The engulfment receptor Draper organizes the postsynaptic spectrin cytoskeleton into corrals containing synaptic proteins and promotes synaptic renewal

Simon Ji Hau Wang, Mannan Wang, Hae-yoon Kim, Nicole Yoo, Matias Petteri Raski, Claire R. Y. Shih, Clare Zheng, Kevin Tran, W. S. Parkhouse, Charles Krieger, Nicholas Harden

This study shows that Draper organizes the spectrin cytoskeleton into corrals that contain synaptic proteins and promotes synaptic renewal by trapping nascent boutons.
