The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded Brandeis University a $846,469 Project Grant (CFDA 93.853 - Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders) to elucidate how the ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport) machinery is regulated and deployed in neurons. The research aims to develop new visualization and manipulation tools to study ESCRT dynamics in Drosophila neurons, including: 1) investigating the dynamics of synaptic ESCRT machinery at endosomes and how neuronal activity influences ESCRT dynamics, and 2) devising new tools for temporal and spatial control of ESCRT to test the kinetics and spatial organization of multivesicular endosome biogenesis and extracellular vesicle release. This work seeks to provide mechanistic insights into synapse-specific regulation of ESCRT machinery and its role in synaptic function and disease, with broadly applicable tools for studying ESCRT-related processes across experimental systems.
