Annotation description:Background: Pin 1, or peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase), isomerizes phospho-Serine/Threonine-Proline motifs. It does not act on protein ubiquitination, but may do so in an indirect manner via changes in protein conformation that makes Ubi-sites available for Ubi-ligases.

Fig.4: PIN1 co-precipitates with Shank3 from synaptosomal preps. KD of PIN1 results in increased Shank3 ubiquitination (mouse, C57/BL6 cortical neurons at 21 DIV, shRNA)
Fig.5 KD of PIN1 results in loss of Shank3 from synapses (mouse, C57/BL6 cortical neurons at 21 DIV, shRNA)
Fig.6 Inhibition of PIN1 (PiB antagonist) changes the protein turnover of Shank3 and PSD-95 upon NMDAR stimulation (synaptic receptors). This is measured in cultured neurons, not synapses specifically; the NMDAR-stimulation is synaptic though.
