At the synapse, presynaptic neurotransmitter release is tightly controlled by release machinery, involving the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins and Munc13. The Ca2+ sensor Doc2 cooperates with Munc13 to regulate neurotransmitter release, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In our study, we have characterized the binding mode between Doc2 and Munc13 and found that Doc2 originally occludes Munc13 to inhibit SNARE complex assembly. Moreover, our investigation unveiled that EphB2, a presynaptic adhesion molecule (SAM) with inherent tyrosine kinase functionality, exhibits the capacity to phosphorylate Doc2. This phosphorylation attenuates Doc2 block on Munc13 to promote SNARE complex assembly, which functionally induces spontaneous release and synaptic augmentation. Consistently, application of a Doc2 peptide that interrupts Doc2-Munc13 interplay impairs excitatory synaptic transmission and leads to dysfunction in spatial learning and memory. These data provide evidence that SAMs modulate neurotransmitter release by controlling SNARE complex assembly.

Addgene (tool)

RRID:SCR_002037

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.

PRISM (tool)

RRID:SCR_005375

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 5,2022.Tool that predicts interactions between transcription factors and their regulated genes from binding motifs. Understanding vertebrate development requires unraveling the cis-regulatory architecture of gene regulation. PRISM provides accurate genome-wide computational predictions of transcription factor binding sites for the human and mouse genomes, and integrates the predictions with GREAT to provide functional biological context. Together, accurate computational binding site prediction and GREAT produce for each transcription factor: 1. putative binding sites, 2. putative target genes, 3. putative biological roles of the transcription factor, and 4. putative cis-regulatory elements through which the factor regulates each target in each functional role.
