Compartmentalizing the neuronal plasma membrane from axon initial segments to synapses. (2009, background): “Both carriers, PTV and STV, seem to be derived from the Golgi apparatus even though they contain distinct sets of proteins (Dresbach et al., 2006; Friedman et al., 2000; Zhai et al., 2001).”
LAR, liprin α and the regulation of active zone morphogenesis (2007, background): “These dense-core vesicles contain a diverse array of active-zone-enriched proteins, and current models suggest that an individual active zone is assembled by the fusion of only a few of these dense-core vesicles at a specific presynaptic site (Shapira et al., 2003; Zhai et al., 2001).”
Wired for reproduction: organization and development of sexually dimorphic circuits in the mammalian forebrain. (2002, background): “…direct imaging experiments that show dynamic interactions between dendritic spines and afferent axons during synaptogenesis (Dailey et al. 1994, Zhai et al. 2001, Ziv & Smith 1996), these observations suggest the possibility that steroid hormones influence synapse formation in sexually…”
Role of β-Catenin in Synaptic Vesicle Localization and Presynaptic Assembly (2003, unknown): “, 2001; Polo-Parada potential active zone (Zhai et al., 2001).”
Balancing structure and function at hippocampal dendritic spines. (2008, background): “Dense core vesicles containing piccolo and bassoon appear in axonal processes within 2 days and cluster along dendritic profiles by 4 days in vitro in cultured hippocampal neurons, which suggests that presynaptic active zones are prepackaged (Zhai et al. 2001, Shapira et al. 2003).”
