Annotated paper:Loebrich S, et al. "CPG2 Recruits Endophilin B2 to the Cytoskeleton for Activity-Dependent Endocytosis of Synaptic Glutamate Receptors" Curr Biol. 2016 Feb 8;26(3):296-308 PMID:26776730
Figure(s):Fig.5, 6
Annotation description:Fig.5: "CPG2 and EndoB2 Co-localize and Recruit Components of the Endocytic Machinery to F-Actin"
- "Triton X-100 extracted neurons were infected with lentivirus expressing a control construct or the CPG2 knockdown construct [7, 8]. The intensity of clathrin heavy chain immunofluorescence in dendritic spines was significantly reduced when CPG2 was knocked down as compared to control (Figures 5C, left, and 5D)."
- "Similar to the effect of knocking down CPG2, knockdown of EndoB2 using hp62 significantly reduced clathrin heavy chain association with the spine cytoskeleton after Triton X-100 extraction (Figures 5C, right, and 5D). "

Fig.6: "EndoB2 Is Required for Activity-Dependent, but Not Constitutive, Internalization of AMPA- and NMDA-Type Glutamate Receptors"
- "Constitutive internalization of AMPA- and NMDA-type glutamate receptors seemed unaffected by EndoB2 KD (Figures 6A and 6B)."
- "We found a similar result, an almost 3-fold increase in GluA1 internalization in response to picrotoxin (Figure S2). Surprisingly, EndoB2 knockdown resulted in a significant decrease in activity-dependent internalization not only of GluA1 glutamate receptor subunits but also of GluA2 and GluN1 subunits (Figures 6C and 6D)."
