Abstract

The crystal structure of Drebrin-HBM1/Homer-EVH1 reveals an extended Homer EVH1 binding motif. Homer tetramer promotes actin bundling activity of Drebrin and stimulates Drebrin-induced filopodia formation in cells, suggesting a potential role of Homer1 in modulating synaptic spine homeostatic scaling via binding to Drebrin.
