Excitatory synaptic targeting of S-SCAM deletion mutants and their effect on dendritic spines. (a) Schematic diagrams of S-SCAM deletion mutants. (b) Full-length expression of various S-SCAM deletion mutants expressed in COS-7 cells. Left panel, immunoblot probed with anti-myc antibody; right panel, Coomassie Blue stained blot. (c) Dendritic spine targeting of S-SCAM deletion mutants. Scale bars, 10 μm (low magnification images) or 5 μm (dendrites). (d) Quantified effect of S-SCAM deletion mutant overexpression on dendritic spine density. n = 42 (Control), 46 (WT), 41 (ΔGK), 41 (ΔWW), 39 (ΔGW), 45 (ΔPDZ5). One-way ANOVA, F(5,248) = 41.86, p < 0.0001, Tukey’s post-hoc test. (e,f) Quantified effect of S-SCAM deletion mutant overexpression on dendritic spine width (e) and length (f). One-way ANOVA, F(5,65) = 25.59, p < 0.0001 (e), F(5,60) = 11.94, p < 0.0001 (f), Tukey’s post-hoc test.
