160 Wu, Yong-ShiC-functions of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory from holographyIn this paper we study non-commutative Yang-Mills theory (NCYM) through its gravity dual. First it is shown that the gravity dual of an NCYM with self-dual θ-parameters has a Lagrangian in the form of five-dimensional dilatonic gravity. Then we use the de-Boer-Verlinde-Verlinde formalism for holog...2000-05-01
161 Jorgensen, Erik; Schuske, Kimberly R.CAPS and syntaxin dock dense core vesicles to the plasma membrane in neuronsDocking to the plasma membrane prepares vesicles for rapid release. Here, we describe a mechanism for dense core vesicle docking in neurons. In Caenorhabditis elegons motor neurons, dense core vesicles dock at the plasma membrane but are excluded from active zones at synapses.2008

163 Beckerle, Mary C.CRP1, a LIM domain protein implicated in muscle differentiation, interacts with α-actininMembers of the cysteine-rich protein (CRP) family are LIM domain proteins that have been implicated in muscle differentiation. One strategy for defining the mechanism by which CRPs potentiate myogenesis is to characterize the repertoire of CRP binding partners.CRP1; Cysteine-rich proteins; Actinin; Protein-protein interactions; LIM domains1997
164 Poulter, Charles DaleCaaX proteases, Afc1p and Rce1p, have overlapping but distinct substrate specificitiesMany proteins that contain a carboxyl-terminal CaaX sequence motif, including Ras and yeast a-factor, undergo a series of sequential posttranslational processing steps. Following the initial prenylation of the cysteine, the three C-terminal amino acids are proteolytically removed, and the newly fo...Proteins; Enzymes; Hydrophobic2000
165 Jorgensen, ErikCaenorhabditis elegans gene unc-25 encodes glutamic acid decarboxylase and is required for synaptic transmission but not synaptic developmentThe neurotransmitter GABA has been proposed to play a role during nervous system development. We show that the Caenorhabditis elegans gene unc-25 encodes glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), the GABA biosynthetic enzyme. unc-25 is expressed specifically in GABAergic neurons. Null mutations in unc-25...1999
166 Jorgensen, ErikCaenorhabditis elegans rab-3 mutant synapses exhibit impaired function and are partially depleted of vesiclesRab molecules regulate vesicular trafficking in many different exocytic and endocytic transport pathways in eukaryotic cells. In neurons, rab3 has been proposed to play a crucial role in regulating synaptic vesicle release. To elucidate the role of rab3 in synaptic transmission, we isolated and cha...1997
167 Jorgensen, ErikCaenorhabditis elegans unc-49 locus encodes multiple subunits of a heteromultimeric GABA receptorIonotropic GABA receptors generally require the products of three subunit genes. By contrast, the GABA receptor needed for locomotion in Caenorhabditis elegans requires only the unc-49 gene. We cloned unc-49 and demonstrated that it possesses an unusual overlapping gene structure.1999
