Cellular and subcellular localization of Marlin-1 in the brainRené L Vidal
Fisiologia y Biofisica, Instituto de Ciencias Biomedicas, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Chile, Independencia, Santiago, Chile
BMC Neurosci 10:37. 2009
..Marlin-1 is expressed mainly in the central nervous system but little is known regarding its cellular and subcellular distribution in the brain...
RNA interference of Marlin-1/Jakmip1 results in abnormal morphogenesis and migration of cortical pyramidal neuronsRené L Vidal
Program of Physiology and Biophysics, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile
Mol Cell Neurosci 51:1-11. 2012
..Our results support the involvement of Marlin-1 in the acquisition of the complex architecture and migration of pyramidal neurons, two fundamental processes for the laminar layering of the cortex...
Marlin-1 and conventional kinesin link GABAB receptors to the cytoskeleton and regulate receptor transportRené L Vidal
Physiology and Biophysics, ICBM, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de Chile Independencia 1027, Santiago, Chile
Mol Cell Neurosci 35:501-12. 2007
..Finally, we report that a kinesin-I mutant severely impairs receptor transport. We conclude that Marlin-1 and kinesin-1 link GABA(B)Rs to the tubulin cytoskeleton in neurons...
Dendritic assembly of heteromeric gamma-aminobutyric acid type B receptor subunits in hippocampal neuronsOmar A Ramírez
Physiology and Biophysics, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile
J Biol Chem 284:13077-85. 2009
..Our results are consistent with a bulk flow of segregated subunits through the ER and rule out a post-Golgi vesicular transport of preassembled GABA(B)Rs...
Crosstalk between the UPR and autophagy pathway contributes to handling cellular stress in neurodegenerative diseaseRené L Vidal
Biomedical Neuroscience Institute, Faculty of Medicine, University of Chile, Santiago, Chile
Autophagy 8:970-2. 2012
..These stress sensors control the expression of specialized transcription factors that modulate the upregulation of a variety of target genes involved in folding, protein quality control, autophagy and protein synthesis...
Targeting the UPR transcription factor XBP1 protects against Huntington's disease through the regulation of FoxO1 and autophagyRené L Vidal
Faculty of Medicine, Neuroscience Biomedical Institute, University of Chile, Santiago, Chile
Hum Mol Genet 21:2245-62. 2012
..Our results provide strong evidence supporting an involvement of XBP1 in HD pathogenesis probably due to an ER stress-independent mechanism involving the control of FoxO1 and autophagy levels...
