Activity-dependent polyadenylation in neurons.
Activity-dependent changes in protein synthesis modify synaptic efficacy. One mechanism that regulates mRNA translation in the synapto-dendritic compartment is cytoplasmic polyadenylation, a process controlled by CPEB, the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE)-specific RNA binding protein. In neurons, very few mRNAs are known CPEB substrates, and none appear to be responsible for the effect...
متن کاملActivity-dependent current distributions in model neurons.
The electrical activity of a neuron can affect its intrinsic physiological characteristics through a wide range of processes. We study a computer-simulated multicompartment model neuron in which channel density depends on local Ca2+ concentrations. This has three interesting consequences for the spatial distribution of conductances and the physiological behavior of the neuron: (i) the model neu...
متن کاملActivity-dependent changes in intracellular calcium in myenteric neurons.
The spatial distribution and changes in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in myenteric neurons were measured using fura 2 in the longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus preparation from the guinea pig duodenum. These measurements were made simultaneously with intracellular voltage recordings. The generation of action potentials in the cell bodies of both S- and AH-type neurons increase...
متن کاملPromoter-proximal polyadenylation sites reduce transcription activity.
Gene expression relies on the functional communication between mRNA processing and transcription. We previously described the negative impact of a point-mutated splice donor (SD) site on transcription. Here we demonstrate that this mutation activates an upstream cryptic polyadenylation (CpA) site, which in turn causes reduced transcription. Functional depletion of U1 snRNP in the context of the...
متن کاملSynaptophysin regulates activity-dependent synapse formation in cultured hippocampal neurons.
Synaptophysin is an abundant synaptic vesicle protein without a definite synaptic function. Here, we examined a role for synaptophysin in synapse formation in mixed genotype micro-island cultures of wild-type and synaptophysin-mutant hippocampal neurons. We show that synaptophysin-mutant synapses are poor donors of presynaptic terminals in the presence of competing wild-type inputs. In homogeno...
