Annotation description:Fig.1: "c-Abl is present in synaptic sites in cultured hippocampal neurons"
- "To test whether c-Abl is present at synaptic sites in cultured neurons, we examined the colocalization with the presynaptic marker Syn I. As observed in Figure 1B, at 14 DIV, c-Abl clusters are apposed closely to Syn I puncta, suggesting that this kinase is mainly distributed postsynaptically (Fig. 1B) as reported previously in hippocampal Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapse (Moresco et al., 2003)...Along the dendritic shaft, we observed that GFP-c-Abl-WT clusters colocalize with PSD-95 puncta in close apposition to Syn I (Fig. 1C). The Mander's overlap coefficient (R) shows that c-Abl distribution presents a higher overlap degree with PSD-95 rather than Syn I (RPSD-95 = 0.6343 ± 0.01 vs RSyn I = 0.3517 ± 0.02). These results strongly suggest that c-Abl is mainly localized on postsynaptic structures."

Fig.4: "c-Abl interacts with PSD-95"
- "The immunoprecipitation with anti-c-Abl antibody followed by PSD-95 immunoblot showed that this postsynaptic scaffold protein forms part of a complex with c-Abl and NR1 (Fig. 4A)"
- "c-Abl is enriched in synaptosomal and PSD fractions from adult rat brain (Fig. 4C), validating the postsynaptic distribution of c-Abl in vivo"
- "In total brain homogenate and synaptosomal fraction 1, c-Abl was coimmunoprecipitated with PSD-95 and vice versa (Fig. 4D)."
