Abstract excerpt
Synapses are asymmetric structures that are specialized for neuronal signal transduction. A unique set of proteins is present at the presynaptic active zone, which is a core structure essential for neurotransmitter release. In Caenorhabditis elegans HSN neurons, SYD-2, a Liprin-α family protein, acts together with a GAP protein SYD-1 to promote presynaptic assembly. Previous studies have shown that elevating the...
