The C-terminal domain of NLG1 is sufficient to enhance spine and synapse number and to modulate synaptic plasticity, and it exerts these effects via its interaction with SPAR and the subsequent activation of LIMK1/cofilin-mediated actin reorganization.
Highlights d Activity blockade by TTX induces rapid and transient release of NGPF2 d NGPF2 is necessary and sufficient for synaptic scaling up d NGPF2 triggers synaptic scaling up through ALK-LIMKcofilin pathway d NGPF2 synthesis requires FMRP1
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
