Structure of the Beat–Side complex reveals their interaction is required for neuromuscular system wiring
Keywords beaten path family sidestep family Drosophila melanogaster cell surface receptor axon guidance neuromuscular junction protein structure Research topic(s) CP: molecular biology CP: neuroscience Introduction The development of the neuromuscular system is dependent on a molecular landscape controlled by cell-surface and secreted proteins.
Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Motor Circuit Development
Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Motor Circuit Development Paschalis Kratsios, Niccolò Zampieri, Robert Carrillo, Kota Mizumoto, Lora B. Sweeney, Polyxeni Philippidou Journal of Neuroscience 2 October 2024, 44 (40) e1238242024; DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1238-24.2024
One highway solved three problems outside Austin, Texas
A toll-road project near Austin, Texas, achieved multiple goals in one journey, preserving a critical aquifer and its surrounding environment while providing commuters with a direct route to a local freeway. The project takes traffic pressure off local roads, shaves time off city commutes, and treats stormwater.
Neuronal Wiring Receptors Dprs and DIPs Are GPI Anchored and This Modification Contributes to Their Cell Surface Organization
cell surface receptor DIP Dpr Drosophila melanogaster glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor motor neuron muscle surface localization synapse Significance Statement The Dpr/DIP families of cell surface receptors are important for controlling neuronal circuit assembly and synaptic/neuronal signaling, as demonstrated in the visual, neuromuscular, and olfactory systems in the fruit fly.
hkb is required for DIP-α expression and target recognition in the Drosophila neuromuscular circuit
Abstract Our nervous system contains billions of neurons that form precise connections with each other through interactions between cell surface proteins (CSPs). In Drosophila, the Dpr and DIP immunoglobulin protein subfamilies form homophilic or heterophilic interactions to instruct synaptic connectivity, synaptic growth and cell survival. However, the upstream regulation and downstream signaling mechanisms of Dprs and DIPs are not clear.
Neuronal wiring receptors Dprs and DIPs are GPI anchored and this modification contributes to their cell surface organization
New Results doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.03.02.530872 Abstract The Drosophila Dpr and DIP proteins belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface proteins (CSPs). Their hetero- and homophilic interactions have been implicated in a variety of neuronal functions, including synaptic connectivity, cell survival, and axon fasciculation. However, the signaling pathways underlying these diverse functions are unknown.
U.S. Steps Up Enforcement of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in Latin America
The United States enacted the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in 1977 to criminalize the bribery of foreign government officials in exchange for new business or maintaining old business. The risk to Latin American companies is that the FCPA is applicable to not only U.S. citizens and companies, but also to foreign persons residing in the United States and foreign companies listed on U.S. exchanges.

Carrillo Journal of Neuroscience 5 January 2021, JN-RM-1492-20; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1492-20.2020 Abstract Throughout the nervous system, the convergence of two or more presynaptic inputs on a target cell is commonly observed. The question we ask here is to what extent converging inputs influence each other’s structural and functional synaptic plasticity.
Structural and functional synaptic plasticity induced by convergent synapse loss requires co-innervation in the Drosophila neuromuscular circuit
Abstract Throughout the nervous system, the convergence of two or more presynaptic inputs on a target cell is commonly observed. The question we ask here is to what extent converging inputs influence each other's structural and functional synaptic plasticity. In complex circuits, isolating individual inputs is difficult because postsynaptic cells can receive thousands of inputs.
Identification tags define neural circuits
The human brain is composed of complex circuits of neurons, cells that are specialized to transmit information via electrochemical signals. Like the circuits in a computer, these neuronal circuits must be connected in particular ways to function properly. But with billions of neurons in a single human brain, how does a neuron make the right connections with the right cells? Biologists have long searched for some kind of cellular "identification tags" that label which cells should form connections.
