Abstract

PTPδ, encoded by PTPRD, is implicated in various neurological, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. PTPδ trans-synaptically interacts with multiple postsynaptic adhesion molecules, which involves its extracellular alternatively spliced mini-exons, meA and meB. While PTPδ-meA functions have been studied in vivo, PTPδ-meB has not been studied. Here, we report that, unlike homozygous PTPδ-meA-mutant mice, homozygous PTPδ-meB-mutant (Ptprd-meB–/–) mice show markedly reduced early postnatal survival. Heterozygous Ptprd-meB+/– male mice show behavioral abnormalities and decreased excitatory synaptic density and transmission in dentate gyrus granule cells (DG-GCs). Proteomic analyses identify decreased postsynaptic density levels of IL1RAP, a known trans-synaptic partner of meB-containing PTPδ. Accordingly, IL1RAP-mutant mice show decreased excitatory synaptic transmission in DG-GCs. Ptprd-meB+/– DG interneurons with minimal IL1RAP expression show increased excitatory synaptic density and transmission. Therefore, PTPδ-meB is important for survival, synaptic, and behavioral phenotypes and regulates excitatory synapses in cell-type-specific and IL1RAP-dependent manners.
