Structure of the teneurin-latrophilin complex: Alternative splicing controls synapse specificity by a novel mechanism

Abstract: The trans-synaptic interaction of the cell-adhesion molecules teneurins (Tenm's) with latrophilins (Lphn's) promotes excitatory synapse formation when Lphn's simultaneously interact with FLRTs. Insertion of a short alternatively-spliced region within Tenm's abolishes the Tenm-Lphn interaction and switches Tenm function to specify inhibitory synapses. How Tenm's bind to Lphn's in a manner regulated by alternative splicing remains unclear. Here, we report the high-resolution cryo-EM structure of the Tenm2-Lphn3 … Show more

“…Type II cadherins exhibit binding through their N-terminal cadherin domain (Brasch et al, 2018). FLRT3, latrophilin 3, and teneurin 2 form a ternary complex (Li et al, 2020; also see Del Toro et al, 2020). E. Expression of cell surface proteins in developing synaptic partners.…”

“…Cis receptors signal within the same cell on which the receptor resides. Adhesion GPCRs also have additional GPCRindependent trans-cellular "trans" functions mediated by interactions with adhesion receptors on other cells, such as integrins or teneurins (Dunn et al, 2019;Sando et al, 2019;Li et al, 2020;Sreepada et al, 2022). Trans receptors signal by binding receptors on other cells.…”
