Jorgensen, Erik | Molecular basis of synaptic vesicle cargo recognition by the endocytic sorting adaptor stonin 2 | Synaptic transmission depends on clathrin-mediated recycling of synaptic vesicles (SVs). How select SV proteins are targeted for internalization has remained elusive. Stonins are evolutionarily conserved adaptors dedicated to endocytic sorting of the SV protein synaptotagmin. Our data identify the m... | | 2007 |

Blair, David F. | MotA protein of E. coli is a proton-conducting component of the flagellar motor | A number of mutants of motA, a gene necessary for flagellar rotation in E. coli, were isolated and characterized. Many mutations were dominant, owing to competition between functional and nonfunctional MotA for a limited number of sites on the flagellar motor. A new class of mutant was discovered... | MotA protein; MotA gene; Flagellar motor; Proton-conducting | 1990 |

Goller, Franz | Motor control of crystallized song is modified by sensory feedback | Song production requires precisely coordinated activity in the respiratory and syringcal (vocal organ) muscles. Crystallized adult song is characterized by acoustic and motor stereotypy which does not require auditory feedback, suggesting it is represented by fixed central motor programs. To determ... | Air injection; Auditory feedback; Pressure | 1997 |

Goller, Franz | Motor control of sound frequency in birdsong involves the interaction between air sac pressure and labial tension | Frequency modulation is a salient acoustic feature of birdsong. Its control is usually attributed to the activity of syringeal muscles, which affect the tension of the labia responsible for sound production. We use experimental and theoretical tools to test the hypothesis that for birds producing to... | | 2014-01-01 |

Lawton, Kristy J. | Motor neurons tune premotor activity in a vertebrate central pattern generator | Central patterns generators (CPGs) are neural circuits that drive rhythmic motor output without sensory feedback. Vertebrate CPGs are generally believed to operate in a top-down manner in which premotor interneurons activate motor neurons that in turn drive muscles. In contrast, the frog (Xenopus la... | CPG; feed back; synchrony; vocal; vocalization; Xenopus | 2017 |

Eichwald, Ernst; Capecchi, Mario R.; Thomas, Kirk R. | Mouse model for the delta F508 allele of cystic fibrosis | The most common cause of cystic fibrosis is a mutation that deletes phenylalanine 508 in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The delta F508 protein is misprocessed and degraded rather than traveling to the apical membrane. We used a novel strategy to introduce the delta F508 ... | Digestive System; Disease Models, Animal; Electrolytes; Mice, Inbred C57BL | 1995-10 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Multiple bromotryptophan and y-carboxyglutamate residues in a Conus peptide | A novel peptide was purified from Conus textile venom which caused hyperactivity in mice. The 31-amino acid peptide has six residues with unusual post-translational modifications: four y-carboxyglutamates and two brominated tryptophan residues. This peptide, which we have designated the dibromorunn... | | 1999-01-01 |

Jorgensen, Erik | Mutations in synaptojanin disrupt synaptic vesicle recycling | Synaptojanin is a polyphosphoinositide phosphatase that is found at synapses and binds to proteins implicated in endocytosis. For these reasons, it has been proposed that synaptojanin is involved in the recycling of synaptic vesicles. Here, we demonstrate that the unc-26 gene encodes the Caenorhab... | | 2000 |
