Structural basis of SALM5-induced PTPδ dimerization for synaptic differentiation

Synaptic adhesion molecules mediate synaptic differentiation and formation. Here the authors present the structures of the synaptic adhesion molecule SALM5 alone and in complex with the LAR family receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase (LAR-RPTP) PTPδ, which reveals how SALM5 dimerization facilitates...

Description
Summary:Synaptic adhesion molecules mediate synaptic differentiation and formation. Here the authors present the structures of the synaptic adhesion molecule SALM5 alone and in complex with the LAR family receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase (LAR-RPTP) PTPδ, which reveals how SALM5 dimerization facilitates higher-order signaling assembly of LAR-RPTPs.
