Required for synaptic plasticity associated with NMDA receptor signaling. Overexpression or depletion of DLG4 changes the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory synapses in hippocampal neurons. May reduce the amplitude of ASIC3 acid-evoked currents by retaining the channel intracellularly. May regulate the intracellular trafficking of ADR1B. Publication Abstract from PubMed The interaction of the extra-membranous domain of tetrameric inwardly rectifying Kir2.1 ion channels (Kir2.1NC(4)) with the membrane associated guanylate kinase protein PSD-95 has been studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy in negative stain. Three types of complexes were observed in electron micrographs corresponding to a 1:1 complex, a large self-enclosed tetrad complex and extended chains of linked channel domains. Using models derived from small angle X-ray scattering experiments in which high resolution structures from X-ray crystallographic and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance studies are positioned, the envelopes from single particle analysis can be resolved as a Kir2.1NC(4):PSD-95 complex and a tetrad of this unit (Kir2.1NC(4):PSD-95)(4). The tetrad complex shows the close association of the Kir2.1 cytoplasmic domains and the influence of PSD-95 mediated self-assembly on the clustering of these channels.
