“…PRG-1 is expressed at postsynaptic sites of principal neurons and acts in a non-cell-autonomous fashion by controlling LPA in the synaptic cleft, which in turn stimulates presynaptic LPA receptors resulting in an increased release probability of glutamate vesicles at excitatory synapses (Tokumitsu et al, 2010;Trimbuch et al, 2009;Vogt et al, 2016). Previous studies have shown that various members of the PRG family play a role in regulating structural plasticity, including filopodia formation, neurite extension, and brain reorganization after lesion (Brauer et al, 2003;Broggini et al, 2010;Coiro et al, 2014;Peeva et al, 2006;Savaskan et al, 2004;Sigal et al, 2007;Velmans et al, 2013). However, using ionmobility enhanced data-independent label-free liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS), we have detected PRG-1 as a characteristic postsynaptic density (PSD) protein, while the other members of the PRG family were not found in a high-confidence PSD preparation (Distler et al, 2014).…”
