Journal ArticleDOI

Neurexins: synaptic cell surface proteins related to the alpha-latrotoxin receptor and laminin.

TL;DR: The polymorphic structure of the neurexins, their neural localization, and their sequence similarity to proteins associated with neurogenesis suggest a function as cell recognition molecules in the nerve terminal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellubrevin is a ubiquitous tetanus-toxin substrate homologous to a putative synaptic vesicle fusion protein

TL;DR: The results suggest that constitutive and regulated vesicular pathways use homologous proteins for membrane trafficking, probably for membrane fusion at the plasma membrane, indicating a greater mechanistic and evolutionary similarity between these pathways than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cartography of neurexins: More than 1000 isoforms generated by alternative splicing and expressed in distinct subsets of neurons

TL;DR: Characterization of many independent bovine neurexin I alpha cDNAs suggests that different splice sites are used independently, which potentially represents a third mechanism for creating a large number of cell surface receptors that are expressed by specific subsets of cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of a novel InsP3 receptor.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the presence of several types of InsP3 receptor in brain and raise the possibility that intracellular Ca2+ signaling may involve multiple pathways with different regulatory properties dependent on different InsP 3 receptors.
