Abstract

Yoon et al. show that deubiquitination of proteins containing ankyrin-repeat domains is essential for the correct developmental trajectory of cortical synapses, with disruption of the deubiquitinase Usp9X resulting in deficient synaptic structural plasticity as well as behavioral and clinical abnormalities.
