This article reviews the important roles of IIa RPTPs in neuronal connectivity and synapse formation, as well as the research progress and future directions in this field. It also discusses the molecular assembly mechanism underlying the formation of synapse-specific nanostructures essential for synaptic functions.
Neurons establish circuits for brain functions such as cognition, emotion, learning, and memory. Their connections are mediated by synapses, which are specialized cell-cell adhesions responsible for neuronal signal transmission. During neurodevelopment, synapse formation is triggered by interactions of cell adhesion molecules termed synaptic organizers or synapse organizers. Type IIa receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (IIa RPTPs; also known as leukocyte common antigen-related receptor tyrosine phosphatases or LAR-RPTPs) play important roles in axon guidance and neurite extension, and also serve as presynaptic organizers. IIa RPTPs transsynaptically interact with multiple sets of postsynaptic organizers, mostly in a splicing-dependent fashion. Here, we review and update research progress on IIa RPTPs, particularly regarding their functional roles in vivo demonstrated using conditional knockout approach and structural insights into their extracellular and intracellular molecular interactions revealed by crystallography and other biophysical techniques. Future directions in the research field of IIa RPTPs are also discussed, including recent findings of the molecular assembly mechanism underlying the formation of synapse-specific nanostructures essential for synaptic functions.
