Selective binding between pre- and postsynaptic adhesion molecules can induce synaptic differentiation. Here we report the crystal structure of a synaptogenic trans-synaptic adhesion complex between Slit and Trk-like family member 2 (Slitrk2) and receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP) δ. The structure and site-directed mutational analysis revealed the structural basis of splicing-dependent adhesion between Slitrks and type IIa RPTPs for inducing synaptic differentiation.
突触前和突触后黏附分子之间的选择性结合可诱导突触分化。在此,我们报告了Slit与类Trk家族成员2(Slitrk2)和受体蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶(RPTP)δ之间的一种促突触形成的跨突触黏附复合物的晶体结构。该结构及定点突变分析揭示了Slitrks与IIa型RPTPs之间剪接依赖性黏附以诱导突触分化的结构基础。
