Annotation description:Fig.6: "PICK1 is required for clustering AMPARs at EZs via competitive binding of GluA2 and AP2"
- " Under basal conditions, we detected a proportion of surface GluA2 puncta colocalizing with dsRed-clathrin clusters, which was significantly increased 2 min after NMDAR stimulation, strongly suggesting a recruitment of GluA2-containing AMPARs to CCPs (Fig. 6 B). At 2 min after stimulation, AMPARs had not yet internalized. This was blocked by PICK1 shRNA, indicating that PICK1 is required for this process."

Fig.7: "PICK1-AP2 interaction is required for AMPAR endocytosis after NMDAR activation"
- "Under basal conditions, PICK1 knockdown caused an increase in surface GluA2, consistent with previous studies (Sossa et al., 2006; Citri et al., 2010; Rocca et al., 2013). Sh-resistant WT-PICK1 fully rescued surface GluA2 levels, but D189A-PICK1 did not (Fig. 7 A). This indicates that the interaction between PICK1 and AP2 is required for constitutive AMPAR endocytosis"
- "In GFP-expressing control neurons, NMDA caused a significant decrease in surface GluA2, which was blocked by PICK1 shRNA (Fig. 7 B). Whereas sh-resistant WT-PICK1 rescued the phenotype, DDAA-PICK1 did not, indicating that PICK1-AP2 interactions are required for NMDA-stimulated AMPAR internalization. "
- "neither PICK1 knockdown nor molecular replacement with DDAA-PICK1 affected transferrin uptake, indicating that PICK1 is not involved in transferrin receptor endocytosis"
