Neuron-specific protein expression at striatal excitatory synapses

Y.-Z.Wang T. Perez-Rosello D. J. Surmeier J. N. Savas

摘要

Combinatorial expression of postsynaptic proteins underlies synapse diversity within and between neuron types 1-5. Thus, characterization of neuron-type-specific postsynaptic proteomes is key to obtaining a deeper understanding of discrete synaptic properties and how selective dysfunction manifests in synaptopathies 6-9. To overcome the limitations associated with bulk measures of synaptic protein abundance 6,10, we developed a biotin proximity protein tagging probe to characterize neuron-type-specific postsynaptic proteomes in vivo. We found Shank3 protein isoforms are differentially expressed by direct and indirect pathway spiny projection neurons (dSPNs and iSPNs). Studies in mice lacking Shank3 gene exons 13-16 revealed a robust postsynaptic proteome alteration in iSPNs. We report unexpected cell-type specific synaptic protein isoform expression which could play a key causal role in specifying synapse diversity and selective synapse dysfunction in synaptopathies.
