Tubulin is an essential building block of postsynaptic density

Tatsuo Suzuki, Toshihiro Fujii, Kiyokazu Kametani, Weidong Li, Katsuhiko Tabuchi · FENS Forum 2024

The presence and roles of tubulin in and around the postsynaptic density (PSD) has long been a point of debate, despite the identification of tubulin immunoreactivity in the PSD as early as 1975. In our previous paper (Suzuki et al., 2021, Life Science Alliance, 4; e202000945) we have suggested a fundamental role for tubulin in the structure of the postsynaptic density (PSD) at excitatory synapses based on our experiments on PSD lattice (PSDL), which is an backbone structure for PSD. This investigation extends our prior exploration of the PSDL, and unveils a hitherto unrecognized characteristi
