Abstract

Kalirin, a multifunctional Rho GDP/GTP exchange factor, plays a vital role in cytoskeletal organization, affecting process initiation and outgrowth in neurons. Through alternative splicing, the Kalirin gene generates multiple functionally distinct proteins. Kalirin-7 (Kal7) is the most prevalent isoform in the adult rat hippocampus; it terminates with a postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95)/Discs large/zona occludens-1 (PDZ) binding motif, is localized to the postsynaptic density, interacts with PSD-95, and causes the formation of dendritic spines when overexpressed in pyramidal neurons. Levels of Kal7 are low in the dendrites of hippocampal aspiny interneurons. In these interneurons, Kal7 is localized to the postsynaptic side of excitatory synapses onto dendritic shafts, overlapping clusters of PSD-95 and NMDA receptor subunit NR1. Selectively decreasing levels of Kal7 decreases the density of PSD-95-positive, bassoon-positive clusters along the dendritic shaft of hippocampal interneurons. Overexpression of Kal7 increases dendritic branching, inducing formation of spine-like structures along the dendrites and on the soma of normally aspiny hippocampal interneurons. Essentially all of the spine-like structures formed in response to ...Continue Reading
