Compared with vector-transfected cells, neurons overexpressing wildtype TRIM3 showed a decrease in spine head width, while those overexpressing the putative dominant negative TRIM3 mutants had enlarged spine heads (Figure 5A, B) There was little effect on spine length (Figure S3A) or spine density (spines/10 µm ± SEM; Control: 4.79±0.18; TRIM3 4.88±0.22; ΔRING 5.36±0.29; C22S/C25.36±0.29.21).
