| Annotation description: | Figure 5: overexpression of deubiquitinating enzyme USP6 (construct described in Fig. 1c) in mouse cortex and hippocampus increased abundance levels for NMDAR subunits (GRIN1/2A/2B) and PSD95 (DLG4) but not AMPARs (GRIA1/2) nor synaptophysin. Figure 5d: overexpressed USP6 is present in synaptosomal and PSD biochemical fractions prepared from mouse cortex. Figure 6: USP6 interacts with NMDA receptors as demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitations in mouse brain lysates. Figure 7: USP6 attenuates NMDA receptor ubiquitination and enhances NMDA receptor stabilization. Finally, authors summarise with a cartoon in Figure 9. |
