The L1 adhesion molecule functions in axon growth and guidance, but a role in synaptic development of cortical inhibitory interneurons is largely unexplored. L1 mediates adhesion by engaging the actin cytoskeleton through binding the actin/spectrin adapter protein ankyrin. Loss of L1-ankyrin interaction impaired process elaboration/branching by GABAergic interneurons, including basket cells, and reduced the number of perisomatic synapses in the cingulate cortex as shown in L1 mutant mice (L1YH) with a mutation in the ankyrin-binding site, either alone or intercrossed with GAD67-enhanced green fluorescence protein reporter mice. Electron microscopy revealed that perisomatic inhibitory synapses but not excitatory synapses in the neuropil were specifically affected. In wild-type cingulate cortex, L1 colocalized with perisomatic synaptic markers, whereas L1 phosphorylation on Tyr(1229) decreased postnatally, correlating with increased ankyrin binding and synaptic development. These results suggest a novel role for L1 engagement with the actin cytoskeleton in development of inhibitory connectivity within the cingulate cortex.
