Does myosin VI contribute to synaptic transmission and development at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction?
Altogether these findings indicate that Myosin VI is important for proper synaptic function and morphology. Myosin VI may be functioning as an anchor to tether vesicles to the bouton periphery and, thereby, participating in the regulation of synaptic vesicle mobilization during synaptic transmission.
Erbin mediates catecholamine-induced β2-AR/Her2 complexation and promotes catecholamine-induced activation of ERK signaling in cardiomyocytes, conferring protection of cardiomyocytes from apoptosis induced by chronic catecholamine stimulation.
