Neuroligin-neurexin (NL-NRX) complexes are fundamental synaptic organizers in the central nervous system. An accurate spatial and temporal control of NL-NRX signaling is crucial to balance excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission, and perturbations are linked with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. MDGA proteins bind NLs and control their function and interaction with NRXs via unknown mechanisms. Here, we report crystal structures of MDGA1, the NL1-MDGA1 complex, and a spliced NL1 isoform. Two large, multi-domain MDGA molecules fold into rigid triangular structures, cradling a dimeric NL to prevent NRX binding. Structural analyses guided the discovery of a broad, splicing-modulated interaction network between MDGA and NL family members and helped rationalize the impact of autism-linked mutations. We demonstrate that expression levels largely determine whether MDGAs act selectively or suppress the synapse organizing function of multiple NLs. These results illustrate a potentially brain-wide regulatory mechanism for NL-NRX signaling modulation. The MDGA1 extracellular region has an unusual triangular multi-domain arrangement The NL1-MDGA1 complex structure reveals how MDGA proteins block neurexin binding MDGA1 and MDGA2 bind all NL isoforms, a process fine-tuned by alternative splicing MDGA1 and MDGA2 suppress NL synaptogenic activity in a concentration-dependent manner Elegheert et al. present the crystal structure of the autism-linked post-synaptic protein MDGA in complex with the synapse organizer neuroligin, providing a structural and mechanistic basis for potentially brain-wide modulation of synaptic neuroligin-neurexin signaling by MDGA proteins.
