nervous system
N |
• mice exhibit normal brain weight relative to wild-type controls; no significant changes in cerebral cortex thickness or neuron intensity are observed
|
• immunohistochemistry revealed that signals of polyglutamylated tubulins are markedly reduced in layer I but remain in the apical dendrites of cortical neurons in layer II/III
|
• brain lysates show a significant reduction in polyglutamylated alpha-tubulins
• however, total amounts of both alpha- and beta-tubulins and other post-translational modifications (tubulin tyrosination and acetylation), are normal
