  2. 1. The paralemmin protein family : Phosphoproteins involved in filopodia and dendritic spine formation

    Author : Nicole G. Neumann; Klas Kullander; Karin Nordström; Eirc Hanse; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Dendritic spines, which connect neurons with each other, constitute most of the excitatory synapses and undergo experience-dependent neuronal plasticity. The function of dendritic spines and their synaptic strength are highly correlated with morphological changes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Protein Folding, Binding and Evolution : PDZ domains and paralemmins as model systems

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein folding; evolution; binding; allostery; Paralemmin; PDZ domain;

    Abstract : Proteins present at the synapse need to be multitasking in order to perform all vital functions in this limited space. In this thesis I have analyzed the function and evolution of such proteins, focusing on the PDZ domain and the paralemmin family. The PDZ domains bind to a wide variety of interaction partners.
