A chemical-genetic strategy reveals distinct temporal requirements for SAD-1 kinase in neuronal polarization and synapse formation (2008)

Kim, Joanne SM, Lilley, Brendan N, Zhang, Chao, Shokat, Kevan M, Sanes, Joshua R, Zhen, Mei

Abstract Background Neurons assemble into a functional network through a sequence of developmental processes including neuronal polarization and synapse formation. In Caenorhabditis elegans , the...

The C2H2 zinc-finger protein SYD-9 is a putative posttranscriptional regulator for synaptic transmission

Wang, Ying, Gracheva, Elena O., Richmond, Janet, Kawano, Taizo, Couto, Jillian M., Calarco, John A., ...

Communication between neurons is largely achieved through chemical synapses, where neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles at presynaptic terminals to activate postsynaptic cells. Exo-...
