Here, we show that postsynaptic p21-activated kinase (Pak) signaling diverges into two genetically separable pathways at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction. One pathway controls glutamate receptor abundance. Pak within this is specified by a required interaction with adaptor protein Dreadlocks (Dock). We demonstrate Dock localized to synapse via an Src homology 2-mediated interaction. not necessary for localization but restrict control A second function of muscle membrane specialization...
