2 Figure 1 Neuroligin/Neurexin Complex at the Synapse
(A) Neuroligins (blue) dimerize through a four-helix bundle, which allows two neurexin molecules (orange) to bind the neuroligin dimer. Presence of an insert at splice site B in neuroligins (red) diminishes binding of neuroligins to α-neurexins. (B) Mutations associated with autism are predicted to disrupt neuroligin dimerization and reduce the affinity of neuroligins for neurexins. Neuron  , DOI: ( /j.neuron ) Copyright © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
