Résumé : |
Synaptic connections are established between neurons during development of the nervous system after axon path finding and dendrite development. Synapse development is mediated by specific synaptic cell adhesion molecules (SCAMs) that accumulate at pre- and postsynaptic sites and trigger synaptic differentiation through interactions with intra- and extracellular proteins. These interactions are essential to align pre- and postsynaptic specializations and to couple the sites of cell-to-cell adhesion to the cytoskeletal and signaling complexes required to recruit and recycle presynaptic vesicles, components of exo- and endocytic zones, and postsynaptic receptors. Not surprisingly, it has been demonstrated that in humans, deletions or mutations in some of the SCAM genes are associated with several neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability, and schizophrenia, although the exact connection between genetic background and biochemical mechanisms by which these mutations contribute to the diseases has been only partially revealed. This chapter describes the multiple functions and associated synaptic alterations of the SCAM genes found mutated in neurodevelopmental diseases. |
