Abstract excerpt
We explored the relationship between regulation of the spine actin cytoskeleton, spine morphogenesis, and synapse formation by manipulating expression of the actin binding protein NrbI and its deletion mutants. In pyramidal neurons of cultured rat hippocampal slices, NrbI is concentrated in dendritic spines by binding to the actin cytoskeleton. Expression of one NrbI deletion mutant, containing the actin binding...
