Journal ArticleDOI

Sequencing of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) genome provides insights into vertebrate evolution

J. Joshua Smith, +59 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Analyses of the assembly indicate that two whole-genome duplications likely occurred before the divergence of ancestral lamprey and gnathostome lineages, and help define key evolutionary events within vertebrate lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

A conserved clathrin assembly motif essential for synaptic vesicle endocytosis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AP180, like AP-2 and AP-3, binds to the N-terminal domain of clathrin, and sequence analysis reveals a motif, containing the sequence DLL, that exists in multiple copies in manyClathrin APs and indicates that the DLL motif confersclathrin assembly properties to AP180 and AP -2 and, perhaps, to other APs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Synaptic Vesicle Cycle Revisited: New Insights into the Modes and Mechanisms.

TL;DR: A modern view of the SV life cycle is presented and discusses how neuronal subtype, physiological temperature, and individual activity patterns can recruit different endocytic modes to generate new SVs and sculpt subsequent presynaptic performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uncoating of Clathrin-Coated Vesicles in Presynaptic Terminals: Roles for Hsc70 and Auxilin

TL;DR: It is established that auxilin and Hsc70 participate in synaptic vesicle recycling in neurons and that an interaction between these proteins is required for CCV uncoating.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Role for the Clathrin Assembly Domain of AP180 in Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis

TL;DR: It is concluded that the clathrin assembly domain of AP180 is important for synaptic vesicle recycling at physiological rates of activity and that assembly ofClathrin byAP180 is necessary for maintaining a pool of releasable synaptic vESicles.
