Receptor endocytosis: Frizzled joins the ubiquitin club.
Wnt/b-catenin signalling is initiated by binding of secreted Wnt ligands to Frizzled and LRP5/6/Arrow co-receptors. A new study in this issue of The EMBO Journal provides compelling evidence that the level of cell surface Frizzled is controlled by a cycle of mono-ubiquitylation–deubiquitylation, the latter being mediated by the deubiquitylating enzyme UBPY/USP8. The amount of Frizzled on the pl...
متن کاملNeurexin-neuroligin signaling in synapse development.
Neurexins and neuroligins are emerging as central organizing molecules for excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic synapses in mammalian brain. They function as cell adhesion molecules, bridging the synaptic cleft. Remarkably, each partner can trigger formation of a hemisynapse: neuroligins trigger presynaptic differentiation and neurexins trigger postsynaptic differentiation. Recent ...
متن کاملPostsynaptic assembly induced by neurexin-neuroligin interaction and neurotransmitter.
Presynaptic and postsynaptic differentiation occurs at axodendritic contacts between CNS neurons. Synaptic adhesion mediated by synaptic cell adhesion molecule (SynCAM) and beta-neurexins/neuroligins triggers presynaptic differentiation. The signals that trigger postsynaptic differentiation are, however, unknown. Here we report that beta-neurexin expressed in nonneuronal cells induced postsynap...
متن کاملNeuroligin-1 performs neurexin-dependent and neurexin-independent functions in synapse validation.
Postsynaptic neuroligins are thought to perform essential functions in synapse validation and synaptic transmission by binding to, and dimerizing, presynaptic alpha- and beta-neurexins. To test this hypothesis, we examined the functional effects of neuroligin-1 mutations that impair only alpha-neurexin binding, block both alpha- and beta-neurexin binding, or abolish neuroligin-1 dimerization. A...
متن کاملTo build a synapse: signaling pathways in neuromuscular junction assembly.
Synapses, as fundamental units of the neural circuitry, enable complex behaviors. The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse type that forms between motoneurons and skeletal muscle fibers and that exhibits a high degree of subcellular specialization. Aided by genetic techniques and suitable animal models, studies in the past decade have brought significant progress in identifying NMJ compone...
