Annotation description:Fig.5: "Expression of ABHD17 selectively depalmitoylates PSD-95 in neurons"
- "When wild-type ABHD17B was overexpressed by an AAV vector, the amount of di-palmitoylated PSD-95 was greatly reduced and that of non-palmitoylated PSD-95 was inversely increased (Fig. 5). "

Fig.6: "Expression of ABHD17 reduces synaptic clustering of PSD-95 and AMPA receptor in neurons"
- "Consistent with biochemical data, expression of ABHD17B dramatically reduced the intensity of synaptic PSD-95 clusters (Fig. 6A,B) ... Because palmitoylation-deficient GluA1 mutant shows the normal cell-surface distribution (Hayashi et al., 2005), it is suggested that the reduction of synaptic GluA1 is mediated by decreased PSD-95 scaffolds rather than slight GluA1 depalmitoylation."

Fig.8; "ABHD17 specifically mediates PSD-95 depalmitoylation in neurons. "
- "When we simultaneously knocked-down ABHD17A, 17B, and 17C by the AAV-miRNA vector (Fig. 3E), ... Importantly, triple-knockdown of ABHD17 members apparently delayed PSD-95 depalmitoylation process (Fig. 8A, B) and significantly prolonged the half-life of palmitate on PSD-95 to 4.8 ± 1.3 h (Fig. 8D). When neurons were treated with 2-BP for 2 h, the intensity of synaptic PSD-95 clusters was significantly reduced (Fig. 8E,F), indicating rapid depalmitoylation of PSD-95 at local synapses. Consistent with biochemical data, this reduction of PSD-95 clusters was significantly suppressed in neurons in which ABHD17 members were knocked-down. "
