In Drosophila, retrograde BMP signaling at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is required presynaptically for proper synapse growth and neurotransmitter release. In this study, we analyzed whether the Activin branch of the TGF-β superfamily also contributes to NMJ development and function. We find that elimination of the Activin/TGF-β type I receptor babo, or its downstream signal transducer smox, does not affect presynaptic NMJ growth or evoked excitatory junctional potentials (EJPs), but instead results in a number of postsynaptic defects including depolarized membrane potential, small size and frequency of miniature excitatory junction potentials (mEJPs), and decreased synaptic densities of the glutamate receptors GluRIIA and B. The majority of the defective smox synaptic phenotypes were rescued by muscle-specific expression of a smox transgene. Furthermore, a mutation in actβ, an Activin-like ligand that is strongly expressed in motor neurons, phenocopies babo and smox loss-of-function alleles. Our results demonstrate that anterograde Activin/TGF-β signaling at the Drosophila NMJ is crucial for achieving normal abundance and localization of several important postsynaptic signaling molecules and for regulating postsynaptic membrane physiology. Together with the well-established presynaptic role of the retrograde BMP signaling, our findings indicate that the two branches of the TGF-β superfamily are differentially deployed on each side of the Drosophila NMJ synapse to regulate distinct aspects of its development and function.", "link"=>"http://www.mendeley.com/research/anterograde-activin-signaling-regulates-postsynaptic-membrane-potential-gluriiab-abundance-drosophil", "reader_count"=>23, "reader_count_by_academic_status"=>{"Researcher"=>3, "Student > Doctoral Student"=>1, "Student > Ph.

In <i>Drosophila</i>, retrograde BMP signaling at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is required presynaptically for proper synapse growth and neurotransmitter release. In this study, we analyzed whether the Activin branch of the TGF-β superfamily also contributes to NMJ development and function. We find that elimination of the Activin/TGF-β type I receptor <i>babo,</i> or its downstream signal transducer <i>smox,</i> does not affect presynaptic NMJ growth or evoked excitatory junctional potentials (EJPs), but instead results in a number of postsynaptic defects including depolarized membrane potential, small size and frequency of miniature excitatory junction potentials (mEJPs), and decreased synaptic densities of the glutamate receptors GluRIIA and B. The majority of the defective <i>smox</i> synaptic phenotypes were rescued by muscle-specific expression of a <i>smox</i> transgene. Furthermore, a mutation in <i>actβ</i>, an Activin-like ligand that is strongly expressed in motor neurons, phenocopies <i>babo</i> and <i>smox</i> loss-of-function alleles. Our results demonstrate that anterograde Activin/TGF-β signaling at the <i>Drosophila</i> NMJ is crucial for achieving normal abundance and localization of several important postsynaptic signaling molecules and for regulating postsynaptic membrane physiology. Together with the well-established presynaptic role of the retrograde BMP signaling, our findings indicate that the two branches of the TGF-β superfamily are differentially deployed on each side of the <i>Drosophila</i> NMJ synapse to regulate distinct aspects of its development and function.</p></div>", "links"=>[], "tags"=>["junction potentials", "synapse growth", "postsynaptic defects", "depolarized membrane", "tgf", "Drosophila Neuromuscular Junction Members", "Activin branch", "superfamily", "postsynaptic membrane physiology", "Anterograde Activin Signaling Regulates Postsynaptic Membrane", "motor neurons", "bmp", "smox synaptic phenotypes", "presynaptic NMJ growth", "neurotransmitter release", "Drosophila NMJ", "Drosophila NMJ synapse", "function", "presynaptic role", "glutamate receptors GluRIIA", "synaptic densities", "NMJ development", "signal transducer smox", "junctional potentials", "receptor babo", "smox transgene", "phenocopies babo", "system development", "ejp"], "article_id"=>1183094, "categories"=>["Biological Sciences"], "users"=>["Myung-Jun Kim", "Michael B.
