SynGAP forms biocondensates at sub-micromolar concentrations and recruits PSD95 and receptor oligomers, functioning as a key initiator of PSD formation

Saahil Acharya, Taka A. Tsunoyama, Christian Hoffmann…·Akihiro Kusumi

This study shows SynGAP forms condensates at low concentrations and recruits PSD95 and receptor oligomers, suggesting it initiates PSD formation.

Sonicated fibrils of huntingtin exon-1 preferentially seed neurons and produce toxic assemblies

Anjalika Chongtham, Jose Mario Isas, NITIN KUMAR PANDEY…·Ali Khoshnan

This study shows sonicated HTTex1 fibrils selectively seed neurons, leading to toxic assemblies and neuronal damage.

A sex difference in the composition of the rodent postsynaptic density

Tara L Mastro, Anthony R. Preza, Shinjini Basu…·Mary B. Kennedy

The paper shows that synGAP heterozygosity leads to increased TARP levels in the PSD of female rodents but not males, indicating a sex difference in PSD adaptation.
