2. Figure 1 Neuroligin–β-neurexin signaling and synaptogenesis.
This model incorporates data from several papers, but is not yet proven by any. Neuroligin isoforms NL-1, NL-3 or NL-4, in association with PSD95, are postulated to induce formation of excitatory synapses, while NL-2, possibly associated with an as yet unidentified PSD95-like partner, leads to inhibitory synapse formation. This model predicts that NL-2 in association with the unknown partner, will be concentrated at neuronal somata, which are rich in GABAergic synapses.
