• Chip protein U-box domain truncation affects Purkinje neuron morphology and leads to behavioral changes in zebrafish 

      Pakdaman, Yasaman; Denker, Elsa; Austad, Eirik; Norton, William H.J.; Rolfsnes, Hans Olav; Bindoff, Laurence Albert; Tzoulis, Charalampos; Aukrust, Ingvild; Knappskog, Per Morten; Johansson, Stefan; Ellingsen, Ståle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-24)
      The ubiquitin ligase CHIP (C-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein) is encoded by STUB1 and promotes ubiquitination of misfolded and damaged proteins. CHIP deficiency has been linked to several diseases, and mutations in ...
    • Detection of Arc/Arg3.1 oligomers in rat brain: constitutive and synaptic activity-evoked dimer expression in vivo 

      Mergiya, Tadiwos Feyissa; Gundersen, Jens Edvard Trygstad; Kanhema, Tambudzai; Brighter, Grant Mitchell; Ishizuka, Yuta; Bramham, Clive Raymond Evjen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The immediate early gene product activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc or Arg3.1) is a major regulator of long-term synaptic plasticity with critical roles in postnatal cortical development and memory ...
    • Direct Binding of the Flexible C-Terminal Segment of Periaxin to β4 Integrin Suggests a Molecular Basis for CMT4F 

      Raasakka, Arne; Linxweiler, Helen; Brophy, Peter J; Sherman, Diane L; Kursula, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-09)
      The process of myelination in the nervous system requires a coordinated formation of both transient and stable supramolecular complexes. Myelin-specific proteins play key roles in these assemblies, which may link membranes ...
    • GSK3α and GSK3β Phosphorylate Arc and Regulate its Degradation 

      Gozdz, Agata; Nikolaienko, Oleksii; Urbanska, Malgorzata; Cymerman, Iwona; Sitkiewicz, Ewa; Blazejczyk, Magdalena; Dadlez, Michal; Bramham, Clive R.; Jaworski, Jacek (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-06-16)
      The selective and neuronal activity-dependent degradation of synaptic proteins appears to be crucial for long-term synaptic plasticity. One such protein is activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc), which ...
