- Description
- PA1-660 detects dynamin I (Dyn1) from rat tissues. PA1-660 has been successfully used in Western blot and immunocytochemical procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~100 kDa protein representing Dyn1 from rat whole brain extract. PA1-660 immunizing peptide corresponds to amino acid residues 633-647 from rat Dyn1. This sequence is completely conserved between rat, mouse, and human Dyn1. PA1-660 immunizing peptide (Cat. # PEP-042) is available for use in neutralization and control experiments.

- Figure 5 DNM1a Ftfl is defective in higher order homo-oligomerization. (A) Left panel , protein extract from P14 whole brain tissue of homozygous fitful and wildtype littermates incubated with 0 or 20mM EDC cross-linker and hybridized with anti-dynamin-1 antibody. Monomers migrate at 100kD, dimers at 200kD and the tetramers are at 400kD. This assay was performed over three separate times with different samples each time; a representative blot with corresponding percentages is shown. Mean densities (+- 1SD) from all experiments are: wildtype 28.75+-8.24 (monomer), 29.67+-13.9 (dimer), 43.9+-8.5 (tetramer); mutant 44+-10.7 (monomer), 39.5+-12.2 (dimer), 23+-13.5 (tetramer) Right panel , COS-7 cells transfected with DNM1-GFP constructs show differences in dimerization. (B) COS-7 cells doubly transfected with DNM1-GFP and DNM1-HA constructs show isoform heterodimerization. Protein extracts from cells were incubated with 0 or 20mM EDC and analyzed by Western blot. Blots were hybridized with anti-GFP antibody, stripped of antibody and then re-hybridized with anti-HA antibody in order to ascertain the presence of each construct in the dimers. A representative blot hybridized with anti-GFP antibody is shown.

- Figure 6 Selective dynamin 1 inhibition through siRNA impairs both synaptic plasticity and associative memory. A , siRNA specific for murine dynamin 1 reduces protein expression. An example of western blot showing that Penetratin 1- conjugated dynamin 1 siRNA reduces protein expression. Cells are lysed 48 hours after the treatment with siRNA. Dynamin 1 is detected using a rabbit polyclonal anti-dynamin1 antibody. Penetratin 1- conjugated Control siRNA, that does not affect dynamin 1 expression, does not change protein levels. n = 3 for each group. B , Penetratin 1- conjugated dynamin 1 siRNA (open bars) (80 nM in a final volume of 1.5 mul over 1 minute, bilateral injections twice a day for 3 days) impairs contextual fear memory compared to control siRNA infused mice (grey bars) (Mann-Whitney U 150, 126 = 21.00, p = 0.0089). Moreover, control siRNA infused mice show similar amount of freezing as vehicle-infused animals (black bars). C , Penetratin 1- conjugated dynamin 1 siRNA (open bars) does not modify cued fear memory compared to Penetratin 1- conjugated Control siRNA (grey bars) (Mann-Whitney U 99, 90 = 44.50, p = 1.00) in mice previously tested for contextual fear conditioning at 24 hours after the shock. D , Bilateral infusions of Penetratin 1- conjugated dynamin 1 siRNA (open triangles) (80 nM in a final volume of 1.5 mul over 1 minute, repeated 2 times a day for three days) into dorsal hippocampi decrease LTP compared to Penetratin 1- conjugated Control siRNA treatment

- Figure 4 Developmental expression patterns of dynamin-1 isoforms. (A) mRNA expression levels of Dnm1 isoforms during development in wildtype and mutant animals. The variant isoform region is amplified with common primers and the two transcripts are distinguished by a diagnostic Hph I restriction enzyme site specific for the b isoform. The two bands representing the Dnm1b transcript cDNA run as one band and lower on the gel than the Dnm1a transcript cDNA. Note that the 1a isoform becomes increasingly upregulated during development, while the b isoform is down regulated, however this ratio of a to b transcripts is skewed in the mutant animals. Below the gel is a schematic outlining the basis of the assay. Additional replicates are shown in Figure S2 . (B) Left , quantification of Dnm1b mRNA expression as assayed by PCR and visualized on agarose gels, relative to total Dnm1 mRNA in whole brain of E17.5, P0, and P14 wildtype and mutant brains. Data are expressed as the mean (+- SEM) relative proportion of Dnm1b to Dnm1 mRNA in the total cleaved PCR product. *P
