Drosophila dscam proteins regulate postsynaptic specificity at multiple-contact synapses.

Neuron - 9 Sept 2010

Millard S Sean, Lu Zhiyuan, Zipursky S Lawrence, Meinertzhagen Ian A

Abstract excerpt

In both vertebrate and invertebrate visual systems, neurons form multiple-contact synapses at which a single presynaptic site releases neurotransmitter upon a discrete combination of different postsynaptic cells. Recognition mechanisms underlying the assembly of such synapses are not known. In Drosophila, photoreceptor terminals form tetrad synapses that incorporate an invariable pair of postsynaptic elements,...
