CRISPR-mediated Stxbp1 gene activation ameliorates epileptic and aggressive phenotypes in Stxbp1-haploinsufficient mice
Mutations in the syntaxin-binding protein 1 (STXBP1) gene, which encodes the presynaptic protein Munc18-1, cause a spectrum of severe epileptic encephalopathies and neurodevelopmental disorders, including Ohtahara syndrome, for which no curative treatment is currently available. Because the disease pathomechanism is thought to be driven by haploinsufficiency, restoring expression of the wild-type allele to physiological levels could provide therapeutic benefit. Here, we evaluated...
Spontaneous neurotransmitter release is regulated by Unc-5
The spontaneous quantal release of single vesicles of neurotransmitter in the absence of an action potential is a universal feature of all neuronal chemical synapses. These miniature events have long been thought to be stochastic and unregulated, leading to measurement of their frequency as a widely employed estimate of the number of synaptic connections within neuronal networks. Here we show using high resolution live imaging of Drosophila adult glutamatergic synapses that the spontaneous...
