Figure 3.

Samples of the diverse assembly components found in each compartment. A typical transsynaptic assembly has at least one intracellular component on each side of the synapse but may contain multiple. In this figure, a selection of six hand segmented assembly structures from each compartment are displayed in a grid ordered by volume. Each structure is shown with its transmembrane constituents (presynaptic, light green; postsynaptic, dark green). A–F, Examples of membrane-bound presynaptic structures (light blue). G–L, Examples of transcleft structures (pink) that constitute the core of an assembly. M–R, Examples of postsynaptic membrane-bound structures (dark blue). Scale bar: ∼10 nm.
