This study shows that endocytic protein localization to periactive zones in synapses is independent of active zone assembly and synaptic activity.

The paper identifies distinct molecular machineries for Ca2+ channel clustering and synaptic vesicle priming at active zones, showing that Liprin- and PTPσ specifically support priming site assembly.

This study shows phosphorylation of Liprin-3 triggers phase separation to regulate presynaptic active zone structure and function.

This study investigates the role of LAR-RPTPs in synapse structure and function by analyzing triple knockout mice, finding they are dispensable for presynaptic organization and function.
