BDNF, mTOR, and Dendritic Protein Synthesis
The presence of ribosomes and mRNAs in dendrites has fueled a 25 year search for local protein synthesis as a mechanism of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. Takei et al. this week examine the molecular cascades involved in perisynaptic and dendritic protein translation. They focused on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) because it can regulate synaptic plasticity and induces protein...
متن کاملSpecificity of interferon action in protein synthesis.
Inhibitors of elongation steps in protein synthesis such as cycloheximide and anisomycin mimic interferon treatment in that they specifically inhibit the synthesis of certain viral proteins. These specific effects are seen only at very low concentrations of the antibiotics, under conditions where host cellular protein synthesis, as well as cell viability, are not severely reduced. A qualitative...
متن کاملTunable protein synthesis by transcript isoforms in human cells
Eukaryotic genes generate multiple RNA transcript isoforms though alternative transcription, splicing, and polyadenylation. However, the relationship between human transcript diversity and protein production is complex as each isoform can be translated differently. We fractionated a polysome profile and reconstructed transcript isoforms from each fraction, which we term Transcript Isoforms in P...
متن کاملDual Regulation of miRNA Biogenesis Generates Target Specificity in Neurotrophin-Induced Protein Synthesis
Control of translation is a fundamental source of regulation in gene expression. The induction of protein synthesis by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) critically contributes to enduring modifications of synaptic function, but how BDNF selectively affects only a minority of expressed mRNAs is poorly understood. We report that BDNF rapidly elevates Dicer, increasing mature miRNA levels a...
متن کاملProtein synthesis in rabbit reticulocytes: mechanism of protein synthesis inhibition by heme-regulated inhibitor.
Partially purified Met-tRNAf binding factor, eIF-2, was phosphorylated by using heme-regulated inhibitor (HRI). Phosphorylated eIF-2 was freed from HRI by phosphocellulose column chromatography. Analysis by isoelectric focusing showed 100% phosphorylation of the 38,000-dalton subunit of eIF-2. Both eIF-2 and eIF-2(P) formed ternary complexes with Met-tRNAf and GTP with almost the same efficienc...
