"Rationale: Presynaptic NPR directly binds to the GluA1-N terminal extracellular domain and stimulates assembly of both excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic sites. Loss of NPR suppressed surface GluA1 levels, and impaired excitatory synaptic transmission, without affecting synapse numbers.\n\nFigs.1 and 5 support that NPR is involved in formation of postsynaptic specializations.\nFig.2 shows that NPR binds the GluA1-NTD.\nFigs.10 and 11 show that global NPR knockdown in pre- and post-synaptic neurons impairs excitatory postsynaptic scaffold assembly and the strength of excitatory transmission.. Experimental description: Mouse hippocampal neurons were prepared.\n\n23/6/2017 Pim\n-All overexpression constructs are of human species: \"The constructs encoding cDNAs of hNPR (HsCD00083063), hNP1 (HsCD00296108), and hNARP (HsCD00040444) were obtained from PlasmID (http://plasmid.med.harvard.edu/PLASMID/).\"\n- Species of GluA1-NTD overexpressed protein is not mentioned." . . .
