KIF5B motor adaptor syntabulin maintains synaptic transmission in sympathetic neurons.

12 Oct 2009 Newly synthesized synaptic proteins and mitochondria are transported along lengthy neuronal processes to assist in the proper assembly of developing synapses and activity-dependent remodeling of mature synapses. Neuronal transport is mediated by ... Read more...

Extrasynaptic GABAA receptors: form, pharmacology, and function.

12 Oct 2009 GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and acts via GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptors. Recently, a novel form of GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition, termed "tonic" inhibition, has been described. Whereas synaptic GABA(A) ... Read more...

De novo molecular modeling and biophysical characterization of Manduca sexta eclosion hormone.

27 Sep 2009 Eclosion hormone (EH) is an integral component in the cascade regulating the behaviors culminating in emergence of an insect from its old exoskeleton. Little is known regarding the EH solution structure; consequently, we utilized a computational ... Read more...
