A neurotrophin functioning with a Toll regulates structural plasticity in a dopaminergic circuit

Jun Sun, Francisca Rojo-Cortés, Suzana Ulian-Benitez…·Alicia Hidalgo

This study shows that DNT-2 and its receptors Toll-6 and Kek-6 regulate structural plasticity in dopaminergic circuits in Drosophila, affecting behavior and connectivity.

Kek-6: A Truncated Trk-Like Receptor For Drosophila Neurotrophin 2 Regulates Structural Synaptic Plasticity

Suzana Ulian-Benitez, Simon Bishop, István Földi…·Alicia Hidalgo

This study identifies Kek-6, a truncated Trk-like receptor in Drosophila, as a functional receptor for DNT2 that regulates synaptic structural plasticity through CaMKII and VAP33A, suggesting evolutionary conservation of this mechanism.
