miR-8 controls synapse structure by repression of the actin regulator enabled.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 May 2014

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that play important roles in nervous system development and physiology. However, our understanding of the strategies by which miRNAs control synapse development is limited. We find that the highly conserved miRNA miR-8 regulates the morphology of presynaptic arbors at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ) through a postsynaptic...
