Assembly and Function of Ion Channel Clusters

Authors Kovács S, Li H, Bühlmann P, Munk A Journal Biometrika Citation Biometrika, 2022, asac052. Abstract We propose seeded binary segmentation for large scale changepoint detection problems. We construct a deterministic set of background intervals, called seeded intervals, in which single changepoint candidates are searched for. The final selection of

Abstract Calpains are calcium-activated neutral proteases involved in the regulation of key signaling pathways. Junctophilin-2 (JP2) is a Calpain-specific

Authors Mukhopadhyay M, Pangrsic T Journal Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience Citation Mol Cell Neurosci. 2022 Jun 3;121:103749. Abstract A harmonized interplay between the central nervous system and the five peripheral end organs is how the vestibular system helps organisms feel a sense of balance and motion in three-dimensional space. The

Authors Lehnart SE, Wehrens XHT Journal Physiological Reviews Citation Physiol Rev. 2022 Jan 10. Abstract Junctophilins (JPHs) comprise a family of structural proteins that connect the plasma membrane to intracellular organelles such as the endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum. Tethering of these membrane structures results in the formation of highly organized subcellular junctions

Authors Gregor I, Butkevich E, Enderlein J, Mojiri S Journal Biophysical Reports Citation Biophysical Reports 1 (1), 8 Sep 2021, 100001. Abstract One of the most widely used microscopy techniques in biology and medicine is fluorescence microscopy, offering high specificity in labeling as well as maximal sensitivity. For live-cell imaging,

Authors Sadredini M, Manotheepan R, Lehnart SE, Anderson ME, Sjaastad I, Stokke MK Journal Physiological Reports Citation Physiol Rep. 2021 Sep;9(18):e15030. Abstract Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia type 1 (CPVT1) is an inherited arrhythmogenic disorder caused by missense mutations in the cardiac ryanodine receptors (RyR2), that result in increased β-adrenoceptor stimulation-induced

Authors Siegmund R, Werner F, Jakobs S, Geisler C, Egner A Journal Biophysical Journal Citation Biophys J. 2021 Jul 8:S0006-3495(21)00556-7. Abstract Fluorescence microscopy is an excellent tool to gain knowledge on cellular structures and biochemical processes. Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy provides a resolution in the range of a few

Authors Hehlert P, Zhang W, Göpfert MC Journal Trends in Neurosciences Citation Trends Neurosci. 2020 Nov 27:S0166-2236(20)30251-4. Abstract Mechanosensation in Drosophila relies on sensory neurons transducing mechanical stimuli into ionic currents. The molecular mechanisms of this transduction are in the process of being revealed. Transduction relies on mechanogated ion channels

Authors Krüger JR, Keller-Findeisen J, Geisler C, Egner A Journal Biomedical Optics Express Citation Biomed. Opt. Express 11, 3139-3163 (2020). Abstract Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is a versatile imaging method with diffraction-unlimited resolution. Here, we present a novel STED microscopy variant that achieves either increased resolution at equal laser
