Protein assembly at the postsynaptic density (PSD) of neuronal
synapses is mediated in part by protein interactions with PSD-95/discs large/zona occludens-1 (PDZ) motifs. Here, we identify MALS-1, -2, -3, a family of small synaptic proteins containing little more than
a single PDZ domain. MALS-1, -2, and -3 are mammalian homologs
LIN-7, a Caenorhabditis elegans protein essential
for vulval development. In contrast to functions for LIN-7 in
epithelial cells, MALS-1 and -2 are selectively expressed in specific
neuronal populations in brain and are enriched in PSD fractions. In
cultured hippocampal neurons, MALS proteins are clustered together with PSD-95 and NMDA type glutamate receptors, consistent with a
postsynaptic localization for MALS proteins. Immunoprecipitation and
affinity chromatography studies readily identify association of MALS
with PSD-95 and an NMDA receptor subunit. The PDZ domain of MALS
selectively binds to peptides terminating in E-T/S-R/X-V/I/L, which
corresponds to the C terminus of NMDA type 2 receptors and numerous
other ion channels at the PSD. This work suggests a role for MALS
proteins in regulating recruitment of neurotransmitter receptors to the PSD.
Key words:
