Predictive Sequence Learning in the Hippocampal Formation

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Yusi Chen, Huanqiu Zhang and Terrence J Sejnowski | Summary: We linked the temporal precision of neural encoding to the implementation of cognitive functions through predictive sequence learning. The hippocampus of rodents receives sequences of sensory inputs from the cortex during exploration and then encodes the sequences with millisecond […]

High-throughput colocalization pipeline quantifies efficacy of mitochondrial targeting signals across different protein types

Kavli Affiliate: Seth Shipman | Authors: Sierra K Lear, Jose A Nunez and Seth L Shipman | Summary: Efficient metabolic engineering and the development of mitochondrial therapeutics often rely upon the specific and strong import of foreign proteins into mitochondria. Fusing a protein to a mitochondria-bound signal peptide is a common method to localize proteins […]

Studying of RNA-protein interactions between a mutant form of glycyl-tRNA synthetase associated with neurodegenerative diseases and IRES type I

Kavli Affiliate: Ekaterina V. Vinogradova | Authors: Ekaterina Vinogradova, Alisa Mikhaylina, Oleg Nikonov and Ekaterina Nikonova | Summary: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) are the main enzymes of protein biosynthesis. Human glycyl-tRNA synthetase, in addition to the main function of amino acid transfer to the corresponding tRNA molecules, is also involved in the initiation of IRES I […]
