| Annotation description: | "PI(3)P-containing endosomes were detected throughout neuronal somata and neurites including pre- and postsynaptic compartments immunopositive for the SV-associated protein Synapsin and postsynaptic Homer, respectively (Fig 1A and B). Further analysis by confocal microscopy imaging revealed similar levels of PI(3)P at excitatory synapses marked by the vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (vGLUT1) and at inhibitory synapses identified by the vesicular GABA transporter vGAT (Fig 1C and D). These data show that PI(3)P-containing endosomes are present at both excitatory and inhibitory synapses, consistent with their presumed roles in synapse physiology and neurotransmission." As a control, selective inhibition of VPS34 by the well-established specific small molecule inhibitor VPS34IN1 (Bago et al, 2014, PMID:25177796; Ketel et al, 2016, PMID:26760201) effectively reduced somatic and synaptic PI(3)P to nearly undetectable levels (Figure S1). note; endosomal localization of PI3P was inferred by authors; "In most cell types, endosomes are marked by high levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PI(3)P], a signaling lipid that is crucial for endosome function (Di Paolo & De Camilli, 2006, PMID:17035995; Balla, 2013, PMID:23899561; Raiborg et al, 2013, PMID:23289851)." |
