Interneuron FGF13 regulates seizure susceptibility via a sodium channel-independent mechanism by Susan Lin, Aravind R Gade, Hong-Gang Wang, James E Niemeyer, Allison Galante, Isabella DiStefano, Patrick Towers, Jorge Nunez, Maiko Matsui, Theodore H Schwartz, Anjali Rajadhyaksha, Geoffrey S Pitt

“…Interneuron-targeted deletion of Fgf13 led to perinatal mortality associated with extensive seizures and impaired the hippocampal inhibitory/excitatory balance while excitatory neuron-targeted deletion of Fgf13 caused no detectable seizures and no survival deficits. While best studied as a voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav) regulator, we observed no effect of Fgf13 ablation in interneurons on Navs but rather a marked reduction in K+ channel currents. …”

TaSnRK3.23B, a CBL-interacting protein kinase of wheat, confers drought stress tolerance by promoting ROS scavenging in Arabidopsis by Feiyan Dong, Yide Liu, Huadong Zhang, Yaqian Li, Jinghan Song, Sheng Chen, Shuailei Wang, Zhanwang Zhu, Yan Li, Yike Liu

“…Results In the current work, TaSnRK3.23B was detected on the cell membrane and in the nucleus. TaSnRK3.23B overexpression in Arabidopsis promoted reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging via the accumulation of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) and then conferred significant tolerance to drought. …”
