Annotated paper:Lagerlof O, et al. "O-GlcNAc transferase regulates excitatory synapse maturity" Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2017 Feb 14;114(7):1684-1689 PMID:28143929
Figure(s):Figs. 2 and 3
Annotation description:Fig. 2 shows that OGT regulates the synaptic expression of AMPA receptors by immunoblot analysis of total and surface-expressed of AMPA receptor subunits. GluA2 and GluA3 are significantly downregulated in OGT KO animals.
Fig. 3 shows that deletion (Immuno-cytochemistry) of OGT leads to fewer surface GluA2 clusters.

15/02/2021 Dnyanada: The surface expression of GluA2 and GluA3 subunit was reduced in mature OGT KO cortical neurons. Figure 4 and 5 demonstrate a reduction in the number of mature spines in OGT KO neurons. However, as the paper does not causally (and chronologically) link these two effects, a separate annotation for the term "regulation of synapse maturation" was made (SynGO ID: 4525).
