Formation and Stability of Synaptic Receptor Domains

摘要:

神经递质受体分子,集中在突触后结构域以及支架和许多其他分子,是跨突触信号传递的关键调节剂。采用实验和理论,我们开发了一个定量描述的突触受体结构域的反应扩散模型。我们发现,只有受体和支架分子之间的相互作用,以及受体在细胞膜上的快速扩散,是足够的突触受体域的形成和稳定的特征尺寸。我们的工作调和了突触受体结构域的长期稳定性与单个受体的快速周转和扩散。

英文摘要:

Neurotransmitter receptor molecules, concentrated in postsynaptic domains along with scaffold and a number of other molecules, are key regulators of signal transmission across synapses. Employing experiment and theory, we develop a quantitative description of synaptic receptor domains in terms of a reaction-diffusion model. We show that interactions between only receptor and scaffold molecules, together with the rapid diffusion of receptors on the cell membrane, are sufficient for the formation and stable characteristic size of synaptic receptor domains. Our work reconciles long-term stability of synaptic receptor domains with rapid turnover and diffusion of individual receptors.
