    Abstract The dendritic arbor is responsible for receiving and consolidating neuronal input. Outgrowth and morphogenesis of the arbor are complex stages of development that are poorly understood. However, recent findings have identified synaptic scaffolding proteins as novel regulators of these important events. Scaffolding proteins are enriched in the post-synaptic density where they bind and bring into close proximity neurotransmitter receptors, signaling molecules, and regulators of the actin cytoskeleton. This property is important for dendritic spine morphogenesis and maintenance in the mature neuron. Scaffolding proteins are now being described as key regulators of neurite outgrowth, dendritic development, and pattern formation in immature neurons. These proteins, which include post-synaptic-95, Shank and Densin-180, as well as many of their interacting partners, appear to regulate both the microtubule and actin cytoskeleton to influence dendrite morphology. Through a large array of protein-protein interaction domains, scaffolding proteins are able to form large macromolecular complexes that include cytoskeletal motor proteins as well as microtubule and actin regulatory molecules. Together, the new findings form a persuasive argument that scaffolding proteins deliver critical regulatory elements to sites of dendritic outgrowth and branching to modulate the formation and maintenance of the dendritic arbor.

    Abstract Background: Mutations in exon ORF15 of the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator gene (RPGR) within chromosomal region Xp21.1 are a significant cause of a number of retinal disorders. The high mutation rate is ascribed to the highly repetitive, purine-rich tracts within the exon ORF15 sequence. Importantly, all exon ORF15 mutations observed to date represent protein-truncating mutations (nonsense and frameshift mutations). Because of its repetitive motifs, mutation screening of the hot-spot region by direct DNA sequencing is a technically challenging task.
    Methods: We devised a screening strategy for exon ORF15 mutations that reserves DNA sequencing for precise sizing and base-order assessment of detected mutations. The screening strategy is based on a PCR/restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of exon ORF15 and comparison with population-specific RFLP haplotypes. The latter were constructed from PCR/RFLP analysis of DNA samples from 100 healthy German male individuals. Mutational alterations of normal RFLP haplotype patterns were predicted.
    Results: Six distinct RFLP haplotypes (founder alleles H1-H6) were observed with frequencies ranging from 2% to 63%. All natural variations of exon ORF15 were in-frame alterations ranging in size between 3bp and 36bp. Prediction of mutation-specific RFLP patterns indicated a high detection rate of mutations.
    Conclusion: A new strategy has been developed using routine protocols for mutation screening of difficult-to-sequence, highly repetitive exon ORF15 of the RPGR gene in a German population.

    Abstract The transfection of expression constructs encoding a variety of transgenes is a widely used method to study gene function in cultured cells. Especially when the efficiency of the knock-down of target proteins via small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is to be determined by quantitative Western blotting, large proportions of untransfected cells compromise the analysis. Achieving high transfection efficiencies in postmitotic cells, such as neurons, poses a particular problem in that these cells cannot be selected for the expression of the transgene following transfection. It is therefore important to develop protocols that allow for the highly efficient transfection of these cells. In the present study, we identify three important parameters that prove especially useful for chronically difficult to transfect short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-encoding plasmids: the amount and quality of the plasmid DNA used and the use of new nucleofection programs. Combining those changes increases the rate of transfected cells from less than 5% to up to approximately 80%. Importantly, these high transfection efficiencies can be obtained while maintaining good cell viability and normal cellular development. Taken together, these improvements allow for a detailed biochemical and phenotypical analysis of neurons that have been nucleoporated with a wide variety of shRNAs.
