Annotation description:"Interestingly expression of YFP-14-3-3z in hippocampal neurons had a dramatic effect on spine formation. 14-3-3z-overexpressing neurons presented a particularly high number of mature spines with mushroom-like heads, covering in some cases the entire dendrite (Fig. 6, B, E, and F). The presence of 14-3-3z
increased the density of mature spines by 40% compared with control YFP-transfected neurons (Fig. 6F)."
"Co-transfection of 14-3-3z with PIX did not change the total number of protrusions in the dendrites (Fig. 6E) but increased significantly the number of protrusions with heads in comparison to PIX alone (see arrows in Fig. 6D and
quantification in Fig. 6, E and F) suggesting that 14-3-3 is a potent spine maturation regulator. The protrusions in the double 14-3-3z- and PIX-transfected neurons had mature heads independent of the length of the protrusion."
