Tweek-dependent formation of ER-PM contact sites enables astrocyte phagocytic function and remodeling of neurons
2023-11-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Neuronal remodeling generates an enormous amount of cellular debris, which is cleared from the nervous system by glia. At the larva-to-adult transition, Drosophila astrocytes transform into phagocytes and engulf degenerating larval synapses, axonal and dendritic debris. Here we show Tweek, a member of the bridge-like lipid transfer protein family, is upregulated in astrocytes as they ramp up the...
