Protein-lipid interactions drive presynaptic assembly upstream of cell adhesion molecules

Elisa B. Frankel, Araven Tiroumalechetty, Parise S. Henry, Zhaoqian Su, Yinghao Wu, Peri T. Kurshan

The paper identifies a presynaptic assembly mechanism driven by SYD-1-lipid interactions before neurexin recruitment, showing PIP2-binding residues are critical for active zone formation.
