A Push–Pull Mechanism Between PRRT2 and β4-subunit Differentially Regulates Membrane Exposure and Biophysical Properties of NaV1.2 Sodium Channels

TL;DR: In this article , it was shown that β-subunits and PRRT2 do not interact with each other and act as independent non-competitive modulators of Na V 1.2/NaV 1.6 channels, without affecting resurgent current.

in Familial Infantile Myoclonic Epilepsy

TL;DR: A gene mutation involved in autosomal-recessive idiopathic epilepsy is identified, the involvement of ARF6-dependent molecular pathway in brain hyperexcitability and seizures is unveiled, and the emerging role of subtle cytoarchitectural alterations in the etiology of this group of common epileptic disorders is confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synapsin III Controls Early Phases of Dopaminergic Neurons Development in Fishes and Mammals by Acting Upstream of BDNF and Cdk5 Signaling

TL;DR: It is disclosed that Syn III governs early mDN developmental stages in fishes and mammals through the upstream control of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-mediated and cAMP-dependent protein kinase 5 (Cdk5)-stimulated dendrite development.
