Cell adhesion to agrin presented as a nanopatterned substrate is consistent with an interaction with the extracellular matrix and not transmembrane adhesion molecules (2008)

Wolfram, Tobias, Spatz, Joachim P, Burgess, Robert W

Abstract Background Molecular spacing is important for cell adhesion in a number of ways, ranging from the ordered arrangement of matrix polymers extracellularly, to steric hindrance of...

Evidence for a Conserved Function in Synapse Formation Reveals Phr1 as a Candidate Gene for Respiratory Failure in Newborn Mice (2003)

Robert W. Burgess, Kevin A. Peterson, Michael J. Johnson, Jeffrey J. Roix, Ian C. Welsh, Timothy P. O’brien

Genetic studies using a set of overlapping deletions centered at the piebald locus on distal mouse chromosome 14 have defined a genomic region associated with respiratory distress and lethality at...

Members of the synaptobrevin/vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) family in Drosophila are functionally interchangeable in vivo for neurotransmitter release and cell viability

Bhattacharya, Sharmila, Stewart, Bryan A., Niemeyer, Barbara A., Burgess, Robert W., McCabe, Brian D., Lin, Peter, ...

Synaptobrevins or VAMPs are vesicle-associated membrane proteins, often called v-SNARES, that are important for vesicle transport and fusion at the plasma membrane. Drosophila has two characterized...

Disruption of Glomerular Basement Membrane Charge through Podocyte-Specific Mutation of Agrin Does Not Alter Glomerular Permselectivity

Harvey, Scott J., Jarad, George, Cunningham, Jeanette, Rops, Angelique L., Van Der Vlag, Johan, Berden, Jo H., ...

Glomerular charge selectivity has been attributed to anionic heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Agrin is the predominant GBM-HSPG, but evidence that it...

A Genetic analysis of vesicle trafficking in Drosophila /

The Synaptic Protein Syntaxin1 Is Required for Cellularization of Drosophila Embryos

Burgess, Robert W., Deitcher, David L., Schwarz, Thomas L.

Syntaxins are membrane proteins involved in vesicle trafficking and are required for the release of neurotransmitter at nerve terminals. The presence of syntaxins on target membranes has been...

Agrin Isoforms with Distinct Amino Termini: Differential Expression, Localization, and Function

Burgess, Robert W., Skarnes, William C., Sanes, Joshua R.

The proteoglycan agrin is required for postsynaptic differentiation at the skeletal neuromuscular junction, but is also associated with basal laminae in numerous other tissues, and with the surfaces...

Chloroquine or pyrimethamine in salt as a suppressive against sporozoite-induced vivax malaria (Chesson strain)*

Coatney, G. Robert, Mickelsen, Olaf, Burgess, Robert W., Young, Martin D., Pirkle, Carl I.

The authors present the results of a study carried out to determine the efficacy of chloroquine- and pyrimethamine-salt mixtures as a suppressive against sporozoite-induced vivax malaria (Chesson...

Pyrimethamine resistance in Plasmodium vivax malaria

Young, Martin D., Burgess, Robert W.

P. vivax infection (Korean, St Elizabeth or Chesson strain) was induced in 17 neurosyphilitic patients. Pyrimethamine in single doses of either 25, 50, 100 or 200 mg was given to test the...

The development of pyrimethamine resistance by Plasmodium falciparum

Burgess, Robert W., Young, Martin D.

Sixteen patent P. falciparum infections (McLendon and Panama strains) in non-immunes were treated with single doses of pyrimethamine. The schizontocidal and sporontocidal response to the initial dose...

The effect of a single dose of primaquine on the gametocytes, gametogony and sporogony of Laverania falciparum*

Burgess, Robert W., Bray, R. S.

A number of studies have been carried out on the effect of several of the 8-aminoquinolines on gametogony and sporogony of Laverania falciparum, but only very limited work has so far been done on the...

An ENU-induced mutation in mouse glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GARS) causes peripheral sensory and motor phenotypes creating a model of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2D peripheral neuropathy

Achilli, Francesca, Bros-Facer, Virginie, Williams, Hazel P., Banks, Gareth T., AlQatari, Mona, Chia, Ruth, ...

Mutations in the enzyme glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GARS) cause motor and sensory axon loss in the peripheral nervous system in humans, described clinically as Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2D or distal...
