Altered electrical properties in drosophilaneurons developing without synaptic transmission

RA Baines, JP Uhler, A Thompson… - Journal of …, 2001 - Soc Neuroscience
We examine the role of synaptic activity in the development of identified Drosophila embryonic
motorneurons. Synaptic activity was blocked by both pan-neuronal expression of tetanus …

[PDF][PDF] Calcium influx via TRP channels is required to maintain PIP2 levels in Drosophila photoreceptors

RC Hardie, P Raghu, S Moore, M Juusola, RA Baines… - Neuron, 2001 - cell.com
The trp (transient receptor potential) gene encodes a Ca 2+ channel responsible for the
major component of the phospholipase C (PLC) mediated light response in Drosophila. In trp …

[HTML][HTML] The roles of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex at the synapse

GSK Pilgram, S Potikanond, RA Baines… - Molecular …, 2010 - Springer
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene and is
characterized by progressive muscle wasting. A number of Duchenne patients also present with …

Regulation of neuronal excitability through pumilio-dependent control of a sodium channel gene

…, ECG Pym, KG Moffat, RA Baines - Journal of …, 2004 - Soc Neuroscience
… Injection of depolarizing current shows that an ATX II-dependent increase in I Na(p) [we
observed no change to other currents present in aCC/RP2 (ECG Pym and RA Baines, …

Drosophila Shaking-B protein forms gap junctions in paired Xenopus oocytes

P Phelan, LA Stebbings, RA Baines, JP Bacon… - Nature, 1998 - nature.com
In most multicellular organisms direct cell–cell communication is mediated by the intercellular
channels of gap junctions. These channels allow the exchange of ions and molecules that …

Pumilio binds para mRNA and requires Nanos and Brat to regulate sodium current in Drosophila motoneurons

…, S Luschnig, KG Moffat, RA Baines - Journal of …, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
RA Baines, unpublished data). Together with a differential requirement for specific cofactors
(see below), editing of this motif might serve to influence how para is affected by Pum and, …

[PDF][PDF] Miniature neurotransmission regulates Drosophila synaptic structural maturation

…, W Jiao, V Wolfram, Y Wu, M Grbic, C Cela, RA Baines… - Neuron, 2014 - cell.com
Miniature neurotransmission is the transsynaptic process where single synaptic vesicles
spontaneously released from presynaptic neurons induce miniature postsynaptic potentials. …
