Neurotrophin-3 signals redistribute RNA in neurons.
The translocation of specific mRNAs to dendrites and their potential for locally regulated translation are likely to serve as an effector in neuronal plasticity. Whether translation in dendrites is regulated by delivery of the RNA to sites of plasticity or a stationary pool of localized RNA undergoes enhanced translational efficiency is not clear. We show that RNA can translocate into dendrites...
متن کاملNeurotrophin-3 promotes the cholinergic differentiation of sympathetic neurons.
Neurotrophins influence the epigenetic shaping of the vertebrate nervous system by regulating neuronal numbers during development and synaptic plasticity. Here we attempt to determine whether these growth factors can also regulate neurotransmitter plasticity. As a model system we used the selection between noradrenergic and cholinergic neurotransmission by paravertebral sympathetic neurons. Dev...
متن کاملSpecific high-affinity receptors for neurotrophin-3 on sympathetic neurons.
When used at concentrations allowing interactions only with its high-affinity receptors, neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) promotes the survival of sensory neurons isolated from embryonic day 8 (E8) chicks, but not the survival of E11 sympathetic neurons. These sympathetic neurons (which can be rescued by the addition of NGF) display high-affinity receptors for NT-3 (Kd of 1.6 x 10(-11) M) that cannot be d...
متن کاملThe neurotrophin receptor p75 binds neurotrophin-3 on sympathetic neurons with high affinity and specificity.
High-affinity neurotrophin-3 (NT3) receptors have been identified on nerve growth factor (NGF)-dependent sympathetic neurons, but their occupancy by NT3 does not lead to neuronal survival. The molecular nature of these NT3 binding sites was investigated in this study. With freshly dissociated embryonic day 11 (E11) chick sympathetic neurons, cross-linking experiments revealed that the main rece...
متن کاملWNT-3, Expressed by Motoneurons, Regulates Terminal Arborization of Neurotrophin-3-Responsive Spinal Sensory Neurons
Sensory axons from dorsal root ganglia neurons are guided to spinal targets by molecules differentially expressed along the dorso-ventral axis of the neural tube. NT-3-responsive muscle afferents project ventrally, cease extending, and branch upon contact with motoneurons (MNs), their synaptic partners. We have identified WNT-3 as a candidate molecule that regulates this process. Wnt-3 is expre...
