Figure Lengend Snippet: Increased colocalization of Rab4-positive and Rab11-positive compartments in SynDIG4 KO neurons (A) Representative images showing the colocalization of SynDIG4 and Rab4 or Rab11. (B) Representative images showing the colocalization of Rab4 and Rab11. (C) Representative images showing the colocalization of Rab4 and EEA1. (D) Quantification of Manders’ colocalization coefficient for SynDIG4 and Rab4 or Rab11 in WT neurons. (E) Quantification of Manders’ colocalization coefficient for Rab4 and Rab11 in WT and SynDIG4 KO neurons. (F) Quantification of Manders’ colocalization coefficient for Rab4 and EEA1 in WT and SynDIG4 KO neurons. (G–I) Quantification of puncta size of Rab4, Rab11 and EEA1 in WT and SynDIG4 KO neurons, respectively. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, with statistical significance determined using unpaired t-test; n = ∼40 dendrite stretches, 2–3 dendritic stretches were cropped from individual neuron images; ****p < 0.0001, ns, not significant. Three biological replicates (independent cultures, each from a different litter with paired WT and KO littermates) were performed for each group, and representative results shown are from one of these replicates. Scale bar, 5 µm.
