Journal ArticleDOI

Miro1 Is a Calcium Sensor for Glutamate Receptor-Dependent Localization of Mitochondria at Synapses

TL;DR: It is shown that the protein Miro1 links mitochondria to KIF5 motor proteins, allowing mitochondaria to move along microtubules, and this linkage is inhibited by micromolar levels of Ca2+ binding to Miro 1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Axonal transport: cargo-specific mechanisms of motility and regulation

TL;DR: An overview of axonal transport pathways is provided and their role in neuronal function is discussed and Retrograde transport, which plays a major role in neurotrophic and injury response signaling, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delivery of GABAARs to synapses is mediated by HAP1-KIF5 and disrupted by mutant huntingtin.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GABA(A)Rs are trafficked to synapses by the kinesin family motor protein 5 (KIF5), and the adaptor linking the receptors to KIF5 as the huntingtin-associated protein 1 (HAP1).
Journal ArticleDOI

The Dynamic Localization of Cytoplasmic Dynein in Neurons Is Driven by Kinesin-1

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that the outward transport of dynein from soma to axon terminal is driven by direct interactions with the anterograde motor kinesin-1, and proposes a new model for the slow axonal transport of cytosolic cargos, based on short-lived direct interactions of cargo with a highly processive anterOGrade motor.
Journal ArticleDOI

TLR-dependent phagosome tubulation in dendritic cells promotes phagosome cross-talk to optimize MHC-II antigen presentation

TL;DR: The data show that phagosomal tubules in DCs are functionally distinct from those that emerge from lysosomes and are unique adaptations of the phagocytic machinery that facilitate cargo exchange and antigen presentation among TLR-signaling phagosomes.
