Annotation description:Fig.5: "Nrx3-C1ql2/3 Signaling Recruits KARs in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons"
- "To define the roles for Nrx3-C1ql2/3 interactions in organizing KAR-containing synapses, we expressed Nrx3β+SS525b together with C1ql2 and C1ql3 (C1ql2+3) on the surface of HEK293 cells and cocultured them with C1ql2/3 null hippocampal neurons. We found that endogenous GluK2/3, as well as neuroligin 1 (NL1, a receptor that binds to all Nrx isoforms) and PSD95, accumulated in hippocampal neurons contacting HEK293 cells (Figure 5A). However, when Nrx3β+SS525b was expressed without C1ql2+3, NL1 and PSD95, but not GluK2/3, formed clusters in C1ql2/3 null hippocampal neurons (Figure 5A). "

Note: the role of C1ql2/3 is further detailed in other figures of the paper.
