Notable Publications - December 2016

December 2016

What matters to Proteintech is the success of its antibodies in the hands of scientists. In the month of December alone there were over 530 publications citing Proteintech antibodies worldwide. Here’s just a small selection of publications from between December 2016 and the beginning of 2017.

Mutations in the histone methyltransferase gene KMT2B cause complex early-onset dystonia

Abstract: 

Histone lysine methylation, mediated by mixed-lineage leukemia proteins, is now known to be critical in the regulation of gene expression, genomic stability, cell cycle and nuclear architecture. Despite MLL proteins being postulated as essential for normal development, little is known about the specific functions of the different MLL lysine methyltransferases. Here we report heterozygous variants in the gene KMT2B (also known as MLL4) in 27 unrelated individuals with a complex progressive childhood-onset dystonia, often associated with a typical facial appearance and characteristic brain magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Glutamatergic synaptic integration of locomotion speed via septoentorhinal projections

Nature Neuroscience (2017)

Institution: Neuronal Networks Group, German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases

Country: Germany

Cited product: WFS1 Rabbit PolyAb

Product Focus: WFS1 Antibody
KD/KO Validated
Catalog number: 11558-1-AP
Type: Rabbit polyclonal
Applications: ELISA, WB, IP, IHC, IF, coIP
Publications: 20

Abstract:

The medial septum and diagonal band of Broca (MSDB) send glutamatergic axons to medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). We found that this pathway provides speed-correlated input to several MEC cell-types in layer 2/3. The speed signal is integrated most effectively by pyramidal cells but also excites stellate cells and interneurons. Thus, the MSDB conveys speed information that can be used by MEC neurons for spatial representation of self-location.
