Hippocampal pyramidal neurons in culture showed a developmental
shift in synapse distribution from dendritic shafts to spines. Using
dual wavelength time-lapse fluorescence microscopy, we analyzed the
morphogenesis of three synaptic components: dendritic spines, postsynaptic densities (PSDs), and presynaptic vesicles. Local assembly
of a major PSD protein, PSD-95, was spatially and temporally correlated
with spine morphogenesis. Clustering of postsynaptic PSD-95 and that of
a predominant synaptic vesicle protein, synaptophysin, were also
correlated. In contrast, pre-existing PSD-95 clusters in dendritic
shafts were preferentially eliminated without promoting spine
formation. The local and stepwise assembly of synaptic components at
the contact sites between dendritic protrusions and axons explains the
developmental remodeling of excitatory synapses.
Key words:
synaptogenesis; dendritic spines; postsynaptic density; green fluorescent protein; fluorescence microscopy; hippocampus
