Figure S5.

SNX27 is recruited to dendritic spines upon cLTP, which is dependent on the CaMKII pathway. (A) Representative confocal images from DIV17 hippocampal neurons expressing mScarlet-SNX27 and eGFP (filler) under conditions of cLTP or HBS control (mock). Images of live neurons were captured before cLTP (baseline); during cLTP; and at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min after the cLTP stimulus. Representative images of baseline, t = 10, and t = 30 are shown. Intensity presented in the fire LUT color scheme. Scale bar, 2.5 µm. (B) The endpoint of the experiment (30 min) was used to measure the cLTP-dependent increase in dendritic spine width. To calculate the increase in spine size, the final spine width was normalized to the baseline width for each spine. Mock: 1.024 ± 0.025, N = 98 spines across 15 cells; cLTP: 1.498 ± 0.056, N = 108 spines across 15 cells. Statistical significance was determined using unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test, ****P < 0.001. Error bars are SEM. (C) The mean intensity of mScarlet-SNX27 was measured in the spines that remained in the same plane at each time point following cLTP (or mock) and normalized to the baseline for each individual spine. Mock: N = 98 spines across 15 cells (baseline: 1,000, cLTP: 0.989 ± 0.023, 0: 1.037 ± 0.023, 5: 1.037 ± 0.025, 10: 0.991 ± 0.028, 15: 1.032 ± 0.027, 20: 1.022 ± 0.031, 25: 1.015 ± 0.029, 30: 1.017 ± 0.028); cLTP: N = 108 spines across 15 cells (baseline: 1,000, cLTP: 1.117 ± 0.034, 0: 1.252 ± 0.057, 5: 1.347 ± 0.070, 10: 1.506 ± 0.073, 15: 1.523 ± 0.065, 20: 1.566 ± 0.066, 25: 1.651 ± 0.073, 30: 1.673 ± 0.064). Two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparison test was used to determine statistical significance, **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.001. Error bars are SEM. (D) The number of puncta containing mScarlet-SNX27 in 30 µm of dendritic spines at the indicated time points was quantified for the cLTP and mock conditions and normalized to the baseline for each dendrite. Mock: N = 15 dendrites (baseline: 1,000, 10: 1.020 ± 0.025, 30: 1.079 ± 0.028); cLTP: N = 15 dendrites (baseline: 1,000, 10: 1.312 ± 0.049, 30: 1.544 ± 0.074). Three independent experiments. Two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparison test was used to determine statistical significance, ****P <0.001. Error bars are SEM. (E) DIV16 hippocampal neurons were co-transfected with mScarlet-SNX27 and either an empty pRK5 vector or pRK5-HA-CaMKII-T286D. 24 h later, neurons were fixed, permeabilized, and incubated with an anti-HA antibody. The mean intensity of mScarlet-SNX27 was measured in the dendritic spines present in the first 30 μm of secondary dendrites and normalized to mScarlet-SNX27 mean intensity in the dendritic shaft. Ctrl: 0.775 ± 0.035, N = 30 neurons; CaMKII-T286D: 0.909 ± 0.041, N = 30 neurons. Statistical significance was determined using unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test, *P < 0.05. Error bars are SEM. (F) Same as E, but the number of puncta containing mScarlet-SNX27 in 30 µm of dendritic spines was quantified. Ctrl: 0.257 ± 0.016, N = 30 neurons; CaMKII-T286D: 0.365 ± 0.018, N = 30 neurons. Statistical significance was determined using unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test, ****P < 0.001. Error bars are SEM. DIV, days in vitro.
