1. intellect Bomb 1 and Neuronal MorphogenesisEun-Ah Choe, Lujian Liao, Jian-Ying Zhou, Dongmei Cheng, Duc M. Duong, Peng Jin, Li-Huei Tsai, and Junmin PengIn that week’s Journal, Choe et al. used proteomics to identify molecular regulators of

neuronal morphogenesis. They detected a ubiquitin ligase intellect bomb 1 (Mib1) in the postsynaptic density. Over-expression of Mib1 inhibited neurite outgrowth in cultured neurons. [click link for full article]
