Postsynaptic scaffold proteins at non-synaptic sites. The role of postsynaptic scaffold proteins in motor-protein-receptor complexes.
Synapse-associated proteins that are located at the postsynaptic density (PSD) have recently been shown to have a structural role at non-synaptic locations. Here, they act as adaptor proteins between neurotransmitter receptors and the microtubule- or microfilament-based motor-protein complexes that are responsible for transport to the PSD. The use of a common set of proteins that contain multip...
متن کاملScaffold proteins at the postsynaptic density.
Scaffold proteins are abundant and essential components of the postsynaptic density (PSD). They play a major role in many synaptic functions including the trafficking, anchoring, and clustering of glutamate receptors and adhesion molecules. Moreover, they link postsynaptic receptors with their downstream signaling proteins and regulate the dynamics of cytoskeletal structures. By definition, PSD...

expression of homologous truncated TrkA had no effect on the pattern of receptor clusters. Furthermore, in mutant trkB ϩ/Ϫ mice in which the level of TrkB expression The classical view of neurotrophins as target-derived is reduced, small punctate AChR regions are also ob-survival factors in the developing nervous system has served. The morphological similarity of receptor clusters changed drama...
متن کاملNeuroligin 1 is dynamically exchanged at postsynaptic sites.
Neuroligins are postsynaptic cell adhesion molecules that associate with presynaptic neurexins. Both factors form a transsynaptic connection, mediate signaling across the synapse, specify synaptic functions, and play a role in synapse formation. Neuroligin dysfunction impairs synaptic transmission, disrupts neuronal networks, and is thought to participate in cognitive diseases. Here we report t...
