Figure(s):Figure 1, 2, 5
Annotation description:Figure 1: InSyn1 localization to the iPSD is DGC dependent. InSyn1-HA localization after αDG (alpha-dystroglycan) or gephyrin CRISPR depletion. Neurons were depleted of αDG or gephyrin, followed by AAV:InSyn1-HA transduction 3 days before fixation.

Figure 2: The N-terminus of InSyn1 is essential for its localization and interaction with DGC (dystroglycan complex) components.

Figure 5: Altered distribution of GABAAR clustering in InSyn1 KO neurons. Authors conclude that "InSyn1 has a subunit-specific effect on GABAARs distribution in hippocampal neurons"
