Fig. 7. Chimeric GluRIIB subunits containing the GluRIIA C-tail are able to recruit pCaMKII.

A Schematic illustrating the intracellular C-tail domains of GluRIIA, GluRIIB, and the chimeric GluRIIB subunit substituted with the GluRIIA C-tail (GluRIIBIIAtail). Experiments were repeated three times independently with similar results. B Schematic and representative images of boutons stained with anti-GluRIIA, -GluRIIAtail, -GluRIIB, -pCaMKII, -CaMKII, and -DLG antibodies at NMJs of wild type and those containing only GluRB receptors in the indicated genotypes: G14 > GluRIIB (IIA/IIB−/−) (w;G14-GAL4,GluRIIASP22/Df(2L)clh4;UAS-GluRIIB/+), G14 > GluRIIBIIAtail (IIA/IIB−/−) (w;G14-GAL4,GluRIIASP22/Df(2L)clh4;UAS-GluRIIBIIAtail/+). Experiments were repeated three times independently with similar results. Note that GluRB receptors containing the GluRIIA C-tail recruit pCaMKII at levels unchanged from the wild type. C Quantification of mean fluorescence intensity of the indicated antibodies in the indicated genotypes normalized to wild-type values (wild type: n = 13; GluRIIA−/−, n = 11, p < 0.0001 for GluRIIA, p < 0.0001 for GluRIIAtail, p < 0.0001 for GluRIIB, p < 0.0001 for pCaMKII, p = 0.9428 for CaMKII, p = 0.0012 for DLG; G14 > GluRIIB: n = 10, p < 0.0001 for GluRIIA, p < 0.0001 for GluRIIAtail, p = 0.6436 for GluRIIB, p < 0.0001 for pCaMKII, p = 0.3599 for CaMKII, p = 0.0054 for DLG; G14 > GluRIIBIIAtail: n = 11, p < 0.0001 for GluRIIA, p = 0.5391 for GluRIIAtail, p = 0.6305 for GluRIIB, p = 0.0303 for pCaMKII, p = 0.9109 for CaMKII, p = 0.0468 for DLG). Repeated measures one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test with a significance value of 0.05. p Value adjusted for multiple comparisons. Error bars indicate ±SEM. Asterisks indicate statistical significance using One-way ANOVA: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001; ns, not significant. n values indicate biologically independent NMJs.
