Immunohistochemistry: Bassoon Antibody [NBP1-46351] -

AICP treatment immediately after fear extinction increases synaptic alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptors. (A) Confocal images from basolateral amygdala (BLA) of vehicle-extinction (top) and AICP extinction (100 ng/side, i-BLA, bottom) WT mice immunostained for AMPA receptor GluA1 subunit and PSD 95. Arrowheads showing colocalized puncta. (B) Quantification of immunostaining; AICP treatment led to a significant increase in total GluA1 puncta (P = .0196). Trend for an increase in PSD 95 immunoreactive puncta in AICP-extinction group (P = .0926). Significant increase in total GluA1-PSD 95 colocalized puncta in AICP-extinction group (P = .0002). (C) Confocal images from BLA of vehicle-extinction (top) and AICP-extinction (bottom) WT mice immunostained for bassoon, GluA1 and PSD 95. Arrowheads show colocalized puncta. (D) Quantification of immunostaining. No significant change in bassoon-PSD 95 colocalized puncta by AICP (P = .1387). Significant increase in bassoon/GluA1/PSD 95 colocalized puncta (P = .0282) by AICP treatment. Bar graphs represent mean +/- SEM, each data point representing 22–24 images from n = 3 vehicle and n = 5 AICP mice. Data were analyzed by unpaired t test. Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34363482), licensed under a CC-BY license. Not internally tested by Novus Biologicals.

Background: Bassoon

Bassoon is a 420 kDa protein that is a localized at the presynaptic nerve terminals and is believed to play a role in the structural and functional organization of the synaptic vesicle cycle (1-3). Bassoon does not belong to any known protein families. It has been found in rat and mouse with sequence identity of the two proteins at 96% (1). The human BASSOON gene has recently been cloned and localized (3). Bassoon is predicted to contain two double-zinc fingers, three coiled-coil regions, and two polyglutamine domains (1). The polyglutamine domains in the C-terminus are of interest, since it is known that for some human proteins, such as Huntingtin, abnormal amplification of this region can cause late-onset neurodegeneration (1,3). Bassoon is concentrated at sites opposite to postsynaptic densities in synaptic terminals and in cultured neurons, it is found to colocalize with GABA (A) and glutamate (GluR1) receptors (2). Another presynaptic protein, Piccolo (4) was found to colocalize with Bassoon in cultured hippocampal neurons (1). These observations suggested that they serve specific functions at synaptic junctions and may be involved in organization of the cytoskeleton at the site of neurotransmitter release (1).
