Dimerization of postsynaptic neuroligin drives synaptic assembly via transsynaptic clustering of neurexin.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 20 Nov 2012

Shipman Seth L, Nicoll Roger A

Abstract excerpt

The transsynaptic complex of neuroligin (NLGN) and neurexin forms a physical connection between pre- and postsynaptic neurons that occurs early in the course of new synapse assembly. Both neuroligin and neurexin have, indeed, been proposed to exhibit active, instructive roles in the formation of...
