    Figure 4. Decreased expression of Oprm1 mRNA and protein with icKO. (A) Quantitative analysis of Oprm1 mRNA expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), CA1-CA2 areas and dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus, caudate putamen (CPu), nucleus accumbens (NAc), and the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Two-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of genotype [F (1, 24) = 519.3, p < 0.001]. A Bonferroni post hoc test showed that Oprm1 icKO mice expressed significantly less Oprm1 mRNA in all brain regions of interest. n = 3 mice per group; 2 sections per mouse; 15 regions of interest (ROI) per data point. ROI was defined by a 15 µm circle over a field that contained at least one green-turquoise (Fast Green; labeling Aldh1 mRNA) punctum within an astrocyte, as seen in B. (B) Co-localization of Oprm1 mRNA expression (red dots) surrounding randomly selected Aldh1l1 mRNA expression loci (green-turquoise dots). The radius of the black circle (ROI) is 15 µm (707 µm2). Pixels for red (Fast Red) Oprm1 mRNA staining were counted within the ROI. (C,D) Representative images of sections counterstained with 50% Gill’s hematoxylin 1 to disclose tissue morphology, i.e., the cell nuclei (purple). The black circle denotes the ROI shown in B. (E,F) Quantitative analysis of Western blots revealed significantly decreased expression of astrocytic <t>MOR1</t> in Oprm1 icKO mice (Student’s t test; t = 23.22, p < 0.0001). n = 4 mice per group; Error bars indicate SEM. *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.

    Molecular and phenotypic analyses of the <t>MOR1-3xYPet</t> constructs in the wild-type (Col-0) background and in the mor1-6 and mor1-23 mutant backgrounds. (A) Structure of the Arabidopsis MOR1 genomic sequence. Three MOR1 mutant alleles are shown: mor1-1 (C1626T), mor1-6 (G7127A), and mor1-23 (SALK_032056). Black boxes represent exons, horizontal lines represent introns, and white boxes represent 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs). qPCR primers were designed to amplify a region spanning exons 3 and 4 (marked in blue). (B) The MOR1 protein contains five TOG domains and a conserved C-terminal R4 domain. Mutant proteins include mor1-1 L174F , mor1-6 (splice mutation before amino acid 869), and mor1- 23 (T-DNA insertion). The linker between TOG1 and TOG2 was used as the antigen for creating the MOR1 antibody . Two C-terminal fusion proteins were generated: MOR1-3xYPet (three copies of YPet attached to MOR1), and mor1-1-YPet (one copy of YPet attached to mor1-1 L174F ). (C) RT-PCR analysis of mor1-23 and mor1-6 mutant backgrounds. For mor1-23 , primers failed to amplify through the 3xYPet sequence or the mor1-23 T-DNA insertion. For mor1-6 , blue arrows indicate wild-type cDNA amplicons when introns are correctly spliced, and magenta arrows indicate amplicons longer than wild-type cDNA but shorter than genomic DNA due to a retained intron. Forward and reverse primer binding sites are indicated below each gel. Exon- intron structures are confirmed by sequencing and marked with arrows corresponding to the amplicons. The premature stop codon within the intron is marked red. (D) RT-qPCR and digital PCR (dPCR) analysis of MOR1 transcript levels when MOR1-3xYPet was expressed in Col-0, mor1-23 , and mor1-6 backgrounds. Primers bind exons 3 and 4 as shown in (A) . Bars and error bars represent mean values of 3 technical replicates ± SE. (E) Western blot analysis of MOR1 proteins in seedling protein extracts. The affinity-purified MOR1 polyclonal antibody labelled 218 kDa bands (endogenous MOR1 protein), 300 kDa bands (MOR1-3xYPet), and bands with lower molecular weights (approx. 125 and 160 kDa). (F) Representative images showing root tip morphologies of 7-day old seedlings including wild- type Col-0, homozygous mor1-23 , heterozygous mor1-6 , and MOR1-3xYPet expressed in Col-0, mor1-23 , and mor1-6 backgrounds. Scale bar represents 0.5 mm. Sample sizes: 14-16 seedlings. (G) Mean root length (in cm) of genotypes shown in F . Bars and error bars represent mean ± SD. Kruskal-Wallis p = 3.69E-9. Letters represent statistical differences between genotypes revealed by Dunn’s test. (H) Confocal micrographs of MOR1-3xYPet in wild-type, mor1-23 , and mor1-6 backgrounds, as seen in etiolated hypocotyl cells. MOR1-3xYPet is more tightly localized to microtubule tips in the mor1-23 and mor1-6 backgrounds while distributed along the microtubule lattice in the wild- type background. Scale bars represent 10 μm.

    a (Left) Bright-field image of a horizontal section through the brain of a rat, illustrating two examples of Py-CFs maintained in the brain, overlaid with a reverse-contrast fluorescent image of the section just above that was stained for markers (color key in figure) of cell nuclei (DAPI), blood brain permeability marker (IgG), and striosomes <t>(MOR1).</t> The Py-CFs were unable to remain in the thinner 25 μm slices typically used for immunohistochemical staining, and therefore sections were made thicker (100 μm) in some sections (sectioning schedule shown in a, right). Enhanced IgG staining is apparent just around the Py-CFs, confirming that the devices were not displaced during brain cutting. Blood vessels were perforated at the surface of the brain during insertion of the CFET array in order to provide staining along the CFET insertion track and to validate that the location of the Py-CFs remained fixed in the tissue section. b Fluorescence image of a MOR1-immunostained 100 μm thick section with embedded Py-CFs (black lines).

    Panel A : Control (non-transfected)(C), stable vector control (VC) and <t>MOR1</t> overexpressing (O/E) H358 cell lines were generated, cell lysates obtained and immunoblotted with EMT markers anti-vimentin (a), anti-Snail (b), anti-Slug (c), anti-claudin-1 (d), anti-ZO-1 (e), anti-MOR (f) and anti-actin (g) antibodies. An increase in vimentin, Snail and Slug expression and a decrease in claudin-1 and ZO-1 expression suggest an epithelial mesenchymal transition. Panel B : Graphical quantitation of immunoreactivity of experiments performed described in Panel A with n = 3 independent experiments per condition. An asterisk (*) indicates a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) from control with error bars = standard deviation. Panel C : H358 human NSCLC cells were either untreated, treated with 100 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (EGF), 100 nM DAMGO, morphine or fentanyl or 100 ng/ml insulin growth factor (IGF) for 96 hours, cell lysates obtained and immunoblotted with EMT markers anti-vimentin (a), anti-Snail (b), anti-Slug (c), anti-claudin-1 (d), anti-ZO-1 (e), anti-MOR (f) and anti-actin (g) antibodies. A decrease in vimentin, Snail and Slug expression and an increase in claudin-1 and ZO-1 expression suggest inhibition of epithelial mesenchymal transition. Panel D : Control shRNA or MOR shRNA H358 cell lines were generated, cell lysates obtained and immunoblotted with EMT markers anti-vimentin (a), anti-Snail (b), anti-Slug (c), anti-claudin-1 (d), anti-ZO-1 (e), anti-MOR (f) and anti-actin (g) antibodies.

Panel D : Control shRNA or MOR shRNA H358 cell lines were generated, cell lysates obtained and immunoblotted with EMT markers anti-vimentin (a), anti-Snail (b), anti-Slug (c), anti-claudin-1 (d), anti-ZO-1 (e), anti-MOR (f) and anti-actin (g) antibodies. An increase in vimentin, Snail and Slug expression and a decrease in claudin-1 and ZO-1 expression suggest an epithelial mesenchymal transition.

    Molecular and phenotypic analyses of the MOR1-3xYPet constructs in the wild-type (Col-0) background and in the mor1-6 and mor1-23 mutant backgrounds. (A) Structure of the Arabidopsis MOR1 genomic sequence. Three MOR1 mutant alleles are shown: mor1-1 (C1626T), mor1-6 (G7127A), and mor1-23 (SALK_032056). Black boxes represent exons, horizontal lines represent introns, and white boxes represent 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs). qPCR primers were designed to amplify a region spanning exons 3 and 4 (marked in blue). (B) The MOR1 protein contains five TOG domains and a conserved C-terminal R4 domain. Mutant proteins include mor1-1 L174F , mor1-6 (splice mutation before amino acid 869), and mor1- 23 (T-DNA insertion). The linker between TOG1 and TOG2 was used as the antigen for creating the MOR1 antibody . Two C-terminal fusion proteins were generated: MOR1-3xYPet (three copies of YPet attached to MOR1), and mor1-1-YPet (one copy of YPet attached to mor1-1 L174F ). (C) RT-PCR analysis of mor1-23 and mor1-6 mutant backgrounds. For mor1-23 , primers failed to amplify through the 3xYPet sequence or the mor1-23 T-DNA insertion. For mor1-6 , blue arrows indicate wild-type cDNA amplicons when introns are correctly spliced, and magenta arrows indicate amplicons longer than wild-type cDNA but shorter than genomic DNA due to a retained intron. Forward and reverse primer binding sites are indicated below each gel. Exon- intron structures are confirmed by sequencing and marked with arrows corresponding to the amplicons. The premature stop codon within the intron is marked red. (D) RT-qPCR and digital PCR (dPCR) analysis of MOR1 transcript levels when MOR1-3xYPet was expressed in Col-0, mor1-23 , and mor1-6 backgrounds. Primers bind exons 3 and 4 as shown in (A) . Bars and error bars represent mean values of 3 technical replicates ± SE. (E) Western blot analysis of MOR1 proteins in seedling protein extracts. The affinity-purified MOR1 polyclonal antibody labelled 218 kDa bands (endogenous MOR1 protein), 300 kDa bands (MOR1-3xYPet), and bands with lower molecular weights (approx. 125 and 160 kDa). (F) Representative images showing root tip morphologies of 7-day old seedlings including wild- type Col-0, homozygous mor1-23 , heterozygous mor1-6 , and MOR1-3xYPet expressed in Col-0, mor1-23 , and mor1-6 backgrounds. Scale bar represents 0.5 mm. Sample sizes: 14-16 seedlings. (G) Mean root length (in cm) of genotypes shown in F . Bars and error bars represent mean ± SD. Kruskal-Wallis p = 3.69E-9. Letters represent statistical differences between genotypes revealed by Dunn’s test. (H) Confocal micrographs of MOR1-3xYPet in wild-type, mor1-23 , and mor1-6 backgrounds, as seen in etiolated hypocotyl cells. MOR1-3xYPet is more tightly localized to microtubule tips in the mor1-23 and mor1-6 backgrounds while distributed along the microtubule lattice in the wild- type background. Scale bars represent 10 μm.

Image is a merged stack of z-slices taken every 0.5 μm. (C) A cross-section of the root elongation zone showing trichoblasts (t), atrichoblasts (a), cortex (c), and endodermal (e) cells. (D) Elongating root hairs. The image is a cortical slice of the root hair. The image is a merged stack of z-slices taken every 0.2 μm. (E) Mature root hairs. The image is a cortical slice of the root hair. The image is a merged stack of z-slices taken every 0.2 μm. (F) Petiole epidermal cells. The image is a merged stack of z-slices taken every 0.5 μm. (G) Etiolated epidermal hypocotyl cells. The image is a merged stack of z-slices taken every 0.5 μm. (H) Pavement cells (PC) and guard cells (GC) of cotyledons. The image is a merged stack of z- slices taken every 0.5 μm. (I-L) MOR1 is associated with microtubules throughout the cell cycle. (I) During pre-prophase, MOR1-3xYPet localizes to microtubules at the preprophase band (PPB, arrows) and around the nuclear envelope as seen in medial sections of a lateral root cap cell. Scale bar represents 10 μm. (J) MOR1-3xYPet localizes to microtubules from pre-prophase to late anaphase in dividing root tip cells. Each image shows two cells at different stages of mitosis: the top cell progressed from pre-prophase (PP) to anaphase (An), while the bottom cell progressed from metaphase (M) to late anaphase (LAn). MOR1-3xYPet localizes to microtubules at the PPB (arrows) and around the nuclear envelope during pre-prophase, and re-localizes to spindle microtubules. Scale bar represents 10 μm. See Supplementary Movie S5. (K) During telophase, MOR1-3xYPet localizes to the phragmoplast at microtubule plus ends and in microtubule-free domains as seen in root tip cells. Images show two cells at early and late stages of telophase. The middle of the phragmoplast is the newly formed cell plate that excludes microtubules, indicated by a decrease in mRFP-TUB6 signal. The increase in MOR1-3xYPet fluorescence intensity at the middle of the phragmoplast suggests an accumulation of MOR1-3xYPet at microtubule plus ends.

    MOR1 displays a stronger association to the microtubule plus end than the lattice. Seedlings Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments were used to measure MOR1 dynamics within a circular region of interest (ROI, yellow circle) in etiolated hypocotyl cells of the following seedlings: (A) MOR1-3xYPet expressed in the mor1-23 background, (B) MOR1-3xYPet expressed in the wild-type Col-0 background, and (C) GFP- CLASP expressed in the clasp-1 background as a control for lattice-bound proteins. Scale bars represent 5 µm. (D) After subtracting the background signal (F background ), the ratio of fluorescence intensity within the ROI (F ROI ) to another unbleached region in the same cell (F reference ) is used to calculate the mobile fraction (F m ) and the off-rate (k off ) of fluorescent-tagged proteins from microtubules.

    MOR1 turnover at the plus end is tightly coupled to MOR1 velocity and microtubule growth. (A) CRISPR/Cas9 generated a single base pair insertion (in red) in exon 6 of the Arabidopsis CLASP gene, resulting in a frameshift and a premature stop codon (*). (B-G) Microtubule growth is correlated with MOR1 turnover under various experimental conditions. Time projection over 20 seconds taken in etiolated hypocotyl cells expressing: (B) MOR1-3xYPet measured at 21°C as the control, (C) MOR1-3xYPet under taxol treatment, and (D) MOR1-3xYPet in the CRISPR clasp background. Scale bars represent 5 µm. All seedlings were also in the mor1-23 mutant background. (E) FRAP data of MOR1-3xYPet from control and taxol-treated cells. (F) FRAP data of MOR1-3xYPet from control and CRISPR clasp cells. (G) MOR1 mobile fraction is positively correlated with MOR1 velocity. Pearson R 2 = 0.79, p = 0.018.

    A sidewinder model of MOR1’s polymerase activity and finite processivity at the microtubule plus end. (A) MOR1 C-terminus binds the microtubule lattice. TOG domains recruit free tubulin dimers. (B) TOG domains add free tubulin dimers to the plus end and detach from the dimers. This process alters MOR1’s conformation such that MOR1 positions itself in the next protofilament. MOR1 continues to incorporate free tubulin into the next protofilament. If MOR1 fails to incorporate tubulin dimers (such as the case for lattice-bound MOR1), MOR1 will dissociate. If MOR1 has impaired polymerase function (such as the case for mor1-1), it will take longer to add dimers and move more slowly from one protofilament to the next. (C) MOR1 moves across all 13 protofilaments and encounters a microtubule seam where α/β-tubulin units do not line up perfectly. (D) MOR1 may cross the seam to continue polymerization or dissociate from the microtubule.

    Figure 4. Decreased expression of Oprm1 mRNA and protein with icKO. (A) Quantitative analysis of Oprm1 mRNA expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), CA1-CA2 areas and dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus, caudate putamen (CPu), nucleus accumbens (NAc), and the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Two-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of genotype [F (1, 24) = 519.3, p < 0.001]. A Bonferroni post hoc test showed that Oprm1 icKO mice expressed significantly less Oprm1 mRNA in all brain regions of interest. n = 3 mice per group; 2 sections per mouse; 15 regions of interest (ROI) per data point. ROI was defined by a 15 µm circle over a field that contained at least one green-turquoise (Fast Green; labeling Aldh1 mRNA) punctum within an astrocyte, as seen in B. (B) Co-localization of Oprm1 mRNA expression (red dots) surrounding randomly selected Aldh1l1 mRNA expression loci (green-turquoise dots). The radius of the black circle (ROI) is 15 µm (707 µm2). Pixels for red (Fast Red) Oprm1 mRNA staining were counted within the ROI. (C,D) Representative images of sections counterstained with 50% Gill’s hematoxylin 1 to disclose tissue morphology, i.e., the cell nuclei (purple). The black circle denotes the ROI shown in B. (E,F) Quantitative analysis of Western blots revealed significantly decreased expression of astrocytic MOR1 in Oprm1 icKO mice (Student’s t test; t = 23.22, p < 0.0001). n = 4 mice per group; Error bars indicate SEM. *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.

    a (Left) Bright-field image of a horizontal section through the brain of a rat, illustrating two examples of Py-CFs maintained in the brain, overlaid with a reverse-contrast fluorescent image of the section just above that was stained for markers (color key in figure) of cell nuclei (DAPI), blood brain permeability marker (IgG), and striosomes (MOR1). The Py-CFs were unable to remain in the thinner 25 μm slices typically used for immunohistochemical staining, and therefore sections were made thicker (100 μm) in some sections (sectioning schedule shown in a, right). Enhanced IgG staining is apparent just around the Py-CFs, confirming that the devices were not displaced during brain cutting. Blood vessels were perforated at the surface of the brain during insertion of the CFET array in order to provide staining along the CFET insertion track and to validate that the location of the Py-CFs remained fixed in the tissue section. b Fluorescence image of a MOR1-immunostained 100 μm thick section with embedded Py-CFs (black lines).
