Members of the synapse-associated protein-97 (SAP97) family of scaffold
proteins have been implicated as central organizers of synaptic junctions to
build macromolecular signaling complexes around specific postsynaptic
neurotransmitter receptors. In this regard, SAP97 has been suggested to
regulate the synaptic localization of glutamate receptor type 1 subunits of
the AMPA-type glutamate receptors. To test this hypothesis directly, we
assessed the effects of SAP97 overexpression on surface expression of synaptic
AMPA receptors. We find that recombinant SAP97 not only becomes concentrated
at synaptic junctions but also leads to an increase in synaptic AMPA
receptors, spine enlargement, and an increase in miniature EPSC (mEPSC)
frequency, indicating that SAP97 has both postsynaptic and presynaptic effects
on synaptic transmission. Synaptic targeting of SAP97, increased surface AMPA
receptors, and increased mEPSC frequency are dependent on the presence of
specific alternatively spliced sequences in SAP97 that encode a protein 4.1
binding site. These results suggest that SAP97 can affect the synaptic
recruitment of AMPA receptors and spine morphology and that these effects may
be regulated by alternative splicing.
