Neurexin transcripts are highly expressed in PV+ interneurons.
(A) Conditional expression of Rpl22-HA in pyramidal cells (CamK2Ribo) and fast-spiking interneurons (PVRibo) in mouse hippocampus (postnatal day 28). Immunoreactivity for epitope-tagged Rpl22 (anti-HA, green in merge), anti-PV (red in merge) is shown. Inset in merge shows an enlargement of the boxed area. (B) Purification of cell type-specific polysome-associated transcripts by RiboTrap affinity purification. Transcript levels were assessed by real-time qPCR for general markers of glutamatergic neurons (Vglut1, CamK2), markers of CA1 pyramidal cells (Wsf1), CA3 (Pvrl3), common GABAergic marker (Gad1), and fast-spiking markers (Pvalb and Erbb4). Enrichment in the immunoisolate (IP) was calculated relative to the input and was normalized to Gapdh (n = 3 independent mRNA preparations). (C) Expression of Nrxn1,2,3 transcripts in PV+ and CamK2+ cells was examined by real-time qPCR. Transcript levels in each preparation were normalized to the level of β-actin transcripts and enrichment in the immunoisolate (IP) was calculated relative to the input levels in total hippocampus (n = 4 independent mRNA preparations). Neurexin three beta transcripts were not reliably detectable with our assays in the hippocampus due to low expression (see Figure 1—figure supplement 1C for further information). (D) Expression of Nrxn3α in PV+ cells in CA1 (postnatal day 21) revealed by dual labeling with in situ hybridization using Nrxn3α probes and immunostaining using antibody against RFP in mice where PV+ cells are genetically marked by cre-dependent expression of red fluorescent protein (Pvalbcre::Ai9Tom).

Conditional Rpl22-HA expression in mouse hippocampus.
(A) HA-tagged Rpl22, conditionally expressed in CamK2cre::Rpl22-HA (CamK2Ribo) or (B) Parvalbumincre: :Rpl22-HA (PVRibo) mice, was detected with anti-HA antibodies (green). PV-expressing cells are marked with anti-PV antibodies (red) and hippocampal architecture is revealed with anti-NeuN antibodies (blue; mouse hippocampus, age postnatal age 25, area CA3, dentate gyrus, DG and dorsal subiculum, DS). Note that CamK2cre-dependent recombination of the Rpl22-HA allele in CA3 and DG is sparse. The arrows in the PVRibo panel represent PV+ cells which express HA in CA1.

Raw data for the radioactive PCR amplifications are shown in Figure 2—figure supplement 1 (n= 3-4 independent mRNA preparations). (D) Expression of Slm2 in PV+ cells in mouse hippocampus (postnatal day 25–30) was examined using Pvalbcre::Ai9Tom mice. Dual immunohistochemistry on vibratome sections reveals high Slm2 expression in hippocampal pyramidal cells but no detectable expression in the majority of PV+ cells in and adjacent to the stratum pyramidale (S.O: stratum oriens, S.P: statrum pyramidale, S.R: stratum radiatum).

Ectopic expression of Slm2 is sufficient to drive expression of Nrx AS4- isoforms.
(A) Detection of Slm2 level in cerebellar granule cells infected with AAV-GFP or AAV-Slm2-2A-Venus YFP by Western blotting analysis. Cerebellar granule cells do not express Slm2. The cultures were infected at day in vitro three and the samples were harvested at day in vitro 14. (B) The presence of Slm2 in cerebellar granule cells cultures induces the expression of Neurexin AS4- isoforms. The alternative exon incorporation choice is revealed by standard PCR amplification. For each sample two PCR reactions with increasing cDNA input are shown.

Regulation of Nrx3 interaction by AS4- splice insertions.
(A) Cbln1, 2, 3 and 4 mRNA expression level was assessed by real-time qPCR in CamK2Ribo and PVRibo preparations from mouse hippocampus. Transcript enrichment in the immunoisolate (IP) was calculated relative to the transcript level in the total hippocampus (input) and was normalized to Gapdh (n = 3 independent mRNA preparations). Note that Cbln1 mRNA could not be detected in the PVRibo mRNA preparation. ND: not detected. (B) Schematic for experimental setup: binding of Cbln1,2,4 proteins to COS7 cells expressing Nrx.

Analysis of PV+ specific Nrxn1/3ex21ΔPV conditional knock-out mice.
(A) The density of perisomatic GABAergic synapses in stratum pyramidale in CA1 of control and Nrxn1/3ex21ΔPV PV conditional double knock-out (cDKO) mice was examined by immunohistochemistry with anti-Neuroligin2 (NL2, in magenta) and anti-Synaptotagmin2 (Syt2, in green) antibodies at postnatal day 24–26. Note that Syt2 immuno-reactivity is specific for presynaptic terminals of PV+ cell synapses whereas NL2 is a common postsynaptic marker for most GABAergic synapses. Thus, only a fraction of NL2 puncta is apposed to Syt2-positive terminals. (B) The density of NL2 and Syt2 puncta per 100 μm2 of cell body area was quantified. Single dots in the graph represent means of respective synapse markers per animal (n = 4 mice per genotype). (C) Ultrastructure of inhibitory synapses in CA1 stratum pyramidale of littermate controls and Nrxn1/3ex21ΔPV mice. Presumptive PV+ cell perisomatic termini were identified by the presence of large mitochondria in the synapses apposed on the membrane of the soma and by their morphology (Takács et al., 2015). (D) Average vesicle numbers per active zone and (E) average active zone length in nm. Single dots in the graph represent means per animal (n = 4 mice for each genotype, ≥76 synapses). (F) Average number of vesicles located in 40 nm bins with increasing distance from the active zone normalized to 200 nm active zone length. Single dots in the graph represent means per animal (n = 4 mice for each genotype, ≥76 synapses). (G) mIPSC frequency and (H) amplitude in control and Nrxn1/3 ex21ΔPV mice. The recordings were performed in parallel with littermate controls. Single dots in the graph represent single cells (n = 3 control and 4 Nrxn1/3ex21ΔPV mice, mean ± SEM).

Note that Syt2 immuno-reactivity is specific for presynaptic terminals of PV+ cell synapses whereas NL2 is a common postsynaptic marker for most GABAergic synapses. Thus, only a fraction of NL2 puncta is apposed to Syt2-positive terminals. (B) The density of NL2 and Syt2 puncta per 100 μm2 of cell body area was quantified. Single dots in the graph represent means of respective synapse marker per animal (n = 6 mice for control and five mice for Nrxn3ex21ΔPV). (C) Ultrastructure of inhibitory synapse in CA1 stratum pyramidale of littermate controls and Nrxn3ex21ΔPV mice. Presumptive PV+ cell perisomatic termini were identified by the presence of large mitochondria in the synapses apposed on the membrane of the soma and by their morphology (Takács et al., 2015). (D) Average vesicle numbers per active zone and (E) average active zone length in nm. Single dots in the graph represent means per animal (n = 4 mice for each genotype, ≥146 synapses). (F) Average number of vesicles located in 40 nm bins with increasing distance from the active zone normalized to 200 nm active zone length. Single dots in the graph represent means per animals (n = 4 mice for each genotype, ≥146 synapses). (G) mIPSC frequency and (H) amplitude in control and Nrxn3 ex21ΔPV mice. The recordings were performed in parallel with littermate controls. Single dots in the graph represent single cells (n = 7 control and seven conditional knock-out mice, mean ± SEM).
