4.1N is required for activity-dependent GluR1 (GluA1) AMPA receptor insertion into the plasma membrane. PKC phosphorylation of GluR1 at S816 and S818 enhances 4.1N binding to GluR1 and facilitates GluR1 insertion. Palmitoylation of GluR1 C811 modulates PKC phosphorylation and GluR1 insertion. Disrupting 4.1N-dependent GluR1 insertion decreases surface GluR1 expression and impairs LTP expression. |

4.1N interacts with PIKE (a nuclear GTPase) and translocates to the nucleus upon NGF treatment, where overexpression of 4.1N abolishes PIKE-mediated enhancement of nuclear PI3K lipid kinase activity. NGF-stimulated nuclear translocation of 4.1N inhibits PIKE activation of nuclear PI3K. |

4.1N interacts specifically with D2 and D3 dopamine receptors via the N-terminal segment of their third intracellular domain and the C-terminal domain of 4.1N. Expression of a 4.1N truncation fragment reduces plasma membrane localization of D2 and D3 receptors, indicating 4.1N is required for dopamine receptor surface expression. |

4.1N binds to the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of IP3R1 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1) and is required for translocation of IP3R1 to the basolateral membrane domain in polarized MDCK cells. The 4.1N-binding region of IP3R1 is necessary and sufficient for basolateral targeting, and a fragment of the IP3R1-binding region of 4.1N blocks co-expressed IP3R1 basolateral localization. |

4.1N interacts with the nuclear mitotic apparatus protein NuMA via its C-terminal domain. NGF treatment causes translocation of 4.1N to the nucleus and promotes 4.1N–NuMA association. Nuclear-targeted 4.1N arrests PC12 cells at G1 and produces aberrant nuclear morphology. Inhibition of 4.1N nuclear translocation prevents NGF-mediated cell division arrest, which is reversed by 4.1N overexpression. |

4.1N binds specifically to the CTDDelta splice form of 4.1N via a 50-amino-acid fragment in the C-terminal tail of IP3R1. The 4.1N–IP3R1 complex is enriched in synaptic locations and can be immunoprecipitated from rat brain synaptosomes. A quaternary complex of IP3R1–4.1N–CASK–syndecan-2 can form in vitro. |

4.1N acts as a linker between IP3R1 and actin filaments in neuronal dendrites, restricting lateral diffusion of IP3R1 on the ER membrane. Dominant-negative 4.1N or blockade of 4.1N binding to IP3R1 increased IP3R1 diffusion constant. Adding the 4.1N-binding sequence to IP3R3 (which normally lacks it) conferred actin-dependent restriction of its diffusion. |

IP3R1 localization via 4.1N is necessary for Ca2+ wave formation, which in turn mediates neurite formation in NGF-differentiated PC12 cells. RNAi knockdown of 4.1N attenuated neurite formation and shifted IP3-evoked Ca2+ signaling from waves to homogeneous patterns. |

4.1N interacts with GluK1 and GluK2 kainate receptor subunits through a membrane-proximal C-terminal domain region. This interaction is required for forward trafficking, plasma membrane distribution, and regulated endocytosis of GluK2a receptors. Palmitoylation of GluK2a promotes 4.1N association and surface expression, while PKC activation decreases 4.1N–GluK2/3 interaction in acute brain slices. |

4.1N interacts with the α7 acetylcholine receptor. DCP-LA increases the association of α7 AChR with 4.1N in a PKC-dependent manner (without directly phosphorylating 4.1N). 4.1N knockdown suppresses α7 AChR membrane surface localization, and DCP-LA-enhanced membrane surface expression of α7 AChR is prevented by 4.1N knockdown. |

4.1N localizes to the lateral membrane of human bronchial epithelial cells, where it associates with E-cadherin, β-catenin, and βII spectrin. RNAi depletion of 4.1N reduces lateral membrane height; this is rescued by re-expression of mouse 4.1N. 4.1N is required for full lateral membrane assembly but not the initial phase of lateral membrane biogenesis. |

CaMKII phosphorylates 4.1N during TBS-induced LTP in rat hippocampal CA1 neurons, and this phosphorylation facilitates assembly of a p-CaMKII–4.1N–GluA1 complex that drives GluA1 trafficking to postsynaptic densities. Disrupting the 4.1N–GluA1 interaction (Tat-GluA1 MPR peptide) or inhibiting CaMKII (Myr-AIP) both attenuated LTP and reduced postsynaptic GluA1, but neither affected basal mEPSCs. |

4.1N is required for GluA1 intracellular transport and exocytosis during both basal transmission and cLTP in neurons. SAP97 is essential for GluA1 intracellular transport under basal conditions, while 4.1N controls exocytosis basally and both transport and exocytosis during cLTP. Deletion of the GluA1 C-terminal domain fully suppresses intracellular transport. |

4.1N plays a cell type-specific role in hippocampal glutamatergic synapses: knockdown in dentate gyrus (DG) granule neurons reduces glutamatergic synapse number and function, whereas knockdown in CA1 pyramidal neurons has no effect on basal transmission. The FERM domain of 4.1N (not the CTD) is essential for supporting synaptic AMPAR function in DG granule neurons. |
