Annotated paper:Lee HW, et al. "Preso, a novel PSD-95-interacting FERM and PDZ domain protein that regulates dendritic spine morphogenesis" J Neurosci. 2008 Dec 31;28(53):14546-56 PMID:19118189
Figure(s):Fig.4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Annotation description:Fig.4: "Dendritic spine density is regulated by Preso overexpression and dominant-negative inhibition"

Fig.5: "Preso knockdown decreases the number of dendritic spines and excitatory synapses"

Fig.6: "Preso knockdown decreases excitatory synaptic transmission"

Fig.7: "Preso interacts with βPix and increases spine density in a manner requiring the PDZ and FERM domains"
- Note: betaPix is a known regulator of actin dynamics in the synapse
