    Purkinje cells (PC) control spike timing of neighboring PC by their recurrent axon collaterals. These synapses underlie fast cerebellar oscillations and are characterized by a strong facilitation within a time window of i transients were previously shown to be bigger in PC boutons of young (second postnatal week) CB-/- mice, yet IPSC mean amplitudes remained unaltered in connected CB–/– PC. Since PC spine morphology is altered in adult CB–/– mice (longer necks, larger spine head volume), we summoned that morphological compensation/adaptation mechanisms might also be induced in CB–/– PC axon collaterals including boutons. In these mice, biocytin-filled PC reconstructions revealed that the number of axonal varicosities per PC axon collateral was augmented, mostly confined to the granule cell layer. Additionally, the volume of individual boutons was increased, evidenced from z-stacks of confocal images. EM analysis of PC–PC synapses revealed an enhancement in active zone (AZ) length by approximately 23%, paralleled by a higher number of docked vesicles per AZ in CB–/– boutons. Moreover, synaptic cleft width was larger in CB–/– (23.8 ± 0.43 nm) compared to wild type (21.17 ± 0.39 nm) synapses. We propose that the morphological changes, i.e., the larger bouton volume, the enhanced AZ length and the higher number of docked vesicles, in combination with the increase in synaptic cleft width likely modifies the GABA release properties at this synapse in CB–/– mice. We view these changes as adaptation/homeostatic mechanisms to likely maintain characteristics of synaptic transmission in the absence of the fast CaÂČâș buffer CB. Our study provides further evidence on the functioning of the CaÂČâș homeostasome

    TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access

    Plant traits - the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants - determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait‐based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits - almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives

    Drugs activating G proteins disturb cycling of ADH-dependent water channels in toad urinary bladder.

    No full text
    In the toad urinary bladder, antidiuretic hormone (ADH)-mediated changes in water permeability depend on exocytic insertion and endocytic retrieval of water channels into and from the apical membrane, respectively. Because GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) are well-recognized regulators of vesicular trafficking throughout the cell, we tested the hypothesis that drugs interfering with G protein would modify the hydrosmotic response to ADH and the ADH-regulated formation of endosomes, as assessed by luminal incorporation of a fluid-phase marker [fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran, 70 kDa]. Mastoparan (4 microM) and compound 48/80 (poly-p-methoxyphenylethylmethylamine; 50 micrograms/ml), added to the luminal side of the toad urinary bladder, as well as AlF3 added to the serosal side (400 microM), inhibited ADH- and 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-induced transepithelial water flow by > 50% and simultaneously enhanced cellular incorporation of FITC-dextran by > 200%. The pattern of FITC-dextran uptake observed using fluorescence microscopy both in scraped cells and in the intact bladder was granular, suggesting fluid-phase endocytosis. Mastoparan and AlF3, which are both probes of G proteins, increased FITC-dextran uptake only in the presence of ADH and a transepithelial osmotic gradient, i.e. under conditions where water channel-carrying endosomes presumably cycle. Therefore, we suggest that the ADH-dependent cycling of water channels could be controlled by one or more G proteins associated with the apical membrane and/or the water channel-carrying vesicles.Journal ArticleResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
