Transcriptional Feedback Links Lipid Synthesis to Synaptic Vesicle Pools in Drosophila Photoreceptors.

abstract：:When faced with a crowded visual scene, observers must selectively attend to behaviorally relevant objects to avoid sensory overload. Often this selection process is guided by prior knowledge of a target-defining feature (e.g., the color red when looking for an apple), which enhances the firing rate of visual neurons ...

abstract：:Charybdotoxin (CTX) blocks high conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels by binding to a receptor site in the externally facing "mouth." Toxin bound to the channel can be destabilized from its site by K+ entering the channel from the opposite, internal, solution. By analyzing point mutants of CTX expressed in E. coli,...
