Abstract Encoding of several sensory modalities into neural signals is mediated by ribbon synapses. The synaptic tethers vesicles at the presynaptic active zone (AZ) and might act as a super-scaffold organizing AZ topography. Here we employed synthetic biology approach to reconstitute ribbon-type AZs in HEK293 cells for probing their minimal molecular requirements studying Ca 2+ channel clustering. Co-expressing membrane-targeted version AZ-protein Bassoon core protein RIBEYE, observed...

High-throughput screening based on molecular simulation, machine learning and black-box optimization identifies promising candidates for forming self-assembled peptide vesicles.
Abstract Cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) form specialized ribbon synapses with spiral ganglion neurons that tireless-ly transmit sound information at high rates over long time periods extreme temporal precision. This functional specialization is essential for precise encoding and attributed to a distinct molecular machinery unique players or splice variants compared conventional neuronal synapses. Among these the active zone (AZ) scaffold protein piccolo/aczonin, which represented by its...
