Double mutation of open syntaxin and UNC-18 P334A leads to excitatory-inhibitory imbalance and impairs multiple aspects of C. elegans behavior

Mengjia Huang, Ya Wang, Chun Hin Chow, Karolina P. Stepien, Karen Indrawinata, Junjie Xu, Peter Argiropoulos, Xiaoyu Xie, Kyoko Sugita, Chi-Wei Tien, Soomin Lee, Philippe Patrick Monnier, Josep Rizo, Shangbang Gao, Shuzo Sugita

The paper investigates the combined effects of two exocytosis-enhancing mutations in C. elegans and finds they disrupt excitatory-inhibitory balance and impair multiple behaviors.

Open syntaxin overcomes synaptic transmission defects in diverse C. elegans exocytosis mutants

Chi-Wei Tien, Bin Yu, Mengjia Huang, Karolina P. Stepien, Kyoko Sugita, Xiaoyu Xie, Liping Han, Philippe Patrick Monnier, Mei Zhen, Josep Rizo, Shangbang Gao, Shuzo Sugita

This study shows that overexpressing an open form of syntaxin can rescue exocytosis defects in multiple C. elegans mutants, suggesting a general mechanism to enhance synaptic transmission.
