A Noelin-organized extracellular network of proteins required for constitutive and context-dependent anchoring of AMPA-receptors

Abstract: Information processing and storage in the brain rely on AMPA-receptors (AMPARs) and their context-dependent dynamics in synapses and extra-synaptic sites. We found that distribution and dynamics of AMPARs in the plasma membrane are controlled by Noelins, a three-member family of conserved secreted proteins expressed throughout the brain in a cell-type-specific manner. Noelin tetramers tightly assemble with the extracellular domains of AMPARs and interconnect them in a network-like configuration with a variety of secreted and membrane-anchored proteins including Neurexin1, Neuritin1, and Seizure 6-like. Knock out of Noelins1-3 profoundly reduced AMPARs in synapses onto excitatory and inhibitory (inter)neurons, decreased their density and clustering in dendrites, and abolished activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. Our results uncover an endogenous mechanism for extracellular anchoring of AMPARs and establish Noelin-organized networks as versatile determinants of constitutive and context-dependent neurotransmission
