Membrane Anchoring Subunits Specify Selective Regulation Of Rgs9·Gbeta5 Gap Complex In Photoreceptor Neurons, Yan Cao, Alexander V. Kolesnikov, Ikuo Masuho, Vladimir J. Kefalov, Kirill A. Martemyanov Oct 2010

Membrane Anchoring Subunits Specify Selective Regulation Of Rgs9·Gbeta5 Gap Complex In Photoreceptor Neurons, Yan Cao, Alexander V. Kolesnikov, Ikuo Masuho, Vladimir J. Kefalov, Kirill A. Martemyanov

Open Access Publications

The RGS9·Gβ5 complex is the key regulator of neuronal G-protein signaling and shows remarkable selectivity of subunit composition. In retinal photoreceptors, RGS9·Gβ5 is bound to the membrane anchor R9AP and the complex regulates visual signaling. In the basal ganglia neurons, RGS9·Gβ5 is instead associated with a homologous protein, R7BP, and regulates reward circuit. Switching this selective subunit composition of the complex in rod photoreceptors allowed us to study the molecular underpinning of signaling specificity in diverse G-protein pathways. We have found that both membrane anchoring subunits play a conserved role in regulating protein levels of RGS9·Gβ5 and enhancing the ability …

Age-Related Deterioration Of Rod Vision In Mice, Alexander V. Kolesnikov, Jie Fan, Rosalie K. Crouch, Vladimir J. Kefalov Aug 2010

Age-Related Deterioration Of Rod Vision In Mice, Alexander V. Kolesnikov, Jie Fan, Rosalie K. Crouch, Vladimir J. Kefalov

Open Access Publications

Even in healthy individuals, aging leads to deterioration in visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, visual field, and dark adaptation. Little is known about the neural mechanisms that drive the age-related changes of the retina and, more specifically, photoreceptors. According to one hypothesis, the age-related deterioration in rod function is due to the limited availability of 11-cis-retinal for rod pigment formation. To determine how aging affects rod photoreceptors and to test the retinoid-deficiency hypothesis, we compared the morphological and functional properties of rods of adult and aged B6D2F1/J mice. We found that the number of rods and the length of their outer …

Vestibular Heading Discrimination And Sensitivity To Linear Acceleration In Head And World Coordinates, Paul R. Macneilage, Martin S. Banks, Gregory C. Deangelis, Dora E. Angelaki Jul 2010

Vestibular Heading Discrimination And Sensitivity To Linear Acceleration In Head And World Coordinates, Paul R. Macneilage, Martin S. Banks, Gregory C. Deangelis, Dora E. Angelaki

Open Access Publications

Effective navigation and locomotion depend critically on an observer's ability to judge direction of linear self-motion, i.e., heading. The vestibular cue to heading is the direction of inertial acceleration that accompanies transient linear movements. This cue is transduced by the otolith organs. The otoliths also respond to gravitational acceleration, so vestibular heading discrimination could depend on (1) the direction of movement in head coordinates (i.e., relative to the otoliths), (2) the direction of movement in world coordinates (i.e., relative to gravity), or (3) body orientation (i.e., the direction of gravity relative to the otoliths). To quantify these effects, we measured …

Open Access Publications

The rapidly activating and inactivating voltage-gated K(+) (Kv) current, I(A), is broadly expressed in neurons and is a key regulator of action potential repolarization, repetitive firing, backpropagation (into dendrites) of action potentials, and responses to synaptic inputs. Interestingly, results from previous studies on a number of neuronal cell types, including hippocampal, cortical, and spinal neurons, suggest that macroscopic I(A) is composed of multiple components and that each component is likely encoded by distinct Kv channel alpha-subunits. The goals of the experiments presented here were to test this hypothesis and to determine the molecular identities of the Kv channel alpha-subunits that …
