Annotation description: | Fig.4: "Cadherin-9 Mediates Trans-cellular Adhesion via Cadherins-6 and -10" - "We co-cultured neurons expressing Cdh9-smFPFLAG with neurons expressing Cdh6-smFPHA, Cdh10-smFPMYC, or both Cdh6-smFPHA and Cdh10-smFPMYC and immunostained for epitope tags and the synaptic markers vGLUT1 and PSD95. We observed co-localization of every pairwise combination of cadherins at synapses (Figures 4G-4I). "..."all three cadherins simultaneously co-localize at synaptic sites marked by juxtaposed vGLUT and PSD95 puncta (Figure 4J)." |
