Nature 1998, 396:433-439. These investigators demonstrate that transgenic mice expressing a mutated PSD-95 have dramatically altered spatial learning and synaptic plasticity, although synaptic structure and NMDA receptor localization appear normal. These observations suggest that the primary role of PSD-95 in vivo may be to connect the NMDA receptor to downstream signaling mechanisms and not, as predicted from heterologous cell assays, the localization or organization of these receptors at synapses.

These findings establish another potential mechanism by which transmembrane receptors may be clustered at synapses.

Proc Nat Acad Sci USA 1999, 96:435-440. The authors follow up the observation that activated kinases of the Src family can modulate NMDA receptor activity by demonstrating that PSD-95 can bind directly to the Fyn tyrosine kinase, suggesting that PSD-95 forms a scaffold in vivo that recruits Fyn to the NMDA receptor and regulates synaptic transmission.

J Biol Chem 1999, 274:532-536. The authors provide further evidence for the model that MAGUK proteins form an interconnected scaffold at the plasma membrane. The authors demonstrate that PSD-95 and other MAGUKS can form homomultimers and heteromultimers via cysteine bonds and that multimerization is required for PSD-95 to bind to two different receptors. These observations suggest a model whereby transmembrane ion channels and receptors might be clustered by multimerization of underlying scaffolding proteins.

Neuron 1998, 20:693-707. This paper provides the first evidence for a link between the microtubule cytoskeleton and a MAGUK protein. The third PDZ domain of PSD-95 binds to the carboxyl terminus of CRIPT, a microtubule binding protein that colocalizes with PSD-95 in synapses and can recruit PSD-95 to cellular microtubules in a heterologous cell assay.

One of several recent papers of note describing novel synaptic PDZ proteins that have receptor specificities distinct from those of the MAGUKs. PICK1 is a protein with a single PDZ domain that can bind to the carboxyl terminus of AMPA receptors. It colocalizes with these receptors at excitatory synapses and can cluster them in a heterologous cell assay. PICK1 also binds to protein kinase C and the Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases. These results and the identification of other novel scaffolding proteins like Homer and GRIP suggest a second scaffold involved in organizing synaptic proteins. How these proteins interact with other scaffolding proteins, like the MAGUKs, is unclear at present.

Neuron 1998, 21:1453-1463. The authors demonstrate an interaction between synaptic PDZ proteins and several members of the Eph family of tyrosine kinases or their transmembrane ligands. These receptors are critical for axonal guidance in the developing nervous system. The PDZ proteins colocalize with Eph receptors at synapses, and cluster receptors in a heterologous cell assay, suggesting that PDZ proteins organize Eph receptors and their ligands at synapses in vivo.

The C. elegans proteins LIN-2, LIN-7, and LIN-10 are each required for the basolateral localization of let23, a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in vulval epithelial cell differentiation. This study uses in vitro and in vivo binding assays to show that these three proteins form a complex, and that complex formation is required for the basolateral localization of let23.

A companion paper to Kaech et al. [64•]. These authors characterize a protein complex in neurons composed of CASK, Mint1, and Veli1, which are the vertebrate homologs of LIN-2, LIN-10, and LIN-7, respectively. Notably, Mint1 had already been characterized as a binding partner of Munc18-1, a protein implicated in synaptic vesicle exocytosis. This raises the possibility that the complex conserved in both C. elegans and vertebrates might regulate targeting of proteins to specific membrane domains.

These investigators demonstrate that agonist-mediated association of the β2-adrenergic receptor with the first PDZ domain in NHERF leads to an inhibition of a second ion channel, NHE-3, also associated with NHERF. The suggestion is that scaffolding proteins like NHERF coordinate the activities of associated transmembrane receptors and ion channels.

J Cell Biol 1998, 142:545-555. Xu et al. demonstrate that the INAD protein, which contains 5 PDZ domains, can form homo- and heteromultimers via interactions mediated by PDZ domains. They propose the 'signalplex model', to describe how INAD may self-associate to form a signaling network at the plasma membrane that incorporates most, if not all, of the signaling molecules involved in phototransduction.

Nature Neurosci 1999, 2:447-453. The carboxy-terminal tail of the unconventional myosin NINAC binds to the first PDZ domain in INAD. This interaction is essential for the deactivation of phototransduction but is not required for localization of NINAC to the rhabdomere. As such, it is strong evidence that complexes assembled by INAD function directly in the activation/deactivation of phototransduction and not only in the localization of signaling molecules to the rhabdomere.
