of VAP-33, DVAP-33A, is localized to neuromuscular junctions. Loss of DVAP-33A causes a severe decrease in the number of boutons and a corresponding increase in bouton size. Conversely, presynaptic overexpression of DVAP-33A ind...
