Neuronal development orchestrates the formation of an enormous number of synapses that connect the nervous system. In developing presynapses, the core active zone structure has been found to assemble through a liquid-liquid phase separation. Here, we find that the phase separation of SYD-2/Liprin-α, a key active zone scaffold, is controlled by phosphorylation. Using phosphoproteomics, we identify the SAD-1 kinase to phosphorylate SYD-2 and a number of other substrates. Presynaptic assembly is im ...[more]
