Annotated paper:Wegner AM, et al. "N-wasp and the arp2/3 complex are critical regulators of actin in the development of dendritic spines and synapses" J Biol Chem. 2008 Jun 6;283(23):15912-20 PMID:18430734
Figure(s):Fig6A
Annotation description:Fig.6: "The Arp2/3 complex regulates the formation of dendritic spines and synapses in hippocampal neurons"
- Literal: "Higher magnification images showed that Arp3 puncta were in close apposition to SV2 clusters and completely merged with PSD-95 puncta, indicating that Arp3, like N-WASP, is enriched on the postsynaptic side of excitatory synapses (Fig. 6A)."
