Figure Lengend Snippet: PRRT1 co-localizes with AMPARs and resides at extrasynaptic sites on endosomes. (A) Representative confocal images of dissociated hippocampal cultures stained for PRRT1, dendritic marker MAP2 and GluA1. Also shown is an overlay of the three images (merge). PRRT1 (green) co-localizes with GluA1 (red) in the dendrite (gray) at multiple puncta which appear as yellow in the overlay. White arrows in this and subsequent panels point to prominent areas of co-localization. (B) PRRT1 (green) does not co-localize well with the excitatory pre-synaptic marker VGLUT1 (red). (C) PRRT1 (green) shows robust co-localization with TfR-containing endosomes, labeled with transfected TfR-mCherry (red) as shown in left panels. Co-localization of PRRT1 (green), TfR-mCherry (red) and GluA1 (cyan) is shown in the right panels. (D) PRRT1 (green) shows partial co-localization with the early endosome marker EEA1 (red). (E) There is minimal co-localization of PRRT1 (green) with the late endosome marker Rab7 (red). (F) The left bar graph shows quantification of the percentage co-localization of synaptic and endosomal markers (X) with PRRT1. Right bar graph shows quantification of the percentage co-localization of PRRT1 with synaptic and endosomal markers (X). In all panels, bar graphs represent means ± SEM. The calibration bar equals 5 μm. (G) Immunoblots of total or surface fraction following surface biotinylation in hippocampal cultures. GluA1 and PRRT1 are present in surface fraction but not β-tubulin. (H) Immunoblots of total or surface fraction following surface biotinylation in acute hippocampal slices. Different amounts of total protein used are indicated. GluA1 and PRRT1 are present in surface fraction but not β-tubulin.
