Dendrites are dispensable for basic motoneuron function but essential for fine tuning of behavior.
Dendrites are highly complex 3D structures that define neuronal morphology and connectivity and are the predominant sites for synaptic input. Defects in dendritic structure are highly consistent correlates of brain diseases. However, the precise consequences of dendritic structure defects for neuronal function and behavioral performance remain unknown. Here we probe dendritic function by using ...
متن کامل-G Spectrin Is Dispensable for Establishment of Epithelial Polarity, but Essential for Muscular and Neuronal Function
The Caenorhabditis elegans genome encodes one a spectrin subunit, a b spectrin subunit ( b -G), and a b -H spectrin subunit. Our experiments show that the phenotype resulting from the loss of the C . elegans a spectrin is reproduced by tandem depletion of both b -G and b -H spectrins. We propose that a spectrin combines with the b -G and b -H subunits to form a / b -G and a / b -H heteromers th...
متن کاملCx47 fine-tunes the handling of serum lipids but is dispensable for lymphatic vascular function
Mutations in the gap junction protein connexin47 (Cx47) are associated with lymphedema. However, the role of Cx47 in lymphatic pathophysiology is unknown. We demonstrate that Cx47 is expressed in lymphatic endothelial cells by whole-mount immunostaining and qPCR. To determine if Cx47 plays a role in lymphatic vessel function we analysed Cx47-/- mice. Cx47-deficiency did not affect lymphatic con...

متن کاملFibronectins are essential for heart and blood vessel morphogenesis but are dispensable for initial specification of precursor cells.
The underlying mechanisms of lethal cardiovascular defects associated with the fibronectin-null (FN.null) mutation in mouse embryos were investigated by lineage analysis of myocardial, endocardial, and endothelial cells. A wide variation in phenotype was observed on two genetic backgrounds. In the less severe class (C57/BL6 background), FN.null embryos display a defective heart. Myocardial cell...
