Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct patterns of serum immunoreactivity as evidence for multiple brain‐directed autoantibodies in juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis

TL;DR: Collectively, these studies provide evidence of the presence of autoreactive antibodies within multiple forms of NCL, and are not exclusively directed towards GAD65.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization and processing of CLN3, the protein associated to Batten disease: where is it and what does it do?

TL;DR: The most likely conclusion is that CLN3 is a lysosomal/endosomal protein that is trafficked through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi and has a potential role in the recycling of synaptic vesiclesthrough the endosome/lysosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finding the most appropriate mouse model of juvenile CLN3 (Batten) disease for therapeutic studies: the importance of genetic background and gender

TL;DR: The results show that Cln3−/− male mice on the 129S6/SvEv genetic background are the most appropriate candidates for therapeutic studies, and males and females on the C57BL/6J background provide good outcome measures for therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differing preferences of Antarctic soil nematodes for microbial prey

TL;DR: It is concluded that complex trophic interactions may occur in apparently simple Antarctic soil food webs using nematodes extracted from moss at Signy Island for two microalgae, three microfungi and six heterotrophic bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

NH2 terminus of serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 binds to phosphoinositides and is essential for isoform-specific physiological functions

TL;DR: Observations support the idea that the NH(2)-terminal domain acts downstream of PI 3-kinase-dependent activation to target the kinase to specific cellular compartments and/or substrates, possibly through its interactions with a subset of phosphoinositides.
