Synaptogyrin-dependent modulation of synaptic neurotransmission in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The tetraspan membrane proteins of the synaptogyrin and synaptophysin type are abundant and evolutionary conserved synaptic vesicle membrane proteins whose functions are poorly defined. Their depletion does not interfere with proper neuronal development and basic neuronal function. In the search for their function we use the genetic model organism Caenorhabditis elegans in which, in contrast to...
متن کاملDopaminergic neurons modulate locomotion in Caenorhabditis elegans
Adaptation in the sensory-mechanical loop during locomotion is a powerful mechanism that allows organisms to survive in different conditions and environments. For example, humans can walk on earth gravity, but they switch to hopping on, for example, moon gravity. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans also shows adaptability by employing thrashing behaviour in low viscosity media and crawling in h...
متن کاملPolyunsaturated fatty acids and neurotransmission in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Changes in PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) metabolism can cause mental retardation and cognitive impairment. However, it is still unclear why altered levels of PUFAs result in neuronal dysfunction. Recent studies on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans suggest that PUFA depletion may cause cognitive impairment by compromising communication among neurons. Pharmacological and electrophysiologica...
متن کاملRho GTPase signaling modulates neurotransmission in Caenorhabditis elegans
Hu, Shuang, "Rho GTPase signaling modulates neurotransmission in Caenorhabditis elegans" (2013). Theses and Dissertations. Paper 100. Rho family GTPases act as molecular switches in the regulation of diverse cellular functions, including cell division, gene transcription and neurotransmission. In the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, the Kalirin and Trio ortholog UNC-73 contains two RhoGEF...
متن کاملSorbus alnifolia protects dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans
CONTEXT The twigs of Sorbus alnifolia (Sieb. et Zucc.) K. Koch (Rosaceae) have been used to treat neurological disorders as a traditional medicine in Korea. However, there are limited data describing the efficacy of S. alnifolia in Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to identify the protective effects of the methanol extracts of S. alnifolia (MESA) on the dopaminergic...
