Loss of IQSEC3 Disrupts GABAergic Synapse Maintenance and Decreases Somatostatin Expression in the Hippocampus

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Gephyrin interacts with various GABAergic synaptic proteins to organize GABAergic synapse development. Among the multitude of gephyrin-binding proteins is IQSEC3, a recently identified component at GABAergic synapses that acts through its ADP ...

Endogenous Protein Tagging in Postmitotic Neurons via Lentiviral and Adeno‐associated Virus Delivery

open access: yesCurrent Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract This protocol describes a method for endogenous protein tagging in postmitotic primary neurons using homology‐independent targeted integration (HITI), a CRISPR/Cas9‐based approach that exploits non‐homologous end joining (NHEJ). Unlike homology‐directed repair (HDR), HITI does not require cell division, making it uniquely suited for ...

Gephyrin-binding peptides visualize postsynaptic sites and modulate neurotransmission

open access: yes, 2017
γ-Aminobutyric acid type A and glycine receptors are the major mediators of fast synaptic inhibition in the human central nervous system and are established drug targets.

Mass spectrometric analysis of glycine receptor-associated gephyrin splice variants

open access: yes, 2021
Gephyrin is an ubiquitously expressed protein that, in the nervous system, is essential for synaptic anchoring of glycine receptors (GlyRs) and major GABAA receptor subtypes.

Mutation p.R356Q in the Collybistin Phosphoinositide Binding Site Is Associated With Mild Intellectual Disability

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
The recruitment of inhibitory GABAA receptors to neuronal synapses requires a complex interplay between receptors, neuroligins, the scaffolding protein gephyrin and the GDP-GTP exchange factor collybistin (CB). Collybistin is regulated by protein-protein

Frozen in Place: Proximity Labeling Maps Glial Interactomes Across Cell States

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 10, October 2026.
Proximity labeling enables cell‐type‐specific and spatially resolved mapping of glial protein networks. Proximity labeling approaches provide insights into glial function under physiological and pathological conditions. ABSTRACT Glial cells, including radial glia, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and microglia, are ...

Several posttranslational modifications act in concert to regulate gephyrin scaffolding and GABAergic transmission

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Gephyrin is a cytoplasmic scaffolding protein that selectively forms postsynaptic scaffolds at GABAergic and glycinergic synapses. Here the authors characterize regulatory mechanisms determining gephyrin scaffolding and GABAA receptor synaptic ...

Gephyrin Oligomerization Controls GlyR Mobility and Synaptic Clustering [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2009
High local concentrations of glycine receptors (GlyRs) at inhibitory postsynaptic sites are achieved through their binding to the scaffold protein gephyrin. The N- and C-terminal domains of gephyrin are believed to trimerize and dimerize, respectively, thus contributing to the formation of submembranous gephyrin clusters at synapses.

Parvalbumin interneurons in Alzheimer's disease: Physiological insights and pathophysiological mechanisms

open access: yesJournal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 3, September 2026.
Physiological and Pathological Alterations in PV+ Neurons: Under physiological conditions, PV+ interneurons exhibit fast‐spiking properties and generate gamma oscillations at the cost of high energy consumption. In AD, PV+ neurons display abnormalities in ion channels, dendrites, neurotransmission, energy metabolism, and neural oscillations, ultimately

Neuronal cotransport of glycine receptor and the scaffold protein gephyrin [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2006
The dynamics of postsynaptic receptor scaffold formation and remodeling at inhibitory synapses remain largely unknown. Gephyrin, which is a multimeric scaffold protein, interacts with cytoskeletal elements and stabilizes glycine receptors (GlyRs) and individual subtypes of γ-aminobutyric acid A receptors at inhibitory postsynaptic sites.
