Synaptic NMDA-type glutamate receptors are anchored to the
second of three PDZ (PSD-95/Discs large/ZO-1) domains in the
postsynaptic density (PSD) protein PSD-95. Here, we report that citron,
a protein target for the activated form of the small GTP-binding
protein Rho, preferentially binds the third PDZ domain of PSD-95. In
GABAergic neurons from the hippocampus, citron forms a complex with
PSD-95 and is concentrated at the postsynaptic side of glutamatergic synapses. Citron is expressed only at low levels in glutamatergic neurons in the hippocampus and is not detectable at synapses onto these
neurons. In contrast to citron, p135 SynGAP, an abundant synaptic Ras GTPase-activating protein that can bind to all three PDZ
domains of PSD-95, and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent
protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) are concentrated postsynaptically at
glutamatergic synapses on glutamatergic neurons. CaM kinase II is not
expressed and p135 SynGAP is expressed in less than half of hippocampal
GABAergic neurons.
Segregation of citron into inhibitory neurons does not occur in other
brain regions. For example, citron is expressed at high levels in most
thalamic neurons, which are primarily glutamatergic and contain CaM
kinase II. In several other brain regions, citron is present in a
subset of neurons that can be either GABAergic or glutamatergic and can
sometimes express CaM kinase II. Thus, in the hippocampus, signal
transduction complexes associated with postsynaptic NMDA receptors are
different in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons and are specialized in
a way that is specific to the hippocampus.
