Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5 | Protein ticker tape recordings of cFos activation in neurons. a, Image of a cultured neuron expressing lentiviral CMV::iPAK4 (90%) and CMV::eGFP- iPAK4 (10%). Scale bar, 50 μm. b, Representative patch-clamp recordings in neurons with or without an iPAK4 fiber. Spikes were evoked by a current injection of 100 pA. c, There were no significant differences between neurons with or without fibers in membrane resistance (404 ± 73 MΩ versus 339 ± 43 MΩ, P = 0.43), membrane capacitance (63 ± 6 pF versus 67 ± 9 pF, P = 0.67), resting potential (−61.2 ± 1.2 mV versus −60.2 ± 0.8 mV, P = 0.48) or rheobase (89 ± 12 pA versus 109 ± 13 pA, P = 0.27) (n = 11 neurons with fibers, 12 neurons without). Error bars show mean ± s.e.m. Two-sided Student’s t-test was employed for data comparison. d, Fiber in a neuron expressing lentiviral CMV::iPAK4 (90%) and cFos::eGFP-iPAK4 (10%). The top image shows the fiber after a first PMA addition;
Article Snippet: All iPAK4 constructs were cloned into a second-generation lentiviral backbone (Addgene, 136636) with either a cytomegalovirus (CMV) or a cFos promoter (Addgene, 47907) using standard Gibson assembly36.
