학위논문(박사) -- 서울대학교대학원 : 의과대학 의과학과, 2023. 8. 장성호.Ablation of nArgBP2, a candidate gene of intellectual disability (ID), caused defects in spine maturation and excitatory synapse formation in developing neurons. Interestingly, I found that the KD of nArgBP2 in mature neurons did not lead to any observable morphological abnormalities in the preexisting spines during resting conditions, thereby prompting further inquiries into its functional role in mature neurons. However, I found that nArgBP2 KD completely abolished the enlargement of dendritic spines during chemically induced long-term potentiation (cLTP) in mature neurons. I found that nArgBP2 forms biomolecular condensates in dendritic spines by phase separation and that these condensat...
