Differential expression of two novel Munc13 proteins in rat brain
Open accessAbstract
Munc13-1, a mammalian homologue of Caenorhabditis elegans unc-13p, is a presynaptic phorbol ester receptor that enhances neurotransmitter release. In the present study we analysed the regional, cellular and subcellular expression patterns in rat of two novel Munc13 proteins, Munc13-2 and Munc13-3. We demonstrate by hybridization in situ that Munc13-1 mRNA is expressed throughout the brain, whereas Munc13-2 mRNA is preferentially present in rostral brain regions, and Munc13-3 mRNA in caudal areas. In an analysis of subcellular brain fractions with isoform-specific antibodies, we show that the novel Munc13 proteins are enriched in synapses. Immunocytochemical examination of rat cerebellar sections indicates that Munc13-3, like Munc13-1, is concentrated in presynaptic terminals. Our results characterize Munc13 proteins as a family of neuron-specific, synaptic molecules that bind to syntaxin, an essential mediator of neurotransmitter release. Munc13-2 and Munc13-3 are expressed in a complementary fashion and might act in concert with Munc13-1 to modulate neurotransmitter release.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Furthermore, we discovered that forskolin slightly reduced the distance between CaV2.1 (P/Q-type) Ca2+ channels and Munc13-1, an essential vesicle priming protein and putative marker of primed vesicles [14,40–45].”

In the citing paper
“After Munc13-1, the second-most abundant isoform expressed at MFB synapses is bMunc13-2 [40,42,77].”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“In this context, it is interesting that forskolin changes only the localization of Munc13-1 but not bMunc13-2, which lacks C2A domain and is thought to prime vesicles independently of RIM [40,96].”

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.
