ACTIVITY DEPENDENT PROTEIN DEGRADATION IS CRITICAL FOR THE FORMATION AND STABILITY OF FEAR MEMORY IN THE AMYGDALA.

Activity dependent protein degradation is critical for the formation and stability of fear memory in the amygdala.

Protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system [UPS] plays a critical role in some forms of synaptic plasticity.However, its role in memory formation in the amygdala, a site critical for the formation of fear memories, currently remains unknown.Here we provide the first evidence that protein degradation through the UPS is critically en

Reduced affinity of calcium sensing-receptor heterodimers and reduced mutant homodimer trafficking combine to impair function in a model of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type 1.

Heterozygous loss-of-function mutation of the calcium sensing-receptor (CaSR), causes familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia type 1 (FHH1), a typically benign condition characterized by mild hypercalcemia.In contrast, homozygous mutation of this dimer-forming G-protein coupled receptor manifests as the lethal neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHP

Networks, Politics, and the Literary Public Sphere: The Foundation of Modern Democracy in Taiwan (1970s–1990s)

This article examines how literature is a networked social space of political repression and resistance, refracting broader contestations over national sovereignty, self-determination, and identity.Politicizing the traditionally apolitical “world of letters” Foot Print Magnet Kit in Habermas’s Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere ,
