TREM2 signaling controls the spatial distribution of complement regulators CD55 and CD46 on synaptic membranes, determining which synapses are vulnerable to complement-mediated pruning. Under normal conditions, TREM2 activation promotes the expression and clustering of CD55/CD46 at perisomatic inhibitory synapses through DAM pathway signaling, while maintaining low regulator density at distal excitatory synapses. This creates a protective gradient where inhibitory circuits are preserved while al
The activity-dependent trafficking of complement regulators CD55 and CD46 to synaptic surfaces represents a dynamic regulatory mechanism controlling complement-mediated synaptic pruning through vesicular transport and membrane insertion. Rather than static differential expression, CD55 and CD46 undergo rapid, activity-dependent translocation from intracellular vesicular pools to synaptic membranes via SNARE-mediated exocytosis. High-frequency synaptic activity triggers calcium influx through NMD
