Figure 3.

Dendritic transport of ID3- and ID4-chimeric mRNAs in stimulated neurons. (A–D) Sympathetic neurons in culture were K+ depolarized before RNA microinjection. Under these conditions, ID3 (A and B)- and ID4 (C and D)-chimeric α-tubulin mRNAs were delivered to distal dendrites. Number of cells analyzed: (A and B) 16 neurons, 55 dendrites; (C and D) 18 neurons, 60 dendrites. Bar, 50 µm. (E) Quantitative analysis. One-way ANOVA, Dunnett’s post hoc analysis (comparison of RNA levels in the basal, nonstimulated state [Fig. 2] with RNA levels after K+ depolarization): ID3-chimeric α-tubulin mRNA (A and B), P < 0.001 for all interval points; ID4-chimeric α-tubulin mRNA (C and D), P < 0.001 for all interval points. Error bars indicate SEM.
