Optimal Neuromuscular Performance Requires Motor Neuron Phosphagen Kinases

Karlis Anthony Justs, Danielle V. Latner, Carlos D. Oliva, Yosuf Arab, Gabriel G. Bonassi, Olena Mahneva, Sarah Crill, Sergio Sempertegui, Paul A. Kirchman, Yaouen Fily, Gregory Talisker Macleod

This study shows that phosphagen systems in Drosophila motor neurons are critical for sustaining neurotransmitter release at high firing frequencies, not for ATP provision.

Bichromatic exon-reporters reveal voltage-gated Ca2+-channel splice-isoform diversity across Drosophila neurons in vivo

Touhid Feghhi, Roberto X. Hernandez, Olena Mahneva, Carlos D. Oliva, Gregory Talisker Macleod

The paper develops bichromatic fluorescent reporters in Drosophila to study voltage-gated Ca2+-channel splice-isoform diversity across neurons in vivo.

Ultrastructural analysis reveals mitochondrial placement independent of synapse placement in fine caliber C. elegans neurons

Danielle V. Riboul, Sarah Crill, Carlos D. Oliva, Maria Gabriela Restifo, Reggie Joseph, Kerdes Joseph, Ken C. Q. Nguyen, David H. Hall, Yaouen Fily, Gregory Talisker Macleod

The paper analyzes ultrastructural data from C. elegans neurons to assess mitochondrial distribution relative to synapses, finding limited sub-cellular control over mitochondrial placement in fine caliber neurons.

Mitochondrial phosphagen kinases support the volatile power demands of motor nerve terminals

Karlis Anthony Justs, Sergio Sempertegui, Danielle V. Riboul, Carlos D. Oliva, Ryan J. Durbin, Sarah Crill, Michał Stawarski, Chenchen Su, Robert Renden, Yaouen Fily, Gregory Talisker Macleod

The paper quantifies power demand fluctuations in motor nerve terminals and identifies phosphagen systems as critical for ATP buffering during synaptic activity.
