Abstract

Shank proteins are scaffolding proteins in the postsynaptic density of excitatory synapses in the mammalian brain. In situ hybridization revealed that Shank1/SSTRIP and Shank2/ProSAP1 mRNAs are widely expressed early in postnatal brain development whereas Shank3/ProSAP2 expression increases during postnatal development especially in the cerebellum and thalamus. Shank1 and Shank3 (but not Shank2) mRNAs are present in the molecular layers of the hippocampus, consistent with a dendritic transcript localization. Shank1 and Shank2 transcripts are detectable in the dendritic fields of Purkinje cells, whereas Shank3 mRNA is restricted to cerebellar granule cells. The appearance of dendritic Shank mRNAs in cerebellar Purkinje cells coincides with the onset of dendrite formation. Expression of reporter transcripts in hippocampal neurons identifies a 200-nucleotide dendritic targeting element (DTE) in the Shank1 mRNA. The widespread presence of Shank mRNAs in dendrites suggests a role for local synthesis of Shanks in response to stimuli that induce alterations in synaptic morphology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
