NLGN2 and autism: We focused on two sites, a residue at R705 linked to an autism mutation previously found in NLGN4 that inhibited its function at excitatory synapses (Bemben et al., 2015), and a putative phosphorylation site at S714 previously shown to affect gephyrin binding to NLGN2 (Antonelli et al., 2014).
