| Annotation description: | Preembedding immuno-EM reveals the presence of immunoreactivityfor MARCKS in some axons and axon terminals in the cingulate cortex. MARCKS is myristoylated and interacts additionally via a cluster of basic residues through electrostatic interactions with the plasma membrane (myristoyl-electrostatic switch). Therefore the term "anchored component of the presynaptic PM" was chosen. Phosphorylation of MARCKS induces translocation of the protein to the cytosol (Reference 1). MARCKS is detected both, in membrane and soluble fractions (Reference 2). An affinity purified antibody against rat MARCKS was generated in the study and the specificity of the antibody was confirmed by Western Blot (Fig. 1). No KO-control. 21/8/2017 Pim - myristoylation used to infer 'anchored component of presynaptic membrane (GO:0099026)' |

| Additional literature: | In isolated synaptosomes, phosphorylation of MARCKS by PKC in response to stimulation by phorbol esters or depolarization-induced Ca2+-influx, induces a translocation of MARCKS from the membrane to the cytosol (Fig.1-3). @ PMID:2928330 In subcellular fractionation experiments of rat brain, MARCKS was enriched in soluble fractions (S3 and LS2), but also present in most membrane fractions, however was not detected in the SV fraction (Fig.5). @ PMID:8557647 |
