| 4 |  | Motor neurons tune premotor activity in a vertebrate central pattern generator | Lawton, Kristy J. | 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 |

| 9 |  | FliT selectively enhances proteolysis of FlhC Subunit in FlhD4C2 complex by an ATP-dependent protease, ClpXP | Hughes, Kelly T. | We previously reported that the ClpXP ATP-dependent pro-tease specifically recognizes and degrades the flagellar master transcriptional activator complex, FlhD 4C2, to negatively control flagellar biogenesis. The flagellum-related protein, FliT, isalso a negative regulator of flagellar regulon by in... | | 2014-01-01 |
| 10 |  | Patterns of local and nonlocal water resource use across the western U.S. determined via stable isotope intercomparisons | Ehleringer, James R. | In the western U.S., the mismatch between public water demands and natural water availability necessitates large interbasin transfers of water as well as groundwater mining of fossil aquifers. Here we identify probable situations of nonlocal water use in both space and time based on isotopic compari... | | 2014-01-01 |
| 11 |  | Combined proteomic and transcriptomic interrogation of the venom gland of conus geographus uncovers novel components and functional compartmentalization | Olivera, Baldomero M. | Cone snails are highly successful marine predators that use complex venoms to capture prey. At any given time, hundreds of toxins (conotoxins) are synthesized in the secretory epithelial cells of the venom gland, a long and convoluted organ that can measure 4 times the length of the snail's body. In... | | 2014-01-01 |
| 12 |  | Coding rate and duration of vocalizations of the frog , Xenopus laevis | Yamaguchi, Ayako | Vocalizations involve complex rhythmic motor patterns, but the underlying temporal coding mechanisms in the nervous system are poorly understood. Using a recently developed whole-brain preparation from which "fictive" vocalizations are readily elicited in vitro, we investigated the cellular basis of... | | 2012-08-29 |
