Microtubule networks in zebrafish hair cells facilitate presynapse transport and fusion during development

Saman Hussain, Katherine L. Pinter, Mara Uhl, Hiu-Tung Wong, Katie S. Kindt

This study shows that microtubule networks in zebrafish hair cells transport and fuse ribbon precursors to form presynaptic densities during development.

Kif1a and intact microtubules maintain synaptic-vesicle populations at ribbon synapses in zebrafish hair cells

Sandeep David, Katherine L. Pinter, Keziah‐Khue Nguyen, David S. Lee, Zhengchang Lei, Yuliya Sokolova, Lavinia Sheets, Katie S. Kindt

The paper shows that Kif1a and microtubules are essential for maintaining synaptic-vesicle populations at ribbon synapses in zebrafish hair cells, affecting neurotransmission and behavior.

Presynaptic Nrxn3 is essential for ribbon-synapse assembly in hair cells

Alma Jukic, Zhengchang Lei, Elizabeth R. Cebul, Katherine L. Pinter, Natalie Mosqueda, Sandeep David, Basile Tarchini, Katie S. Kindt

This study identifies Nrxn3 as essential for ribbon-synapse assembly in hair cells across mouse and zebrafish models, showing its critical role in synaptic function without affecting acoustic startle behavior.

NudC regulated Lis1 stability is essential for maintenance of dynamic microtubule ends in the axon terminal

Dane Kawano, Katherine L. Pinter, Madison Chlebowski, Ronald S. Petralia, Yaxian Wang, Alex V. Nechiporuk, Catherine M. Drerup

This study identifies NudC's role in regulating Lis1 stability to control microtubule dynamics in axon terminals, showing that NudC loss leads to increased microtubule stability through dynein accumulation.
