Novel extracellular matrix architecture on excitatory neurons revealed by HaloTag-HAPLN1

Igal Sterin, Ava Niazi, Jennifer S. Kim, Joosang Park, Sungjin Park

This study reveals novel extracellular matrix (ECM) structures around excitatory neurons using HaloTag-HAPLN1, showing spatial and temporal regulation of ECM deposition and heterogeneity among neuronal populations.

Microvilli regulate the release modes of alpha-tectorin to organize the domain-specific matrix architecture of the tectorial membrane.

Ava Niazi, Ju Ang Kim, Dong-Kyu Kim, Di Lu, Igal Sterin, Joosang Park, Sungjin Park

The paper identifies two distinct release modes of alpha-tectorin (TECTA) mediated by microvilli and proteolytic shedding, which determine domain-specific matrix organization in the tectorial membrane.
