Annotated paper:Vessey JP, et al. "Dendritic localization of the translational repressor Pumilio 2 and its contribution to dendritic stress granules" J Neurosci. 2006 Jun 14;26(24):6496-508 PMID:16775137
Figure(s):Figure 1c, 3b
Annotation description:Figure 1c: Pum2 localizes within the dendritic compartment of mature hippocampal neuronal cultures.

Figure 3b: "Pum2 is found in the dendritic shaft within close proximity of the base of dendritic spines. Immunostaining for Pum2 (red) and the postsynaptic marker PSD95 (green) demonstrates close apposition of PSD95 puncta and Pum2 particles"

Figure 4b: "Dendritic Pum2 puncta contain mRNA. Immunostaining for Pum2 (green) was combined with FISH using an oligo-dT probe to detect mRNA. Pum2-containing puncta showed strong colocalization with mRNA(red). Some Pum2 puncta did not contain mRNA(arrows),whereas all mRNA contained Pum2(arrowheads)."
