Abstract excerpt
A neuronal F-box protein FSN-1 regulates Caenorhabditis elegans neuromuscular junction development by negatively regulating DLK-mediated MAPK signalling. In the present study, we show that attenuation of insulin/IGF signalling also contributes to FSN-1-dependent synaptic development and function. The aberrant synapse morphology and synaptic transmission in fsn-1 mutants are partially and specifically rescued by...
