The properties of filopodia and spines and their association with
the postsynaptic density (PSD) protein PSD-95 were studied during early
development of cultured cortical neurons using time-lapse confocal
microscopy. Neurons were transfected with recombinant PSD-95 constructs
fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) for, on average, either 8 d in vitro (DIV) or 14 DIV. We find that, during 1 hr of
imaging, filopodia and spines bearing PSD-95/GFP clusters are
significantly more stable (i.e., do not turnover) than those lacking
clusters. When present within a spine precursor, a PSD-95/GFP cluster
appeared to nucleate a relatively stable structure around which
filopodium-spine membranes can move. Although processes bearing
clusters were generally stable, in 8 DIV neurons, we observed that a
subset (~10%) of PSD-95/GFP clusters underwent rapid modular
translocation between filopodia-spines and dendritic shafts. We
conclude that, during early synaptic maturation, prefabricated PSD-95
clusters are trafficked in a developmentally regulated process that is
associated with filopodial stabilization and synapse formation.
