bp(GO:"actin filament depolymerization")
For this, we treated our primary cortical neurons with jasplakinolide (1 M), a compound that promotes actin polymerization (Lazaro- Dieguez et al., 2008), or with a latrunculin A (at 500 nM), a compound that depolymerizes F-actin into soluble globular actin (Gactin; Coue´ et al., 1987; Fig. 5C). After jasplakinolide application, we observed a large increase in synaptic EGFP-tau fluorescence PubMed:24760868
Latrunculin treatment produced rapid actin depolymerization and the corresponding disappearance of LifeAct-RFP fluorescence in every spine studied; no synaptic EGFP-tau fluorescence was observed (data not shown). PubMed:24760868
