An extracellular complex between CLE-1/collagen XV/XVIII and Punctin/MADD-4 defines cholinergic synapse identity

Mélissa Cizeron, Anaïs Dumas, Suzanne Le Reun, Laure Granger, Maëlle Jospin, Océane Romatif, Camille Vachon, Delphine Le Guern, Aurore-Cécile Valfort, Jean‐Louis Bessereau

The paper identifies an extracellular complex between CLE-1 and Punctin that stabilizes synaptic identity by maintaining cholinergic receptor localization.

The HSPG Syndecan is a core organizer of cholinergic synapses in C. elegans

Xin Zhou, Camille Vachon, Mélissa Cizeron, Océane Romatif, Hannes E. Bülow, Maëlle Jospin, Jean‐Louis Bessereau

This study identifies SDN-1 as a critical organizer of cholinergic synapses in C. elegans by clustering AChRs and interacting with synaptic components.
