Annotation description:Fig.S2: "VPS35 interaction with GluA1 and GluA2"
- "To understand how VPS35 regulates AMPAR trafficking, we asked whether AMPARs (GluA1 and GluA2) interact with VPS35 and are cargos of retromer. Indeed, both GFP-GluA1 and GFP-GluA2 were co-localized with endogenous VPS35 in hippocampal neurons, particularly in the shaft of dendrites (Additional file 2: Figure S2A-S2B). GFP-GluA1 was also detected in the Flag-tagged VPS35 immunoprecipitated complex in HEK293 cells (Additional file 2: Figure S2C). These results support the view for AMPAR (e.g., GluA1) as a cargo of VPS35/retromer."

Fig.4: VPS35 is present in synaptosomes and in PSD preparations.

The authors remark that VPS35 is concentrated in shaft of dendrites, this supports the postsynaptic localization suggested by fractionation experiments.
