Switch #:
SWTI000651
Switch type:
Binary
Switch subtype:
Pre-translational

Description:
Alternative splicing removes the EH-binding motif of Synaptojanin-1 (SYNJ1), abrogating binding to Epidermal growth factor receptor substrate 15 (EPS15). Isoform Synaptojanin-170 of Synaptojanin-1 (SYNJ1) is associated with clathrin-mediated endocytosis as a negative regulator of coat-membrane interaction. This isoform is virtually absent from mature neuronal synapses, where clathrin-mediated endocytosis plays a critical role and where Isoform Synaptojanin-145 of Synaptojanin-1 (SYNJ1) is by far the major synaptojanin isoform. Isoform Synaptojanin-145 of Synaptojanin-1 (SYNJ1) may be recruited early to clathrin-coated pits of synapses, either indirectly by adaptors that bind clathrin and AP-2, such as Amphiphysin (AMPH), or by interactions of endophilin family dimers with synaptic vesicle cargo, such as the vesicular glutamate transport.
