Laminin supports neurite outgrowth from explants of axotomized adult rat retinal neurons
(Elsevier, 1986-07)
The influence of laminin on neurite outgrowth from explants of adult rat retina and its distribution in normal and lesioned rat optic nerves were examined. Neurite outgrowth required the presence of laminin in the substratum, ...
Regulation of Drosophila FMRFamide neuropeptide gene expression
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-06-05)
Physiologically important peptides are often encoded in precursors that contain several gene products; thus, regulation of expression of polypeptide proteins is crucial to transduction pathways. Differential processing of ...
Wortmannin Blocks Goldfish Retinal Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase and Neurite Outgrowth
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-04)
The goldfish retina has been used extensively for the study of nerve regeneration. A role for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in neurite outgrowth from goldfish retinal explants has been examined by means of wortmannin ...
Studies of Posttranslational Modifications in Spiny Dogfish Myelin Basic Protein
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-05)
The objective of this investigation was to determine whether nonmammalian myelin basic protein contained charge isomers resulting from extensive posttranslational modifications as seen in mammalian MBP. Four charge isomer ...
Transport of proteins and sulfated mucopolysaccharides in the goldfish visual system This paper was presented at a symposium on axoplasmic flow at the second meeting of the American Society for Neurochemistry, Hershey, Pennsylvania, March 15, 1971 This work was supported by grant MH 12506 of the National Institute of Mental Health and GB-5125X of the National Science Foundation.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1971)
3 H-Proline, 3 H-asparagine and Na 2 35 SO 4 have been found to be highly specific markers for axonal transport in the goldfish visual system. The amino acids label both rapidly and slowly transported proteins while the ...
Dissociation of enhanced ornithine decarboxylase activity and optic nerve regeneration in goldfish
(Elsevier, 1982-06)
The significance of a previously observed increase in retinal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, EC 4.1.1.17) following optic nerve crush was investigated in goldfish using a specific irreversible inhibitor of ODC, [alpha]-di ...
Isolation and Immunocytochemical Characterization of Three Tachykinin-Related Peptides from the Mosquito, Culex salinarius
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-02)
Three myotropic peptides belonging to the Arg-amide insect tachykinin family were isolated from whole-body extracts of the mosquito, Culex salinarius . The peptides, APSGFMGMR-NH 2 , APYGFTGMR-NH 2 and APSGFFGMR-NH 2 ...
Nucleotide sequence and expression of the mouse corticotropin-releasing hormone gene
(Elsevier, 1991-06)
The mouse corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) gene has been isolated and characterized by DNA sequence analysis. The gene exhibits a structural organization similar to that of the human, rat, and ovine genes with two ...
Quantitative in vivo receptor binding IV: Detection of muscarinic receptor down-regulation by equilibrium and by tracer kinetic methods
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-09)
Newly-developed methods for estimation of in vivo binding to neurotransmitter receptors should enable the detection and quantification of physiologic or pathologic changes in receptor numbers. In the present study, both ...
