Annotated paper:Brown TC, et al. "Functional compartmentalization of endosomal trafficking for the synaptic delivery of AMPA receptors during long-term potentiation" J Neurosci. 2007 Nov 28;27(48):13311-5 PMID:18045925
Figure(s):Figs 1, 2
Annotation description:Overexpression of dominant negative Rab11 decreases surface GluR1 levels (Fig 2) thereby abolishing potentiation in a LTP paradigm (Fig 1).

----------------
Fig.1: "Rab8 and Rab11 are strictly required for LTP."
Overexpression of Rab11dn prevents induction of LTP but does not alter basal synaptic transmission.

Fig.2: "Rab8 and Rab11 mediate separate anatomical steps in the synaptic delivery of AMPA receptors"

Note: The endosomal element of the annotation was based on author intent; Rab11 is a marker protein of the early endosomal compartment and is a well known regulator of endosomal trafficking.
