Synaptic adhesion molecules regulate synapse development and plasticity through
mechanisms that include trans-synaptic adhesion and recruitment of diverse
synaptic proteins. We found that the immunoglobulin superfamily member 11
(IgSF11), a homophilic adhesion molecule that preferentially expressed in the
brain, is a dual-binding partner of the postsynaptic scaffolding protein PSD-95
and AMPA glutamate receptors (AMPARs). IgSF11 required PSD-95 binding for its
excitatory synaptic localization. In addition, IgSF11 stabilized synaptic AMPARs,
as determined by IgSF11 knockdown-induced suppression of AMPAR-mediated synaptic
transmission and increased surface mobility of AMPARs, measured by
high-throughput, single-molecule tracking. IgSF11 deletion in mice led to the
suppression of AMPAR-mediated synaptic transmission in the dentate gyrus and
long-term potentiation in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. IgSF11 did not
regulate the functional characteristics of AMPARs, including desensitization,
deactivation or recovery. These results suggest that IgSF11 regulates excitatory
synaptic transmission and plasticity through its tripartite interactions with
PSD-95 and AMPARs.
