Annotation description:Fig.7: "Sept7 Localization and Mobility Is Regulated by TAOK2 Mediated Phosphorylation"
- "We next tested whether phosphorylation of Sept7 at T426 changed its dynamics of assembly. By measuring the fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, we found that GFP-tagged Sept7 T426D enriched at the spines was more stable than the phosphomutant Sept7 T426A that accumulated at the base of the dendritic spine."
- "In neurons transfected with phosphomimetic or wild-type Sept7 along with the synaptic scaffolding protein PSD95, we observed much greater co-localization of Sept7T426D with PSD95 in the spine head as compared to Sept7WT (Figures 7G and 7H). "

Fig.8: "Phosphorylated Sept7 Interacts with PSD95 and Restricts Its Mobility"
- "Using the pSept7 (T426) antibody, we found that phosphorylated Sept7 co-immunoprecipitated with PSD95 from mouse brain lysates, indicating that phosphorylated Sept7 and PSD95 interact in vivo (Figure S7E)"
- "Moreover, endogenous PSD95 from the brain lysate was pulled down by Sept7-CWT that was incubated with wild-type TAOK2, but not the kinase-dead mutant, whereas mutation of T426 to alanine completely abolished the interaction between Sept7 C-terminal tail and PSD95(Figures 8A,S7F, and S7G)."
