Sex-specific dynamics of activity-dependent regulation of synaptic CaMKII

Ankit Sharma, Kelsey J. Clements, Natalie D'Ambra, Julia Birnbaum, Elena A. Kuklin, Martha Reed, Leslie C. Griffith

The paper investigates sex-specific regulation of CaMKII in Drosophila, showing differences in steady-state and activity-dependent levels between males and females without affecting plasticity.

Local translation provides the asymmetric distribution of CaMKII required for associative memory formation

Nannan Chen, Yunpeng Zhang, Mohamed Adel, Elena A. Kuklin, Martha L. Reed, Jacob D. Mardovin, Baskar Bakthavachalu, Krishnaswamy VijayRaghavan, Mani Ramaswami, Leslie C. Griffith

The paper shows that local axonal translation of CaMKII mRNA, mediated by Mub and a 3UTR element, is essential for asymmetric CaMKII distribution and associative memory in Drosophila neurons.

Bantam regulates the adult sleep circuit in Drosophila

Michael Hobin, Katherine Dorfman, Mohamed Adel, Emmanuel J. Rivera-Rodriguez, Elena A. Kuklin, Dingbang Ma, Leslie C. Griffith

This study identifies bantam as a regulator of sleep in Drosophila by inhibiting specific wake-promoting neurons during the night.

Regulation of Eag by calcium/calmodulin controls presynaptic excitability in Drosophila

Peter Bronk, Elena A. Kuklin, Srinivas Gorur-Shandilya, Chang Liu, Timothy D. Wiggin, Martha L. Reed, Eve E. Marder, Leslie C. Griffith

This study shows that Ca2+/CaM inhibition of Drosophila EAG channels regulates presynaptic excitability and memory formation.
