Lili Chen,Yuting Liu,Pan Su,W. Huang,Haiwen Li,Ya Wang,Zhongpu Yue,Ming-Hai Ge,Zheng-Xing Wu,Yan Zhang,Pengge Fei,Liming Chen,Louis Tao,Heng Mao,Mei Zhen,Shangbang Gao +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a neuropeptide NLP-18 and its cholecystokinin receptor CKR-1 enable the escape circuit to execute a full omega (Ω) turn.

UNC-43/CaMKII-triggered anterograde signals recruit GABAARs to mediate inhibitory synaptic transmission and plasticity at C. elegans NMJs
Yue Hao,Haowen N. Liu,Xian-Ting Zeng,Ya Wang,Wan-Xin Zeng,K. Y. Qian,Lei Li,Ming-Xuan Chi,Shangbang Gao,Zhitao Hu,Xia-Jing Tong +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that NC-43/CaMKII functions at GABAergic neurons to recruit GABAARs and modulate inhibitory synaptic transmission at C. elegans neuromuscular junctions.
CKR-1 orchestrates two motor states from a single motoneuron in C. elegans
Lili Chen,Pan Su,Ya Wang,Yuting Liu,Li-Ming Chen,Shangbang Gao +5 more
TL;DR: CKR-1, a cholecystokinin receptor homolog, orchestrates two motor states in C. elegans through a single motoneuron, SMD, utilizing neuropeptides NLP-12 and NLP-18 to regulate escape steering and body bending.

Differential Regulation of Excitatory vs Inhibitory Synaptic Release by Complexin/CPX-1 and CAPS/UNC-31 at the C. elegans Neuromuscular Junctions
Ya Wang,C. Chow,Mengjia Huang,Randa Higazy,Neeraja Ramakrishnan,Cuntai Zhang,Shuzo Sugita,Shangbang Gao +7 more
TL;DR: An unforeseen role of UNC-31 is uncovered in influencing CPX-1’s “clamp” function, further adding complexity to the neural dynamics, which may underlie complex behavioral phenotypes observed in C. elegans.
Double mutation of open syntaxin and UNC-18 P334A leads to excitatory-inhibitory imbalance and impairs multiple aspects of C. elegans behavior
Mengjia Huang,Ya Wang,C. Chow,Karolina P. Stepien,Karen Indrawinata,Peter Argiropoulos,Xiaoyu Xie,Kyoko Sugita,Chi-Wei Tien,Soomin Lee,Philippe P. Monnier,Josep Rizo,Shangbang Gao,Shuzo Sugita +13 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that open syntaxin and P334A UNC-18 do not have additive beneficial effects, and this extends to C. elegans’ characteristics such as motility, growth, offspring bared, body size, and exocytosis, as well as liposome fusion in vitro.
