- The whole story in this paper is on a role of PTPRS in synapse formation and presynaptic differentiation. The effect on LTP is treated as a somewhat separate issue by the authors. I aprove of a separate anntotation to term 'modulation of chemical synaptic transmission (GO:0050804)' for this reason: "In contrast, we found that RPTPσ null mice perform better than wild-type littermates in a novel object recognition test. Interestingly, RPTPδ knockout mice also exhibit a reciprocal disconnection between learning and synaptic plasticity: while Schaffer collateral-CA1 LTP was enhanced in RPTPδ null mice, they have deficits in spatial learning and memory tasks (Uetani et al. 2000). These findings reveal that both RPTPσ and RPTPδ contribute to synaptic plasticity and learning and memory, and provide examples in which the ability to induce LTP is not positively correlated with learning and memory capacity. Importantly, this difference between RPTPσ and RPTPδ reveals a previously unappreciated level of functional diversity between members of the type IIa LAR subfamily of tyrosine phosphatases at synapses."
