摘要

Neuronal pentraxin receptor (NPTXR) is a synaptic organizing protein important for excitatory neurotransmission, yet its structural properties remain poorly defined. The conserved C-terminal pentraxin (PTX) domain of NPTXR (NPTXRPTX) is expected to mediate interactions with synaptic partners but has not been structurally characterized. Here, we report near-complete backbone NMR resonance assignments of NPTXRPTX using uniformly 15N, 13C-labeled protein. These assignments provide a foundation for further studies of NPTXR-ligand interactions that drive NPTXR-dependent synapse organization and will advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic assembly and maintenance.
