Cytoskeletal organization at the postsynaptic complex
Postsynaptic densities and the adjacent cytoskeleton were examined in deep-etched, unfixed slices of guinea pig anteroventral cochlear nucleus. The postsynaptic density seen in conventional thin sections corresponds to a meshwork of 4-nm filaments associated with intramembrane particles at the postsynaptic active zone of inhibitory as well as excitatory synapses. These filaments intermesh with ...
متن کاملThe novel synaptogenic protein Farp1 links postsynaptic cytoskeletal dynamics and transsynaptic organization
Synaptic adhesion organizes synapses, yet the signaling pathways that drive and integrate synapse development remain incompletely understood. We screened for regulators of these processes by proteomically analyzing synaptic membranes lacking the synaptogenic adhesion molecule SynCAM 1. This identified FERM, Rho/ArhGEF, and Pleckstrin domain protein 1 (Farp1) as strongly reduced in SynCAM 1 knoc...

متن کاملThe postsynaptic organization of synapses.
The postsynaptic side of the synapse is specialized to receive the neurotransmitter signal released from the presynaptic terminal and transduce it into electrical and biochemical changes in the postsynaptic cell. The cardinal functional components of the postsynaptic specialization of excitatory and inhibitory synapses are the ionotropic receptors (ligand-gated channels) for glutamate and γ-ami...
متن کاملMolecular organization of the postsynaptic specialization.
A specific set of molecules including glutamate receptors is targeted to the postsynaptic specialization of excitatory synapses in the brain, gathering in a structure known as the postsynaptic density (PSD). Synaptic targeting of glutamate receptors depends on interactions between the C-terminal tails of receptor subunits and specific PDZ domain-containing scaffold proteins in the PSD. These sc...
