Annotated paper:Catsburg LA, et al. "Dynamics and nanoscale organization of the postsynaptic endocytic zone at excitatory synapses" Elife. 2022 Jan 24;11:e74387 PMID:35072626
Figure(s):Figures 4-6
Annotation description:Figure 4: Confocal imaging of hippocampal neuronal cultures with co-staining for Homer1c-mCherry and GFP-Itsn1L (ITSN1) show this protein is localized at the postsynapse. Instead of GFP tagging, endogenous ITSN1 was also tagged using CRISPR/Cas-9.

Figure 5: time-lapse experiments on neurons co-expressing Homer1c and fluorophore-tagged ITSN1 showed high association with PSDs.

Figure 6: to dissect the spatial organization of endocytic proteins relative to the clathrin structure at
the endocytic zone (EZ), authors used two-color single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). Halo-CLCa co-transfected with GFP-tagged ITSN1 showed that it was often distributed in smaller patches around and sometimes within the EZ marked by CLCa.
