Neuropsin cleaves EphB2 in the amygdala to control anxiety

TL;DR: It is shown in mice that the serine protease neuropsin is critical for stress-related plasticity in the amygdala by regulating the dynamics of the EphB2–NMDA-receptor interaction, the expression of Fkbp5 and anxiety-like behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI

NMDA-Dependent Proteolysis of Presynaptic Adhesion Molecule L1 in the Hippocampus by Neuropsin

TL;DR: It is shown that a serine protease, neuropsin, directly and specifically modifies the synaptic adhesion molecule L1, which was localized to the presynaptic site of the asymmetric synapse in the mouse hippocampus, which is involved in NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of Recombinant and Brain Neuropsin, a Plasticity-related Serine Protease

TL;DR: Results indicate that this protease, which is enzymatically novel, has significant limbic effects by changing the extracellular matrix environment by cleaving Arg-X and Lys-X bonds in the synthetic chromogenic substrates.
