δ-Catenin S447A stimulates dendrite branching more than wild type. A, hippocampal neurons (DIV7) were co-transfected with GFP and either empty vector, wild type δ-catenin, or mutant δ-catenin-S447A and imaged by confocal microscopy after 5 days. B, Sholl analysis. The number of dendrite branches crossing concentric circles around the cell body was manually counted (mean ± S.E., n = 33 to 38). Asterisks indicate significance of two-way analysis of variance comparing δ-catenin wt and S447A: *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001.
