Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane-associated guanylate kinases regulate adhesion and plasticity at cell junctions

TL;DR: Diverse roles in tissue development, differentiation, and physiology are explained by recent biochemical and structural analyses of MAGUKs, which demonstrate their capacity to assemble well--efined--yet adaptable--protein complexes at cellular junctions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloned and expressed nitric oxide synthase structurally resembles cytochrome P-450 reductase

TL;DR: The cloning, characterization and functional expression of cDNAs encoding rat brain nitric oxide synthase (NOS) are described, which is responsible for intracellular synthesis of NO from arginine, and the sequence reveals putative sites for interaction with calmodulin and for phosphorylation by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synapse-specific and developmentally regulated targeting of AMPA receptors by a family of MAGUK scaffolding proteins.

TL;DR: A PSD-MAGUK-specific regulation of AMPA-R synaptic expression that establishes and maintains glutamatergic synaptic transmission in the mammalian central nervous system is established.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possible origins and distribution of immunoreactive nitric oxide synthase-containing nerve fibers in cerebral arteries.

TL;DR: The coexistence of NOS and VIP within sphenopalatine ganglion cells raises the possibility that two vasodilatory agents, one, a highly diffusable short-lived, low-molecular-weight molecule, and the other, a polar 28 amino acid-containing peptide, may serve as coneuromediators within the cerebral circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient nitric oxide synthase neurons in embryonic cerebral cortical plate, sensory ganglia, and olfactory epithelium

TL;DR: The transient expression of neuronal NOS may reflect a role in developmental processes such as programmed cell death, and in other neuronal sites NOS staining appears after cell bodies cease dividing and cells extend processes, and the staining persists in adult life.
