Target recognition at the tips of postsynaptic filopodia: accumulation and function of Capricious.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Apr 2009

Kohsaka Hiroshi, Nose Akinao

Abstract excerpt

While much evidence suggests that postsynaptic dynamism contributes to the formation of synapses, few studies have addressed its possible role in target selection. Do postsynaptic motile structures seek specific synaptic partner cells, as does the presynaptic growth cone? Here we studied the dynamics of myopodia, postsynaptic filopodia in Drosophila muscles, and the role of Capricious (CAPS) during the process of...
