abstract = {Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (RPTPσ)
regulates neuronal extension and acts as a presynaptic nexus
for multiple protein and proteoglycan interactions during
synaptogenesis. Unknown mechanisms govern the shift in
RPTPσ function, from outgrowth promotion to synaptic
organization. Here, we report crystallographic, electron
microscopic and small-angle X-ray scattering analyses, which
reveal sufficient inter-domain flexibility in the RPTPσ
extracellular region for interaction with both cis (same
cell) and trans (opposite cell) ligands. Crystal structures
of RPTPσ bound to its postsynaptic ligand TrkC detail an
interaction surface partially overlapping the
glycosaminoglycan-binding site. Accordingly, heparan
sulphate and heparin oligomers compete with TrkC for RPTPσ
binding in vitro and disrupt TrkC-dependent synaptic
differentiation in neuronal co-culture assays. We propose
that transient RPTPσ ectodomain emergence from the
presynaptic proteoglycan layer allows capture by TrkC to
form a trans-synaptic complex, the consequent reduction in
RPTPσ flexibility potentiating interactions with additional
ligands to orchestrate excitatory synapse formation.},
