Synapsins as mediators of BDNF-enhanced neurotransmitter release

JN Jovanovic, AJ Czernik, AA Fienberg… - Nature …, 2000 - nature.com
We examined enhancement of synaptic transmission by neurotrophins at the presynaptic
level. In a synaptosomal preparation, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) increased …

Estrogen reduces neuronal generation of Alzheimer β-amyloid peptides

…, J Naslund, L Mazzarelli, G Fried, JN Jovanovic… - Nature medicine, 1998 - nature.com
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of cerebral plaques composed
of 40- and 42-amino acid β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides, and autosomal dominant forms of AD …

Neurotrophins stimulate phosphorylation of synapsin I by MAP kinase and regulate synapsin I-actin interactions.

JN Jovanovic, F Benfenati, YL Siow… - Proceedings of the …, 1996 - National Acad Sciences
The ability of neurotrophins to modulate the survival and differentiation of neuronal populations
involves the Trk/MAP (mitogen-activated protein kinase) kinase signaling pathway. More …

Constitutive endocytosis of GABAA receptors by an association with the adaptin AP2 complex modulates inhibitory synaptic currents in hippocampal neurons

JT Kittler, P Delmas, JN Jovanovic… - Journal of …, 2000 - Soc Neuroscience
Type A GABA receptors (GABA A ) mediate the majority of fast synaptic inhibition in the brain
and are believed to be predominantly composed of α, β, and γ subunits. Although changes …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor modulates fast synaptic inhibition by regulating GABAA receptor phosphorylation, activity, and cell-surface stability

JN Jovanovic, P Thomas, JT Kittler… - Journal of …, 2004 - Soc Neuroscience
The efficacy of GABAergic synaptic inhibition is a principal factor in controlling neuronal
activity. We demonstrate here that brain-derived neurotrophic factor modulates the activity of …

Phospho-dependent binding of the clathrin AP2 adaptor complex to GABAA receptors regulates the efficacy of inhibitory synaptic transmission

…, IL Arancibia-Carcamo, JN Jovanovic… - Proceedings of the …, 2005 - National Acad Sciences
The efficacy of synaptic inhibition depends on the number of γ-aminobutyric acid type A
receptors (GABA A Rs) expressed on the cell surface of neurons. The clathrin adaptor protein 2 (…

Opposing changes in phosphorylation of specific sites in synapsin I during Ca2+-dependent glutamate release in isolated nerve terminals

JN Jovanovic, TS Sihra, AC Nairn… - Journal of …, 2001 - Soc Neuroscience
Synapsins are major neuronal phosphoproteins involved in regulation of neurotransmitter
release. Synapsins are well established targets for multiple protein kinases within the nerve …

Multiple roles of protein kinases in the modulation of γ-aminobutyric acidA receptor function and cell surface expression

NJ Brandon, JN Jovanovic, SJ Moss - Pharmacology & therapeutics, 2002 - Elsevier
γ-Aminobutyric acid A (GABA A ) receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate the
majority of fast synaptic inhibition in the brain and that are also important drug targets for …

Generation and regulation of β‐amyloid peptide variants by neurons

GK Gouras, H Xu, JN Jovanovic… - Journal of …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Studies of processing of the Alzheimer β‐amyloid precursor protein (βAPP) have been
performed to date mostly in continuous cell lines and indicate the existence of two principal …

[HTML][HTML] Positive feedback regulation between γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor signaling and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) release in …

…, TS Sihra, SJ Moss, AM Thomson, JN Jovanovic - Journal of Biological …, 2011 - ASBMB
During the early development of the nervous system, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A
receptor (GABA A R)-mediated signaling parallels the neurotrophin/tropomyosin-related kinase (…
