Knockout or inhibition of USP30 protects dopaminergic neurons in a Parkinson’s disease mouse model by Tracy-Shi Zhang Fang, Yu Sun, Andrew C. Pearce, Simona Eleuteri, Mark Kemp, Christopher A. Luckhurst, Rachel Williams, Ross Mills, Sarah Almond, Laura Burzynski, Nóra M. Márkus, Christopher J. Lelliott, Natasha A. Karp, David J. Adams, Stephen P. Jackson, Jin-Feng Zhao, Ian G. Ganley, Paul W. Thompson, Gabriel Balmus, David K. Simon

“…This α-synucleinopathy leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, which may drive dopaminergic neurodegeneration. PARKIN and PINK1, mutated in autosomal recessive PD, regulate the preferential autophagic clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria (“mitophagy”) by inducing ubiquitylation of mitochondrial proteins, a process counteracted by deubiquitylation via USP30. …”

Taste Cells of the Type III Employ CASR to Maintain Steady Serotonin Exocytosis at Variable Ca²⁺ in the Extracellular Medium by Aleksandr P. Cherkashin, Olga A. Rogachevskaja, Natalia V. Kabanova, Polina D. Kotova, Marina F. Bystrova, Stanislav S. Kolesnikov

“…The serotonin release from type III cells was assayed with the biosensor approach by using HEK-293 cells co-expressing the recombinant 5-HT4 receptor and genetically encoded cAMP sensor Pink Flamindo. Consistently with the weak Ca²⁺ dependence of intracellular Ca²⁺ transients produced by VG Ca²⁺ entry, depolarization-triggered serotonin secretion varied negligibly with bath Ca²⁺. …”
