The paper uses AlphaFold to model AnkB interactions with NrCAM and β2-Spectrin, identifies critical residues, and shows how ASD mutations disrupt these interactions and neuronal function.

The paper investigates the role of NrCAM and Ankyrin B in establishing synaptic contacts between CCK basket interneurons and pyramidal neurons in the mouse medial prefrontal cortex.

This study identifies AnkB's role in dendritic spine regulation in the mouse prefrontal cortex and links it to potential molecular mechanisms in ASD.

This study identifies L1 cell adhesion molecule's role in regulating dendritic spine density via Ankyrin binding in mouse pyramidal neurons, showing increased spine density in L1 mutants and impaired spine pruning in response to Semaphorins.

This study shows that DCLK1 promotes dendritic spine growth and maturation in mouse prefrontal cortex pyramidal neurons through interactions with NrCAM and microtubules.

This study identifies Sema3F's role in dendritic spine pruning through Rho-GTPase signaling pathways in cortical neurons.
