Neurons are highly polarized cells with morphologically and functionally distinct subcellular domains. The axon initial segment (AIS) and node of Ranvier are two axonal domains characterized by an "electron-dense" membrane undercoating consisting of voltage-gated Na  and K  channels (Nav and Kv, respectively), cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), and a specialized membrane cytoskeleton (Poliak and Peles, 2003; Salzer, 2003). These domains act as the generator for action potential initiation and propagation (Khaliq and Raman, 2006; Naundorf et al., 2006), and the diffusion barrier for maintaining axonal polarity (Winckler et al., 1999). Disruption of these membrane domains or their molecular composition contributes to the pathophysiology of many nervous system diseases, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury (Chen et al., 2004; Craner et al., 2004; Sasaki et al., 2006). Consequently, any therapeutic strategy aimed at treating these diseases and reversing their devastating effects will require a detailed understanding of the mechanisms responsible for node and AIS formation and maintenance./ Q# `% i( n% j

From both molecular and functional standpoints, the AIS and nodes of Ranvier are very similar; they have nearly every protein component in common, and both provide the ionic currents necessary for membrane depolarization and action potential initiation/propagation. Despite these strong similarities, one major difference between these two membrane domains is that node formation requires myelination by Schwann cells or oligodendrocytes, but the AIS is intrinsically organized by the neuron. Thus, nodes form "outside-in," whereas the AIS forms "inside-out" (for review see Hedstrom and Rasband, 2006).2 |! e' U- m( {, c: j5 E9 b3 H# s" u

The ankyrin and spectrin protein families play important roles in regulating protein localization and membrane domain formation in many different cell types (Bennett and Baines, 2001). For example, in erythrocytes the spectrin-based membrane skeleton is essential for maintaining the cell's biconcave shape and restricting the lateral mobility of the anion exchanger through the scaffolding protein ankyrinR (ankR; Delaunay, 2006). The identification and localization of neuronal ankyrinG (ankG) and ?IV spectrin provided important clues for the mechanism of AIS and node formation in axons (Kordeli et al., 1995; Berghs et al., 2000). During development, both ankG and ?IV spectrin define putative nodes and initial segments before ion channels cluster (Rasband et al., 1999; Jenkins and Bennett, 2001). In a mouse lacking ankG in Purkinje neurons, Nav and KCNQ2/3 Kv channels, neurofascin-186, and ?IV spectrin all fail to cluster at the AIS (Zhou et al., 1998; Jenkins and Bennett, 2001; Komada and Soriano, 2002; Pan et al., 2006). Further, distinct protein domains in Nav channels, KCNQ2/3 Kv channels, and NF-186 have been identified that mediate their interactions with ankG (Garver et al., 1997; Garrido et al., 2003; Lemaillet et al., 2003; Pan et al., 2006). Together, these results all point to ankG as a principal organizer of the membrane proteins located at the AIS. However, in mice lacking ?IV spectrin, neither ankG nor Nav channels correctly localize to the AIS, indicating that like ankG, ?IV spectrin is also indispensable for domain organization (Komada and Soriano, 2002). To determine whether ?IV spectrin directs the formation of the AIS and nodes of Ranvier, we identified the molecular mechanisms regulating its recruitment to these domains.2 ~' r3 o7 H; {" Y6 O& K( w

Throughout the central nervous system, AISs are characterized by high densities of Nav channels that colocalize with ankG (Fig. 1 A; Jenkins and Bennett, 2001; Boiko et al., 2003). Despite large dendrites and long axons, high densities of Nav channels and ankG are only found in short 20–40-μm-long domains at the proximal region of the axon adjacent to the cell body (Fig. 1 A). To determine how this specificity is achieved, we used the well-characterized embryonic hippocampal neuron culture system (Banker and Goslin, 1998) to study the molecular mechanisms regulating AIS formation; this model has been used previously to elucidate the mechanisms regulating protein sorting and targeting in neurons (Lim et al., 2000; Silverman et al., 2001; Sampo et al., 2003; Wisco et al., 2003; Lee et al., 2004).

To determine if cultured hippocampal neurons form an AIS, we immunostained these neurons after 7–10 d in vitro (DIV) using antibodies against Nav channels, ?IV spectrin, and ankG; antibodies against MAP2 were used to identify somatodendritic domains. These neurons typically had 1–2 axons that could be distinguished from dendrites by the enrichment for AIS proteins at the proximal region of the axon adjacent to the cell soma and the absence of MAP2 staining (Fig. 1, B and C). There was a marked increase in AIS proteins that corresponded to a complementary decrease in MAP2 (Fig. 1, B and C, fluorescence intensity profiles). Thus, hippocampal neurons in vitro form well-defined initial segments that are molecularly identical to those observed in vivo.

We found that the percentage of neurons with an AIS defined by Nav channel staining increased dramatically during the first week (Fig. 1, D–F). At 1 DIV, only 14 ± 3% of neurons had AIS Nav channel immunoreactivity, but this percentage increased to 94 ± 2% at 7 DIV, and included 100% of neurons by 14 DIV (Fig. 1 E; typical Nav channel staining of hippocampal neurons at three time points is shown in Fig. 1 D). Fluorescence intensity profiles along the axon as a function of DIV showed that the density of Nav channels continued to increase at the AIS from 7 to 21 DIV (Fig. 1 F). These results also demonstrate that axon specification precedes recruitment of Nav channels to the AIS (Banker and Goslin, 1998).

How is ?IV spectrin localized at the AIS? ?IV spectrin undergoes extensive alternative splicing with at least six different variants (Berghs et al., 2000; Komada and Soriano, 2002). Among these, the ?IV1 and ?IV6 splice variants are both located at nodes of Ranvier and the AIS (Lacas-Gervais et al., 2004). ?IV1 consists of an N-terminal actin-binding domain followed by 17 spectrin repeats, a specific domain that is unique among the ?-spectrins, and a C-terminal pleckstrin homology domain; ?IV6 is identical to the C-terminal half of ?IV1 (Fig. 2 A). Because ?IV6 is located at nodes and the AIS in a mouse lacking ?IV1 (Lacas-Gervais et al., 2004), we reasoned that the AIS localization determinant must be distal to the 10th spectrin repeat (SR10). To test this possibility, we first introduced Myc-tagged ?IV6 (Myc-?IV6) into cultured hippocampal neurons at 7 DIV because initial segments, which were defined by Nav channel immunostaining, can be detected in most neurons at this time (Fig. 1 E). 1 d later, Myc immunoreactivity (red) was detected at the AIS in a pattern identical to that of endogenous ?IV spectrin (Fig. 2, B and C).- E3 ~' u: n* [# \

8 X/ f+ r* F- [5 RBecause the restricted localization of Myc-?IV6 at the AIS of cultured hippocampal neurons provides a very simple functional assay, we undertook a deletion strategy to identify the protein domain necessary for ?IV spectrin localization. We generated a series of progressively shorter Myc-?IV6 mutants by introducing a premature s codon (Fig. 2 A) between spectrin repeats. In the case of the Myc–"quivering 3J" (qv3J) mutant construct, we introduced the same point mutation as found in the qv3J mouse (Parkinson et al., 2001; Yang et al., 2004). Transient transfection of these plasmids into CHO cells, followed by immunoblotting with Myc antibodies, shows that all mutants are expressed at the expected molecular weights (Fig. S1 A, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200610128/DC1).

In contrast, ?IV spectrin proteins lacking SR15 (Fig. 2 E, Myc-SR10-14; Fig. S1 C, Myc-SR10-13; and Fig. S1 D, Myc-SR10-11) all failed to localize at the AIS (arrows).

To test this more directly, we generated a short, Myc-tagged ?IV spectrin protein consisting of only SR14-15 (Myc-SR14-15; Fig. 2 A). When transfected into neurons, this protein could be detected at the AIS (Fig. 2 F, arrow). However, it was also more enriched in the soma than Myc-?IV6, Myc-qv3J, or Myc-SR10-15. Collectively, these results strongly suggest that SR15 is required for the localization of ?IV spectrin to the AIS.( j1 O# D7 s6 X* ~- t* M

4 q: U" J* W$ M+ n5 J: uWhat is the molecular basis for SR15-dependent targeting of ?IV spectrin to the AIS? Previous studies of ion channels and CAMs restricted to the AIS have shown that their localization depends on binding to ankG (Garrido et al., 2003; Lemaillet et al., 2003; Pan et al., 2006), and ankG-null neurons lack ?IV spectrin at their AIS (Komada and Soriano, 2002). Further, in vitro binding assays suggested that erythrocyte ankyrin (ankR) binds to SR15 of erythrocyte ?-spectrin (Kennedy et al., 1991). Therefore, we considered the possibility that ?IVSR15 might interact with ankG, and that this interaction might be the basis for the localization of ?IV spectrin at the AIS. To test this, Myc-?IV6 or mutant constructs (Fig. 2 A) were cotransfected into CHO cells together with a GFP-tagged 270-kD splice variant of ankG (AnkG-GFP; ankG is found in both 270- and 480-kD splice variants at the AIS and nodes of Ranvier; Zhang and Bennett, 1998). We immunoprecipitated AnkG-GFP, and then determined if Myc-tagged ?IV spectrin proteins were coimmunoprecipitated. Immunoblots of these immunoprecipitation reactions demonstrated that all proteins containing SR15 (Myc-?IV6, Myc-qv3J, Myc-SR10-15, and Myc-SR14-15) coimmunoprecipitated with AnkG-GFP (Fig. 3 A). However, proteins lacking SR15 (Myc-SR10-14, Myc-SR10-13, and Myc-SR10-11) failed to coimmunoprecipitate with AnkG-GFP. AnkG-GFP was detected in all anti-GFP immunoprecipitations (unpublished data). These results suggest that SR15 of ?IV spectrin is required for binding to ankG, and that the AIS localization of ?IV spectrin depends on binding to ankG.5 s1 m1 e+ y7 P0 _0 M) x

Because hippocampal neurons also express ankyrinB (ankB) and other ? spectrins, including ?I, ?II, and ?III spectrin (Fig. S1 E; Leshchyns'ka et al., 2003; Ogawa et al., 2006), we tested the specificity of the ankG–?IV spectrin interaction. We cotransfected Myc-?IV6 and a GFP-tagged ankB (AnkB-GFP) or AnkG-GFP. However, although more AnkB-GFP was immunoprecipitated compared with AnkG-GFP, we were unable to detect any interaction between AnkB-GFP and Myc-?IV6 (Fig. 3 B). We also cotransfected AnkG-GFP together with a GFP-tagged ?III spectrin (?III-GFP), immunoprecipitated AnkG-GFP using anti-ankG, and immunoblotted the immunoprecipitate using anti-?III spectrin. However, we were unable to detect any ?III-GFP in the immunoprecipitate (Fig. 3 B, IP). These results are consistent with the fact that neither ankB nor ?III spectrin are located at the AIS of hippocampal neurons (Fig. S1 E; Ogawa et al., 2006). Thus, the interaction between ankG and ?IV spectrin is specific, and different ? spectrins and ankyrins cannot substitute for one another (Mohler et al., 2002; Ogawa et al., 2006).

& n9 ^1 s% u' M9 T* b0 _: QTo further determine whether ?IV spectrin has intrinsic localization determinants and directs ankG to the AIS, we used a mutant of AnkG-GFP (AnkG-KK-GFP) that lacks the N-terminal membrane-binding domain (that binds to Nav channels and CAMs) and the serine-rich domain, but retains the spectrin-binding domain (Fig. 3 D). Cotransfection of Myc-?IV6 with AnkG-GFP or AnkG-KK-GFP permitted GFP antibodies to coimmunoprecipitate Myc-?IV6, indicating that the AnkG-KK-GFP protein interacts with Myc-?IV6, but GFP alone does not (Fig. 3 E). We introduced AnkG-GFP and AnkG-KK-GFP into hippocampal neurons by transient transfection. Although AnkG-GFP localized at the AIS (Fig. 4 A), AnkG-KK-GFP was never found at the AIS and, instead, was distributed throughout the cell (Fig. 4 B), much like GFP alone (not depicted). Although AnkG-KK-GFP was not found at the AIS, endogenous ankG was properly located at the AIS (Fig. 4 C; AnkG-KK-GFP lacks the epie for anti-ankG). Transfection with AnkG-GFP did not alter the localization of either endogenous ?IV spectrin (Fig. 4 D) or Nav channels (Fig. 4 F). However, transfection with AnkG-KK-GFP disrupted the localization of endogenous ?IV spectrin (Fig. 4 E), indicating that this protein can act in a dominant-negative manner to disrupt ?IV spectrin localization at the AIS. In contrast to the disruption of ?IV spectrin, Nav channels were still located at the AIS in AnkG-KK-GFP–transfected neurons (Fig. 4 G) because Nav channels interact with the membrane-binding domain of ankG (Srinivasan et al., 1992) and this domain is not present in the AnkG-KK-GFP mutant protein. Collectively, these results show that ?IV spectrin does not direct ankG or Nav channels to the AIS and supports the conclusion that ?IV spectrin's AIS localization depends on ankG.

To confirm that ?IV spectrin localization at the AIS in vivo also requires binding to ankG, we generated three adenoviral ?IV spectrin constructs (Ad-Myc-?IV6, Ad-Myc-SR10-15, and Ad-Myc-SR10-14) for expression of wild-type and mutant Myc-tagged ?IV spectrins in infected neurons. Immunoblots of cell lysates from COS cells infected by these adenovirus showed that the proteins are expressed at the expected molecular weights (Fig. 3 F). To infect neurons, embryonic day (E) 14.5 mice received in utero intraventricular injections of the different adenovirus. Animals were born and allowed to mature for 1 wk, after which brains were collected, sectioned, and immunostained for Myc and Nav channel immunoreactivity. We found hundreds of cortical neurons with Myc-?IV6 spectrin located at the AIS (Fig. 5 A). In the hippocampus, many initial segments can be detected using antibodies against Nav channels (Fig. 5 B), and Myc-?IV6 could be detected at a subset of these initial segments (Fig. 5 B, arrows). As in cultured hippocampal neurons, we found that in vivo both cortical and hippocampal neurons expressing Myc-SR10-15 had Myc immunoreactivity restricted to the AIS that colocalized with Nav channel immunoreactivity (Fig. 5, C and D, arrows). However, Myc-SR10-14 could not be detected at the AIS of cortical or hippocampal neurons (Fig. 5, E and F, arrow).

AnkG binding is required for ?IV spectrin localization at nodes of Ranvier: b9 x. `8 y/ Q- F& g" u+ r5 C, q

" @# i( L0 Y; iDo the rules governing assembly of the AIS also apply to nodes of Ranvier? Although AIS and nodes share a common molecular organization, the formation of nodes requires extrinsic interactions supplied by myelinating glia, whereas the AIS is intrinsically determined by neurons (for review see Schafer and Rasband, 2006). Nevertheless, there may be some common intrinsic mechanisms regulating both AIS and node of Ranvier formation. To determine if nodal localization of ?IV spectrin depends on ankG binding, we performed intravitreal injections with Ad-Myc-?IV6, Ad-Myc-SR10-15, or Ad-Myc-SR10-14 to infect adult rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). We collected optic nerves from the injected eyes, and we immunostained sections using anti-Myc (red) and anti-Caspr antibodies (green). Although the infection efficiency of adult RGCs was low, we could detect both Myc-?IV6 and Myc-SR10-15 at many nodes of Ranvier (Fig. 6, A and B, arrows and insets). In contrast, we never detected nodal Myc immunoreactivity in Ad-Myc-SR10-14–injected mice (Fig. 6 C). Although we examined the entire optic nerve by immunostaining, we were unable to confirm that specific axons corresponded to Ad-Myc-SR10-14–infected RGC neurons because we could not detect low levels of axonal Myc immunoreactivity and we could not follow the axons of Myc-labeled RGCs from the retina into the optic nerve.

Thus, to identify myelinated axons from infected neurons and to determine if the mechanism of ?IV spectrin localization to peripheral nervous system (PNS) nodes is like that of central nervous system (CNS) nodes, we used the different adenovirus to infect dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in myelinated DRG-Schwann cell cocultures (Fig. 6, D–F). Very few Schwann cells were infected, but many DRG neurons were infected and could be stained using anti-Myc antibodies (Fig. 6, D–F; infected DRG neuron cell bodies are indicated by an asterisk). Nodes of Ranvier (arrows) and heminodes (arrowheads) were identified by double-immunostaining with antibodies against the paranodal protein Caspr (green), whereas Myc-?IV6, Myc-SR10-15, and Myc-SR10-14 were detected using anti-Myc (red). Myc-?IV6 was located at the AIS, the first heminodes (Fig. 6 D, arrowheads), and the nodes of Ranvier (Fig. 6 D, arrow and inset). Similarly, Myc-SR10-15 was located at the nodes of Ranvier (Fig. 6 E, arrows and inset). In these cultures, both Myc-?IV6 and Myc-SR10-15 were detected at several hundred nodes. However, we never detected Myc-SR10-14 at any heminodes or nodes of Ranvier in myelinating DRG-Schwann cell cocultures (Fig. 6 F, arrowhead, arrow, and inset). Thus, as with the AIS, these results suggest that ?IV spectrin requires SR15 for its localization to CNS and PNS nodes of Ranvier.: ~$ E$ l' }) A) o( @

This is in contrast to the PNS, where 40% of nodes had reduced, albeit detectable, ?IV spectrin immunoreactivity (Yang et al., 2004). To confirm that ankG localization to nodes and the AIS does not require ?IV spectrin, we examined ankG and Nav channel clustering in qv3J mutant brain and optic nerve. In wild-type mice, ankG and Nav channels are highly enriched at nodes of Ranvier and the AIS (Fig. 7, A and D; Yang et al., 2004). Similarly, in both young and aged qv3J mutant mice (qv3J mutant mice usually die at 5–6 mo), ankG (green) is still located at broadened nodes of Ranvier (Fig. 7, B and C) and the AIS (Fig. 7, E and F). However, we did observe decreased immunoreactivity for ankG and Nav channels in the 6-mo-old mutant compared with the 1.5-mo-old qv3J mutant mice (compare Fig. 7, E and F). These results show that ankG is still appropriately targeted and clustered at the AIS and nodes of Ranvier in qv3J ?IV spectrin mutant mice.

  ~  o, n6 a9 r% yDifferent ankyrin and spectrin isoforms are found in a variety of cell types, cylasmic organelles, and tissues (Bennett and Baines, 2001). Their unique spatial distributions are critical for the formation and maintenance of specific membrane domains. For example, ablation of the 190-kD isoform of ankG by RNAi disrupts lateral membrane domains in epithelial cells (Kizhatil and Bennett, 2004), and mutations in ankB disrupt the localization of the Na /Ca2  exchanger, the Na /K -ATPase, and the inositol trisphosphate receptor in cardiomyocyte T-tubule/sarcoplasmic reticulum domains (Mohler et al., 2005). Elimination of presynaptic spectrin in Drosophila melanogaster results in the loss of synapse-associated CAMs and causes subsequent synapse disassembly (Pielage et al., 2005). Thus, ankyrins and spectrins function to link membrane proteins to the cytoskeleton and are indispensable for the formation and stabilization of membrane domains.

0 Q( U: }' c/ u& X* G8 {0 iWhat do our results reveal about the mechanisms underlying AIS and node of Ranvier membrane domain formation? Whereas in other cellular contexts ?-spectrins have been proposed to dictate ankyrin localization (De Matteis and Morrow, 1998), our results clearly demonstrate that ?IV spectrin recruitment to nodes and AIS depends on binding to ankG. Consistent with this idea, ?IV spectrin failed to localize properly at the AIS when the dominant-negative AnkG-KK-GFP protein was expressed in neurons. Importantly, loss of ?IV spectrin from the AIS did not disrupt Nav channel or endogenous ankG clustering, indicating that ankG directs ?IV spectrin localization to the AIS and that ?IV spectrin is not required for ankG or Nav channel clustering. This conclusion is consistent with previous studies demonstrating ankG binding is essential for the localization of many membrane proteins, including Nav channels, KCNQ2/3 Kv channels, and NF-186 at the AIS (Garrido et al., 2003; Lemaillet et al., 2003; Pan et al., 2006). Our results extend the role of ankG to clustering and localization of both cylasmic and membrane proteins.

Our results demonstrate that ankG directs ?IV spectrin localization. However, this conclusion is in direct contrast to a recent study examining the mechanism of ankyrin and ?-spectrin localization in D. melanogaster (Das et al., 2006). To determine the function of distinct protein domains in ? spectrin, mutant forms were introduced into a fly with a lethal mutation in ? spectrin. Surprisingly, loss of the putative ankyrin-binding domain (equivalent to SR15 of ?IV spectrin reported in this study) had relatively little effect on localization of ? spectrin, and this mutant ? spectrin rescued the lethal phenotype. However, deletion of only the PH domain failed to rescue the lethal phenotype. These results suggested that the PH domain may be critical for the membrane targeting and localization of ? spectrins. However, our results argue against a role for the PH domain in membrane targeting and localization of ?IV spectrin because the Myc-qv3J mutant ?IV spectrin analyzed in this study was appropriately localized to the AIS.

If ?IV spectrin is not essential for the targeting and localization of ankG and AIS formation in general, why is there a loss of ankG and Nav channels from the AIS in ?IV spectrin-null mice (Komada and Soriano, 2002), and what is ?IV spectrin's function? In this study, we examined early events in AIS formation. Previously, using mutant mice we showed that ?IV spectrin is essential to maintain membrane structure and the proper molecular organization of nodes, the AIS, and the axonal cytoskeleton (Lacas-Gervais et al., 2004; Yang et al., 2004). In the analysis of ?IV spectrin-null mice, early time points were not considered, and only initial segments of 3-mo-old mice were analyzed (Komada and Soriano, 2002). We speculate that during brain development the AIS forms properly in ?IV spectrin-null mice, but that with increasing age the lack of ?IV spectrin destabilizes this membrane domain, resulting in the loss of other AIS components. Thus, ?IV spectrin is important for node and AIS stability rather than formation. Consistent with this interpretation, compared with 1.5-mo-old qv3J mutant mice, there were decreased amounts of Nav channels and ankG at the AIS in 6-mo-old mutant mice.

: p- m. _5 ^* i% S( W% S3 SIf ankG is the central mediator of AIS and node formation, what determines its localization to these sites? In the PNS, transinteractions between the CAMs NF-186 in axons and gliomedin on Schwann cells causes NF-186 to accumulate at the edges of myelinating Schwann cells (Eshed et al., 2005; Sherman et al., 2005). These aggregates of NF-186 are the first axonal proteins detected at nascent nodes (Lambert et al., 1997; Schafer et al., 2006). NF-186 binds to ankG, and mice lacking NF-186 fail to cluster ankG at putative nodes of Ranvier, indicating that NF-186 functions as a membrane attachment point for ankG recruitment and clustering (Tuvia et al., 1997; Sherman et al., 2005). AnkG is thought to act as a protein scaffold to retain Nav and KCNQ2/3 Kv channels at nodes (Garrido et al., 2003; Lemaillet et al., 2003; Pan et al., 2006). Our results demonstrating that SR15 and ankG binding are required for localization of ?IV6 spectrin to nodes of Ranvier provides the first direct evidence that ankG plays a central role in organizing the nodal protein complex. Thus, at nodes of Ranvier, extrinsic glial-derived signals regulate the eventual clustering of ankG and the subsequent accumulation of ?IV spectrin.
) X1 s$ n5 B! a$ i& L) r0 K" c; P' S- i7 l; J5 H3 W; l
In our experiments, we demonstrated that SR15 is necessary for ?IV6 localization at the AIS and nodes of Ranvier. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that additional N-terminal domains may contribute to the localization of ?IV1 in neurons. We consider this unlikely at the AIS because the AnkG-KK-GFP protein could block the proper localization of ?IV1 (both ?IV1 and ?IV6 are detected by the antibodies used in this study). However, Eshed et al. (2005) showed that the addition of a soluble fusion protein (the ectodomain of the CAM IgSF4) to cultured DRG neurons caused clustering of ?IV spectrin in the absence of any colocalized ankG. Although the mechanism responsible for this clustering is unknown, this observation suggests that in the PNS additional extrinsic factors may contribute to the localization of ?IV1.

" K, _# C- O4 bIn contrast to nodes, much less is known about the mechanisms regulating recruitment of ankG to the AIS. Although one report indicated that multiple protein domains are required for ankG's proper AIS localization (Zhang and Bennett, 1998), the specific protein–protein interactions involved are unknown. Intriguingly, when Nav channels are eliminated from motor neurons using RNAi, ankG could not be detected at the AIS, suggesting that Nav channels, or their ? subunits, may participate in ankG targeting, retention, and/or stabilization (Malhotra et al., 2002; Xu and Shrager, 2005). Thus, although the AIS and nodes of Ranvier share a common ankG-based mechanism for membrane domain formation and recruitment of ?IV spectrin, the intrinsic determinants regulating ankG localization and restriction to the AIS remain unknown. Identification of the molecular mechanisms regulating ankG localization at the AIS will require a more complete description of the ankG-interacting proteins located within this membrane domain.

Images were taken using 63x/1.4 NA Plan-Apochromat, 40x/1.3 NA Plan-Neofluar, or 10x/0.50 NA Fluar objectives (all Carl Zeiss MicroImaging, Inc.).

In some images, contrast and brightness were subsequently adjusted using Photoshop (Adobe). No other processing of the images was performed. Exposure times were controlled so that the pixel intensity in the measured AIS was below saturation; when averages were calculated, all exposure times were held constant. Fluorescence intensity values were measured along axons by tracing a line, beginning at the cell body and running through the AIS and axon. Fluorescence values along this line were measured using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health). MAP2 staining was used to distinguish dendrites from axons.
