Shab protein, Aplysia

Prions are proteins that can assume at least two distinct conformational states, one of which is dominant and self-perpetuating… Expand

In the marine mollusk Aplysia limacina, a substantial amount of endogenous D-aspartic acid (D-Asp) was found following its… Expand

Prion proteins have the unusual capacity to fold into two functionally distinct conformations, one of which is self-perpetuating… Expand

Synapse-specific facilitation requires rapamycin-dependent local protein synthesis at the activated synapse. In Aplysia… Expand

Using a simplified preparation of the Aplysia siphon-withdrawal reflex, we previously found that associative plasticity at… Expand

Only a small fraction of neurotransmitter-containing synaptic vesicles (SVs), the readily releasable pool, is available for fast… Expand

Acting through a cAMP-cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK) cascade, members of two neuropeptide families, the small cardioactive… Expand

Although modulation of synaptic transmission between Aplysia mechanosensory and motor neurons has been an important model for… Expand

Learning in the marine mollusk Aplysia has been associated with enhanced sensory function, expressed in mechanosensory neurons as… Expand
