| Annotation description: | Figure 2b: immunofluorescence confocal imaging of overexpressed HA-tagged optoFGFR1 (photoactivatable version of FGFR1) in mouse hippocampal neurons showed localization to dendritic shafts and dendritic spines. Figure 2c: comparing between hippocampal cultures from wildtype and neuroligin-1 (NLGN1) mice, optogenetic stimulation of optoFGFR1 increases dendritic spine density in a Nlgn1-dependent manner. Figure 3, 4: Light activation of optoFGFR1 in CA1 neurons selectively increases AMPA receptor-mediated EPSCs in a Nlgn1-dependent manner. The light-induced increase in AMPA receptor-mediated EPSCs is specific to Y782 phosphorylation in Nlgn1. authors conclude: "Combined with computer simulations, our data support a model by which Nlgn1 tyrosine phosphorylation promotes the assembly of an excitatory post-synaptic scaffold that captures surface AMPA receptors. This optogenetic strategy highlights the impact of Nlgn1 intracellular signaling in synaptic differentiation and potentiation, while enabling an acute control of these mechanisms." |
