Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) is a powerful technique that combines the chemical and spatial analysis of surface materials. It allows spatial localization of peptides, proteins or lipids that are recorded in parallel without the need of a label. It is currently one of the most rapidly developing techniques in the proteomics toolbox. In the present study, accurate mass matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization...
A family of neuropeptides called Command Neuron Peptides (CNPs) was described ten years ago as the protein products of the gene HCS2, specifically expressed in the identified interneurons of the nervous system of terrestrial snail (Helix lucorum L. and H. pomatia L.). Recently, the CNP-like peptides have been detected by immunochemistry and immunoblotting in nervous systems of representatives of different...
Intracellular tetanization of premotor interneurons for withdrawal in the snail. Helix lucorum produces long-term facilitation of synaptic inputs of these neurons. Using this model of plasticity we investigated the role of calcium in postsynaptic induction of synaptic facilitation. It was shown that, from the one hand, postsynaptic injection of calcium chelator EGTA completely abolishes potentiation...
Lesser, W., S. W. P. Falconer and G. A. Cottrell. Actions of Fmrfamide-related peptides on the gCa2+ of the C1 neuron in Helix aspersa. Peptides 18(6) 909–911, 1997.—The endogenous neuropeptides FMRFamide and FLRFamide (tetrapeptides) reversibly reduced a voltage-activated calcium current in the C1 neuron of Helix aspersa by an average of 20%. Two structurally related heptapeptides, pQDPFLRFamide...
