Prion protein recruits its neuronal receptor NCAM to lipid rafts to activate p59fyn and to enhance neurite outgrowth
In spite of advances in understanding the role of the cellular prion protein (PrP) in neural cell interactions, the mechanisms of PrP function remain poorly characterized. We show that PrP interacts… Expand

RPTPα is essential for NCAM-mediated p59fyn activation and neurite elongation
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) forms a complex with p59fyn kinase and activates it via a mechanism that has remained unknown. We show that the NCAM140 isoform directly interacts with the… Expand

NCAM promotes assembly and activity-dependent remodeling of the postsynaptic signaling complex
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) regulates synapse formation and synaptic strength via mechanisms that have remained unknown. We show that NCAM associates with the postsynaptic spectrin-based… Expand

Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) association with PKCβ2 via βI spectrin is implicated in NCAM-mediated neurite outgrowth
In hippocampal neurons and transfected CHO cells, neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) 120, NCAM140, and NCAM180 form Triton X-100–insoluble complexes with βI spectrin. Heteromeric spectrin (αIβI)… Expand

Glial Scar Expression of CHL1, the Close Homolog of the Adhesion Molecule L1, Limits Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury
The Ig superfamily adhesion molecule CHL1, the close homolog of the adhesion molecule L1, promotes neurite outgrowth, neuronal migration, and survival in vitro. We tested whether CHL1, similar to its… Expand

The Adhesion Molecule CHL1 Regulates Uncoating of Clathrin-Coated Synaptic Vesicles
In searching for binding partners of the intracellular domain of the immunoglobulin superfamily adhesion molecule CHL1, we identified the clathrin-uncoating ATPase Hsc70. CHL1 gene ablation resulted… Expand

Neural Cell Adhesion Molecules of the Immunoglobulin Superfamily Regulate Synapse Formation, Maintenance, and Function
Immunoglobulin superfamily adhesion molecules are among the most abundant proteins in vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems. Prominent family members are the neural cell adhesion molecules NCAM… Expand

Cellular Form of Prion Protein Inhibits Reelin-Mediated Shedding of Caspr from the Neuronal Cell Surface to Potentiate Caspr-Mediated Inhibition of Neurite Outgrowth
Extension of axonal and dendritic processes in the CNS is tightly regulated by outgrowth-promoting and -inhibitory cues to assure precision of synaptic connections. We identify a novel role for… Expand

Age‐dependent loss of parvalbumin‐expressing hippocampal interneurons in mice deficient in CHL1, a mental retardation and schizophrenia susceptibility gene
In humans, deletions/mutations in the CHL1/CALL gene are associated with mental retardation and schizophrenia. Juvenile CHL1‐deficient (CHL1−/−) mice have been shown to display abnormally high… Expand

CHL1 Is a Selective Organizer of the Presynaptic Machinery Chaperoning the SNARE Complex
Proteins constituting the presynaptic machinery of vesicle release undergo substantial conformational changes during the process of exocytosis. While changes in the conformation make proteins… Expand
