Gephyrin-Lacking PV Synapses on Neocortical Pyramidal Neurons [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Gephyrin has long been thought of as a master regulator for inhibitory synapses, acting as a scaffold to organize γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) at the post-synaptic density.

Structural basis of dynamic glycine receptor clustering by gephyrin [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO Journal, 2004
Gephyrin is a bi-functional modular protein involved in molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis and in postsynaptic clustering of inhibitory glycine receptors (GlyRs).

Abnormal gephyrin immunoreactivity associated with Alzheimer disease pathologic changes. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 2013
Many neurodegenerative disorders involve the abnormal accumulation of proteins. In addition to the pathologic hallmarks of neurofibrillary tangles and β-amyloid plaques in Alzheimer disease (AD), here we show that abnormal accumulations of gephyrin, an ...

Functional Heterogeneity of Gephyrins

Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2000
Postsynaptic clustering of the glycine receptor requires the cytoplasmic protein gephyrin, which interacts with the receptor beta subunit. Several variants of gephyrin are generated by alternative splicing and differ by the presence of short amino acid sequences (cassettes) in the N-terminal half of the molecule.

Binding of gephyrin to microtubules is regulated by its phosphorylation at Ser270 [PDF]

open access: yesHistochemistry and Cell Biology, 2021
AbstractGephyrin is a multifunctional scaffolding protein anchoring glycine- and subtypes of GABA type A- receptors at inhibitory postsynaptic membrane specializations by binding to the microtubule (MT) and/or the actin cytoskeleton. However, the conditions under which gephyrin can bind to MTs and its regulation are currently unknown.

Interactions of Drebrin and Gephyrin with Profilin

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1998
Profilin is an actin monomer-binding protein which stimulates actin polymerization. Recent studies have revealed that profilin interacts with VASP, Mena, Bnilp, Bnrlp, and mDia, all of which have the proline-rich domain. Here, we isolated three profilin-binding proteins from rat brain cytosol by glutathione S-transferase-profilin affinity column ...

Gephyrin expression and clustering affects the size of glutamatergic synaptic contacts.

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, 2008
We have recently shown that disrupting the expression and post-synaptic clustering of gephyrin in cultured hippocampal pyramidal cells, by either gephyrin RNAi (RNA interference) or over-expression of a dominant negative gephyrin-enhanced green ...

Regulation of postsynaptic gephyrin cluster size by protein phosphatase 1

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Neurosciences, 2010
The scaffolding protein gephyrin is essential for the clustering of glycine and GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs) at inhibitory synapses. Here, we provide evidence that the size of the postsynaptic gephyrin scaffold is controlled by dephosphorylation ...

Gephyrin

1999
Abstract Gephyrin was originally identified as a peripheral membrane protein of 93 kDa, which copurifies with the -mammalian inhibitory glycine receptor upon affinity chromatography.8-10 lmmunoelectron microscopy locates gephyrin to the cytoplasmic face of glycinergic postsynaptic membranes in spinal cord, brain, and retina.
