From: Pyk2 uncouples metabotropic glutamate receptor G protein signaling but facilitates ERK1/2 activation
Pyk2 colocalizes with Group I mGluRs in HEK 293 cells and in primary mouse cortical neurons. Shown are representative confocal micrographic images of HEK293 cells showing the distribution of HA-Pyk2 and FLAG-mGluR1a distribution in either A) the absence of agonist treatment or B) following treatment with 100 μM quisqualate for 30 min. Cells are transfected with 1 μg of pcDNA3.1 plasmid cDNA encoding HA-Pyk2 and 5 μg of pcDNA3.1 plasmid cDNA encoding FLAG-mGluR1 and are stained with Alexa Fluor-conjugated 568 rabbit polyclonal anti-Flag antibody and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated mouse monoclonal anti-HA antibody at 4°C. The data is representative 3 independent experiments. Shown are representative confocal micrographic images of primary rat cortical neurons fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with either Alexa Flour 568-conjugated rabbit polyclonal anti-mGluR1a (C) or mGluR5 (D) antibody and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated polyclonal rabbit anti-Pyk2 antibody. The micrograph is representative of 3 independent experiments. Scale bars, 10 μm.
