Neurexin-neuroligin signaling in synapse development

TL;DR: Initial knockdown and knockout studies indicate that neurexins and neuroligins have an essential role in synaptic transmission, particularly at GABAergic synapses, but further studies are needed to assess the in vivo functions of these complex protein families.
Journal ArticleDOI

LRRTMs and Neuroligins Bind Neurexins with a Differential Code to Cooperate in Glutamate Synapse Development

TL;DR: It is proposed that neurexins are master regulators of the cooperative activities of LRRTMs and neuroligins in synapse regulation, and in neuron cultures, LRRTM2 is more potent than neuroligin-1 in promoting synaptic differentiation, and these two families of neurxin-binding partners cooperate in an additive or synergistic manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure Function and Splice Site Analysis of the Synaptogenic Activity of the Neurexin-1β LNS Domain

TL;DR: Differential neurexin-neuroligin binding affinities and splice variations may play an instructive role in postsynaptic differentiation, and mutation of two predicted Ca2+-binding residues disrupts post synaptogenic protein clustering and binding to neuroligins, consistent with previous findings that neureXin-NEurolig in binding is Ca2- dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fragile X mental retardation protein modulates the stability of its m6A-marked messenger RNA targets.

TL;DR: Biochemical analyses indicate that FMRP regulates the stability of its m6A‐marked mRNA targets through YTHDF2, which could potentially contribute to the molecular pathogenesis of FXS, and transcriptome‐wide gene expression profiling suggests that M6A is a widespread epitranscriptomic modification in brain.
