ZBP1 phosphorylation at Ser181 is needed for the proper dendritic arborization of hippocampal neurons. (a) Representative confocal images of cultured hippocampal neurons transfected on DIV8 for 2 days as indicated. Neuron morphology was visualized by co-transfection with mRFP. Scale bar = 50 µm. (b) Total number of dendritic tips (TNDT) of neurons transfected as in (a). The data are expressed as mean ± SEM. ***p < 0.001, compared with pSuper/pEGFP-C1-transfected cells; ### p < 0.001, compared as indicated (Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s post hoc test). Cell images were obtained from two independent culture batches. Number of cells per variant: pSuper/pEGFP-C1 (n = 35), ZBP1sh#1/pEGFP-C1 (n = 36), ZBP1sh#1/pEGFP-ZBP1* (n = 35), ZBP1sh#1/pEGFP-ZBP1*S181A (n = 55), and ZBP1sh#1/pEGFP-ZBP1*S181E (n = 47).
