MTM-6, a phosphoinositide phosphatase, is required to promote synapse formation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Forming the proper number of synapses is crucial for normal neuronal development. We found that loss of function of the phosphoinositide phosphatase mtm-6 results in a reduction in the number of synaptic puncta. The reduction in synapses is partially the result of MTM-6 regulation of the secretion o...
