- LiteralL "t high magnification, the immunostaining signals for eIF-4E, 4E-BP1, and 4E-BP2 were seen to oppose and slightly overlap with the signals for synapsin-I (a presynaptic protein) staining, suggesting their localization on the postsynaptic side (see Fig. Fig.33 Ac, Af, and Ai Insets). In particular, 4E-BP2 seemed to be significantly enriched in the postsynaptic region with a lower signal evident in the dendritic shaft, when compared with eIF-4E and 4E-BP1. The mTOR-positive regions were observed in the dendritic shaft in a diffuse pattern that extended into synaptic regions (Fig. (Fig.33Al). Consistent with the notion of postsynaptic localization of these proteins, double labeling with PSD-95 showed the signals from eIF-4E, 4E-BP1, and mTOR at synaptic regions almost completely overlapped with PSD-95 signals (Fig. (Fig.33B)."
