This study identifies DEPDC5 as a key regulator of excitatory synaptic strength via its interaction with USP46. Using a mouse model, the authors demonstrate that DEPDC5 loss leads to increased AMPA receptor activity and excitatory synaptic transmission.
Loss of Depdc5 enhances excitatory synaptic transmission through dysregulated AMPA receptor expression, implicating its role in epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders.
