High impact information on CRIPT

  • CRIPT is a postsynaptic protein that binds selectively to the third PDZ domain (PDZ3) of PSD-95 [1].
  • Here we show that CRIPT also binds directly to microtubules, thereby linking PSD-95 to the microtubule cytoskeleton [1].
  • The structural features of the PDZ domains with the C-termini of different receptors (GluR6), channels (Kv1.4), and cytoskeletal proteins (CRIPT) provide insight into targeting these regions [2].
