Annotation description:Fig.1: "Dynamin isoform-specific association with Shank/ProSAP proteins and mapping of the binding sites via the yeast two-hybrid assay"

Fig.2: "Co-immunoprecipitation of dynamin and Shank in COS7 cells"
- "...t dynamin-2 co-immunoprecipitates Shank2 more efficiently than does dynamin-1. Both dynamin isoforms co-immunoprecipitated Myc-tagged Shank1 (Fig. 2b), and, again, overexpressed dynamin-2 performed better than dynamin-1."

Fig.3: "Dynamin-2 interacts directly with the Shank/ProSAP family members"
- "To ascertain whether the interaction between dynamin-2 and the Shank family is, indeed, direct, a GST fusion protein containing the region of Shank2 corresponding to the initially identified prey fragment was tested for its ability to bind purified dynamin-2. Clear binding by the GST-Shank2 fusion protein, but not by GST alone, was observed (Fig. 3a)."

Fig.4: "Immunofluorescence microscopy of dynamin isoforms in hippocampal neurons"
- "Immunofluorescence microscopy of cultured hippocampal neurons revealed punctate staining along dendrites with both the dynamin-2 and dynamin-1b carboxyl-terminal isoform-specific antibodies (Fig. 4). The dynamin-2 staining exhibited clear co-localization with the synaptic marker synaptophysin (Fig. 4)."

Fig.5: "Specific association of dynamin-2 with postsynaptic densities"
- "Both dynamin-1 and -2 isoforms were found in the synaptosomal fraction. However, dynamin-2 was clearly found in the purified PSD fraction, whereas dynamin-1 was present at low to undetectable amounts (Fig. 5)."

Fig.6: "Co-expression of PSD proteins"
- "However, triple expression of dynamin-2 with both GKAP1a/SAPAP and Shank1a/ProSAP2 resulted in significant co-localization of the three proteins into clusters that were reminiscent of those formed by overexpressing PSD95 and Shaker K+ channels in COS cells (Fig. 6 and Ref. 53)."
