Miro1-dependent Mitochondrial Dynamics in Parvalbumin Interneurons

Georgina Kontou, Pantelis Antonoudiou, Marina Podpolny, I. Lorena Arancibia‐Cárcamo, Nathalie Higgs, Blanka R. Szulc, Guillermo López‐Doménech, Patricia C. Salinas, Edward O. Mann, Josef T. Kittler

This study investigates the role of Miro1 in mitochondrial dynamics of parvalbumin interneurons and shows its impact on neuronal signaling and network synchronization.

KCC2 is required for the survival of mature neurons but not for their development

Georgina Kontou, Josephine Ng, Ross A. Cardarelli, Jack H. Howden, Catherine Choi, Qiu Ren, Miguel A. Rodriguez Santos, Christopher E. Bope, Jake S. Dengler, Matt R. Kelley, Paul A Davies, Josef T. Kittler, Nicholas J. Brandon, Stephen J. Moss, Joshua L. Smalley

This study shows that KCC2 is essential for the survival of mature neurons but not for their development or structural formation.

Isolation and characterization of multi-protein complexes enriched in the K-Cl co-transporter 2 from brain plasma membranes

Joshua L. Smalley, Georgina Kontou, Catherine Choi, Qiu Ren, David Albrecht, Krithika Abiraman, Miguel A. Rodriguez Santos, Christopher E. Bope, Tarek Z. Deeb, Paul A Davies, Nicholas J. Brandon, Stephen J. Moss

This study isolates and characterizes multi-protein complexes containing Kcc2 from brain plasma membranes, identifying novel interactors and phosphorylation sites that may regulate its function.

Complementary roles for parvalbumin and somatostatin interneurons in the generation of hippocampal gamma oscillations

Pantelis Antonoudiou, Yu Lin Tan, Georgina Kontou, A. Louise Upton, Edward O. Mann

This study investigates the roles of parvalbumin and somatostatin interneurons in generating slow and fast gamma oscillations in the mouse hippocampus using optogenetics.

Journal of Neuroscience · Aug 28, 2020Peer-reviewedNeuroscience

The K-Cl co-transporter 2 is a point of convergence for multiple autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy risk gene products.

The paper identifies KCC2 as a convergence point for ASD/Epi risk genes through proteomic analysis and shows its interaction with FMRP targets and effects on GABAergic inhibition.
