text: The axon terminals (mossy fibers) of hippocampal dentate granule cells form
characteristic synaptic connections with large spines or excrescences of both
hilar mossy cells and CA3 pyramidal neurons. Interneurons of the hilar region
and area CA3 are also prominent targets of mossy fibers. The tracing of biocytin-filled
mossy fibers and immunolabeling of target cells with interneuron markers has revealed
that the majority of mossy fiber synapses project to gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic
inhibitory interneurons rather than to excitatory principal cells, although the
functional implications of these quantitative differences are unclear. Following
a brief description of the "classical" mossy fiber synapse on excrescences
of CA3 pyramidal cells, the present review focuses on the contacts formed between
granule cells and GABAergic interneurons, both normally and after synaptic reorganization.
In response to deafferentation of mossy cell target cells, which include both
granule cells and interneurons, mossy fibers "sprout" new axon collaterals
that form a band of supragranular mossy fibers in the inner molecular layer of
the dentate gyrus. Although most newly formed recurrent mossy fibers establish
synapses with granule cells, there is an apparently convergent input of new mossy
fibers onto GABA-immunoreactive interneuron dendrites that traverse the inner
molecular layer. These mossy fiber-interneuron synapses in the dentate gyrus are
observed in chronically epileptic rats and may be the structural correlate of
the granule cell hyperinhibition observed in these animals in vivo. Together,
the findings reviewed here establish mossy fiber synapses as an important component
of inhibitory circuits in the hippocampus.

text: It is widely accepted that the hippocampus plays a major role in learning
and memory. The mossy fiber synapse between granule cells in the dentate gyrus
and pyramidal neurons in the CA3 region is a key component of the hippocampal
trisynaptic circuit. Recent work, partially based on direct presynaptic patch-clamp
recordings from hippocampal mossy fiber boutons, sheds light on the mechanisms
of synaptic transmission and plasticity at mossy fiber synapses. A high Na(+)
channel density in mossy fiber boutons leads to a large amplitude of the presynaptic
action potential. Together with the fast gating of presynaptic Ca(2+) channels,
this generates a large and brief presynaptic Ca(2+) influx, which can trigger
transmitter release with high efficiency and temporal precision. The large number
of release sites, the large size of the releasable pool of vesicles, and the huge
extent of presynaptic plasticity confer unique strength to this synapse, suggesting
a large impact onto the CA3 pyramidal cell network under specific behavioral conditions.
The characteristic properties of the hippocampal mossy fiber synapse may be important
for pattern separation and information storage in the dentate gyrus-CA3 cell network.

text: Networks of GABAergic neurons are key elements in the generation of gamma
oscillations in the brain. Computational studies suggested that the emergence
of coherent oscillations requires hyperpolarizing inhibition. Here, we show that
GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition in mature interneurons of the hippocampal
dentate gyrus is shunting rather than hyperpolarizing. Unexpectedly, when shunting
inhibition is incorporated into a structured interneuron network model with fast
and strong synapses, coherent oscillations emerge. In comparison to hyperpolarizing
inhibition, networks with shunting inhibition show several advantages. First,
oscillations are generated with smaller tonic excitatory drive. Second, network
frequencies are tuned to the gamma band. Finally, robustness against heterogeneity
in the excitatory drive is markedly improved. In single interneurons, shunting
inhibition shortens the interspike interval for low levels of drive but prolongs
it for high levels, leading to homogenization of neuronal firing rates. Thus,
shunting inhibition may confer increased robustness to gamma oscillations in the
brain.

text: Invasive species often dramatically change native species communities by directly
and indirectly out-competing native species. We studied the direct interference
abilities of the invasive garden ant, Lasius neglectus VAN LOON, BOOMSMA &
ANDRÁSFALVY, 1990, by performing one-to-one aggression tests of L. neglectus workers
towards three native Lasius ant species that occur at the edge of a L. neglectus
supercolony in Seva, Spain. Our results show that L. neglectus is highly aggressive
against all three native Lasius species tested (L. grandis FOREL, 1909, L. emarginatus
(OLIVIER, 1792), and L. cinereus SEIFERT, 1992), expressed as a higher attack
rate of L. neglectus and behavioural dominance throughout the aggressive encounters.
Attacks of L. neglectus were performed fastest and most frequent against L. grandis,
and also the highest antennation frequencies were observed in encounters between
these two species. This could be due to the largest difference in body size, or
due to a greater overlap in ecological niche between L. neglectus and L. grandis
compared to the other two native species. There was only weak support for L. neglectus
workers from the periphery of the supercolony to be more aggressive relative to
workers from the centre, even though the former encounter native ant species on
a daily basis at the edge of the supercolony.

text: We compare the performances of established means of character selection for
discriminant analysis in species distinction with a combination procedure for
finding the optimal character combination (minimum classification error, minimum
number of required characters), using morphometric data sets from the ant genera
Cardiocondyla, Lasius and Tetramorium. The established methods are empirical character
selection as well as forward selection, backward elimination and stepwise selection
of discriminant analysis. The combination procedure is clearly superior to the
established methods of character selection, and is widely applicable.

text: Many invasive ant species, such as the Argentine ant or the red imported fire
ant, have huge colonies with thousands of mass-foraging workers, which quickly
monopolise resources and therefore represent a considerable threat to the native
ant fauna. Cardiocondyla obscurior and several other species of this myrmicine
genus have similarly been transferred throughout the tropics by human activities.
However, because their colonies are tiny and workers forage solitarily, Cardiocondyla
are often not recognized as successful invaders. Here, we document that the life
history of Cardiocondyla closely resembles that of the more conspicuous tramp
species, with polygyny, intranidal mating, budding, worker sterility, low genetic
variability, and possibly also unicoloniality. Given that introduced Cardiocondyla
may locally reach a very high population density, the effects of these stealthy
invaders on the native arthropod fauna should receive more attention.

text: 'OBJECTIVES: The EGFR is expressed in malignant ovarian tumor tissue, and
tissue content of EGFR has been directly associated with poor prognosis in patients
with ovarian cancer. The uPA system plays a role in pericellular proteolysis,
cell migration, invasion, and is over-expressed in ovarian cancer. This study
explored the effects of EGF on uPAR expression in the ovarian cancer cell line
OVCAR-3. METHODS: We used OVCAR-3 cells and the following methods: cell migration
assay, time-lapse video microscopy, real-time PCR, assays for cellular binding
of 125I-uPA and cellular degradation of 125I-uPA:PAI-1 complex, biosynthetic labeling
using 35S-methionin, Western blot, Northern blot, and ELISAs for uPA, PAI-1, and
uPAR. RESULTS: EGF up-regulates both protein and mRNA not only for uPAR, but also
for the ligand uPA and its inhibitor PAI-1. Cell surface uPAR, in control as well
as EGF-stimulated cells, is present only in the intact, not the cleaved, form.
Ligand binding experiments showed an increase of endogenously occupied uPAR, whereas
non-occupied receptor sites were not increased. In addition, EGF treatment resulted
in decreased degradation of radiolabeled uPA:PAI-1 complex. This suggests decreased
internalization of uPAR, since the complex is internalized together with uPAR.
Like EGF, colchicine, which inhibits endocytosis, increased cell surface expression
of uPAR. In addition, we found an immediate increase of uPAR after exposing the
cells to EGF and this was accompanied by a transient increase of cell migration.
The increase of cell surface uPAR in response to EGF is accompanied by increased
release of the soluble form of uPAR (suPAR) to the medium as well as by increased
cell migration. Both uPAR and suPAR increased in cells treated with the endocytosis
inhibitor colchicine even though cell migration was inhibited, suggesting that
the mechanism of uPAR shedding is not related to cell migration. CONCLUSION: Increased
cell surface uPAR in response to EGF stimulation results from mobilization of
uPAR from detergent-resistant domains, increased expression of uPAR mRNA, and
decreased internalization and degradation of uPAR. Both the anti-uPAR antibody
R3, which inhibits binding of uPA, and the EGFR phosphorylation inhibitor Iressa
inhibited cell migration in response to uPA as well as to EGF, suggesting that
EGFR and uPAR are engaged in the same multiprotein assembly on the cell surface.'

text: Evaluating the quality of experimentally determined protein structural models
is an essential step toward identifying potential errors and guiding further structural
refinement. Herein, we report the use of proton local density as a sensitive measure
to assess the quality of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structures. Using 256
high-resolution crystal structures with protons added and optimized, we show that
the local density of different proton types display distinct distributions. These
distributions can be characterized by statistical moments and are used to establish
local density Z-scores for evaluating both global and local packing for individual
protons. Analysis of 546 crystal structures at various resolutions shows that
the local density Z-scores increase as the structural resolution decreases and
correlate well with the ClashScore (Word et al. J Mol Biol 1999;285(4):1711-1733)
generated by all atom contact analysis. Local density Z-scores for NMR structures
exhibit a significantly wider range of values than for X-ray structures and demonstrate
a combination of potentially problematic inflation and compression. Water-refined
NMR structures show improved packing quality. Our analysis of a high-quality structural
ensemble of ubiquitin refined against order parameters shows proton density distributions
that correlate nearly perfectly with our standards derived from crystal structures,
further validating our approach. We present an automated analysis and visualization
tool for proton packing to evaluate the quality of NMR structures.

text: Protein-protein interactions, which form the basis for most cellular processes,
result in the formation of protein interfaces. Believing that the local shape
of proteins is crucial, we take a geometric approach and present a definition
of an interface surface formed by two or more proteins as a subset of their Voronoi
diagram. The definition deals with the difficult and important problem of specifying
interface boundaries by invoking methods used in the alpha shape representation
of molecules, the discrete flow on Delaunay simplices to define pockets and reconstruct
surfaces, and the assessment of the importance of topological features. We present
an algorithm to construct the surface and define a hierarchy that distinguishes
core and peripheral regions. This hierarchy is shown to have correlation with
hot-spots in protein-protein interactions. Finally, we study the geometric and
topological properties of interface surfaces and show their high degree of contortion.
