However, the coupling nanotopography at many synapses remains unknown, and it is unclear how it changes during development. To address these questions, we examined coupling at the cerebellar inhibitory basket cell (BC)-Purkinje cell (PC) synapse. Biophysical analysis of transmission by paired recording and intracellular pipette perfusion revealed that the effects of exogenous Ca2+ chelators decreased during development, despite constant reliance of release on P/Q-type Ca2+ channels. Structural analysis by freeze-fracture replica labeling (FRL) and transmission electron microscopy (EM) indicated that presynaptic P/Q-type Ca2+ channels formed nanoclusters throughout development, whereas docked vesicles were only clustered at later developmental stages. Modeling suggested a developmental transformation from a more random to a more clustered coupling nanotopography. Thus, presynaptic signaling developmentally approaches a point-to-point configuration, optimizing speed, reliability, and energy efficiency of synaptic transmission.}, author = {Chen, JingJing and Kaufmann, Walter and Chen, Chong and Arai, Itaru and Kim, Olena and Shigemoto, Ryuichi and Jonas, Peter M}, issn = {1097-4199}, journal = {Neuron}, publisher = {Elsevier}, title = {{Developmental transformation of Ca2+ channel-vesicle nanotopography at a central GABAergic synapse}}, doi = {10.1016/j.neuron.2023.12.002}, year = {2024}, } @phdthesis{15101, author = {Chen, JingJing}, issn = {2663 - 337X}, pages = {84}, publisher = {Institute of Science and Technology Austria}, title = {{Developmental transformation of nanodomain coupling between Ca2+ channels and release sensors at a central GABAergic synapse}}, doi = {10.15479/at:ista:15101}, year = {2024}, } @article{15122, abstract = {Quantum computers are increasing in size and quality but are still very noisy. Error mitigation extends the size of the quantum circuits that noisy devices can meaningfully execute. However, state-of-the-art error mitigation methods are hard to implement and the limited qubit connectivity in superconducting qubit devices restricts most applications to the hardware's native topology. Here we show a quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) on nonplanar random regular graphs with up to 40 nodes enabled by a machine learning-based error mitigation. We use a swap network with careful decision-variable-to-qubit mapping and a feed-forward neural network to optimize a depth-two QAOA on up to 40 qubits. We observe a meaningful parameter optimization for the largest graph which requires running quantum circuits with 958 two-qubit gates. Our paper emphasizes the need to mitigate samples, and not only expectation values, in quantum approximate optimization. These results are a step towards executing quantum approximate optimization at a scale that is not classically simulable. Reaching such system sizes is key to properly understanding the true potential of heuristic algorithms like QAOA.}, author = {Sack, Stefan and Egger, Daniel J.}, issn = {2643-1564}, journal = {Physical Review Research}, number = {1}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, title = {{Large-scale quantum approximate optimization on nonplanar graphs with machine learning noise mitigation}}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.013223}, volume = {6}, year = {2024}, } @article{15118, abstract = {Cell division in all domains of life requires the orchestration of many proteins, but in Archaea most of the machinery remains poorly characterized. Here we investigate the FtsZ-based cell division mechanism in Haloferax volcanii and find proteins containing photosynthetic reaction centre (PRC) barrel domains that play an essential role in archaeal cell division. We rename these proteins cell division protein B 1 (CdpB1) and CdpB2. Depletions and deletions in their respective genes cause severe cell division defects, generating drastically enlarged cells. Fluorescence microscopy of tagged FtsZ1, FtsZ2 and SepF in CdpB1 and CdpB2 mutant strains revealed an unusually disordered divisome that is not organized into a distinct ring-like structure. Biochemical analysis shows that SepF forms a tripartite complex with CdpB1/2 and crystal structures suggest that these two proteins might form filaments, possibly aligning SepF and the FtsZ2 ring during cell division. Overall our results indicate that PRC-domain proteins play essential roles in FtsZ-based cell division in Archaea.}, author = {Nußbaum, Phillip and Kureisaite-Ciziene, Danguole and Bellini, Dom and Van Der Does, Chris and Kojic, Marko and Taib, Najwa and Yeates, Anna and Tourte, Maxime and Gribaldo, Simonetta and Loose, Martin and Löwe, Jan and Albers, Sonja Verena}, issn = {2058-5276}, journal = {Nature Microbiology}, number = {3}, pages = {698--711}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, title = {{Proteins containing photosynthetic reaction centre domains modulate FtsZ-based archaeal cell division}}, doi = {10.1038/s41564-024-01600-5}, volume = {9}, year = {2024}, }
