摘要
En 中文
Postsynaptic density (PSD) fractions were isolated from rat forebrain and sonicated. Pellets from sonicated samples examined by electron microscopy revealed particles with an electron density similar to PSDs that appeared to be fragments of PSDs. Immuno-gold labeling confirmed that some of these contained PSD-95 and/or SynGAP. Biochemical analysis of supernatant and pellet fractions from sonicated samples showed almost complete recovery of several major PSD components (SynGAP, PSD-95, Shank3, Homer and Glutamate receptors) in the pellet, while the supernatant contained known contaminants of PSD fractions, such as glial acidic fibrillary protein and neurofilament protein, as well as actin and alpha-actinin, indicating susceptibility of these cytoskeletal elements to mechanical disruption. Size distributions of particulate material in control and sonicated samples were clearly different, with particles in the 40-90 nm range observed only in sonicated samples. Fragmentation of the PSD into subcomplexes containing major constituents suggests a patchwork structure consisting of weakly bound modules, that can be readily dissociated from each other through mechanical disruption. Modular organization and weak association between modules would endow the PSD with lateral structural flexibility.
