Mutations in the gene encoding the synaptic scaffolding protein SHANK3 are associated with autism spectrum disorders
- C. Durand, C. Betancur, +20 authors T. Bourgeron
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 2007
SHANK3 (also known as ProSAP2) regulates the structural organization of dendritic spines and is a binding partner of neuroligins; genes encoding neuroligins are mutated in autism and Asperger… Expand
Autistic-like behaviours and hyperactivity in mice lacking ProSAP1/Shank2
- M. Schmeisser, E. Ey, +24 authors T. Boeckers
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature

Autism spectrum disorders comprise a range of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication, and by repetitive behaviour. Mutations in synaptic… Expand
Adaptation of sucrose metabolism in the Escherichia coli wild-type strain EC3132.
- K. Jahreis, Lars Bentler, +4 authors J. Lengeler
- Medicine, Biology
- Journal of bacteriology
- 1 October 2002
Although Escherichia coli strain EC3132 possesses a chromosomally encoded sucrose metabolic pathway, its growth on low sucrose concentrations (5 mM) is unusually slow, with a doubling time of 20 h.… Expand
Proline-Rich Synapse-Associated Protein-1/Cortactin Binding Protein 1 (ProSAP1/CortBP1) Is a PDZ-Domain Protein Highly Enriched in the Postsynaptic Density
- T. Boeckers, M. Kreutz, +8 authors E. Gundelfinger
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 1 August 1999
The postsynaptic density (PSD) is crucially involved in the structural and functional organization of the postsynaptic neurotransmitter reception apparatus. Using antisera against rat brain synaptic… Expand
ProSAP/Shank proteins – a family of higher order organizing molecules of the postsynaptic density with an emerging role in human neurological disease
- T. Boeckers, J. Bockmann, M. Kreutz, E. Gundelfinger
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of neurochemistry
- 1 June 2002
The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a specialized electron‐dense structure underneath the postsynaptic plasmamembrane of excitatory synapses. It is thought to anchor and cluster glutamate receptors… Expand
Proline-rich synapse-associated proteins ProSAP1 and ProSAP2 interact with synaptic proteins of the SAPAP/GKAP family.
- T. Boeckers, C. Winter, +5 authors E. Gundelfinger
- Biology, Medicine
- Biochemical and biophysical research…
- 14 October 1999
We have recently isolated a novel proline-rich synapse-associated protein-1 (ProSAP1) that is highly enriched in postsynaptic density (PSD). A closely related multidomain protein, ProSAP2, shares a… Expand
Abelson interacting protein 1 (Abi‐1) is essential for dendrite morphogenesis and synapse formation
- C. Proepper, S. Johannsen, +6 authors T. Boeckers
- Biology, Medicine
- The EMBO journal
- 7 March 2007
Synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity depend crucially on the dynamic and locally specific regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. We identified an important component for controlled actin assembly,… Expand
Characterization of a chromosomally encoded, non-PTS metabolic pathway for sucrose utilization in Escherichia coli EC3132

- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular and General Genetics MGG
- 1 October 1992
SummaryA wild-type isolate, EC3132, of Escherichia coli, that is able to grow on sucrose was isolated and its csc genes (mnemonic for chromosomally coded sucrose genes) transferred to strains of E.… Expand
Concerted action of zinc and ProSAP/Shank in synaptogenesis and synapse maturation
- A. Grabrucker, M. Knight, +9 authors T. Boeckers
- Biology, Medicine
- The EMBO journal
- 7 January 2011
Neuronal morphology and number of synapses is not static, but can change in response to a variety of factors, a process called synaptic plasticity. These structural and molecular changes are believed… Expand
Synaptic Scaffolding Proteins in Rat Brain
