Eating Locally: Microautophagy and Protein Turnover at the Synapse
نویسنده
چکیده
Mechanisms of local protein quality control in the presynaptic nerve terminal remain largely unknown. In this issue of Neuron, Uytterhoeven et al. (2015) describe a form of synaptic endosomal microautophagy controlling protein rejuvenation, critical for optimal synaptic activity.

Hsc70-4 Deforms Membranes to Promote Synaptic Protein Turnover by Endosomal Microautophagy
Synapses are often far from their cell bodies and must largely independently cope with dysfunctional proteins resulting from synaptic activity and stress. To identify membrane-associated machines that can engulf synaptic targets destined for degradation, we performed a large-scale in vitro liposome-based screen followed by functional studies. We identified a presynaptically enriched chaperone H...
متن کاملUbiquitin and Protein Degradation in Synapse Function
The remodeling of synapses is a fundamental mechanism for information storage and processing in the brain. During brain development, and in response to learningrelated activity, synapses undergo remarkable structural changes, including growth, shrinkage, and elimination. Such structural plasticity provides a physical basis for enduring changes in neural circuits that are mediated by alterations...
متن کاملHydrocarbon contaminated water remediation using a locally constructed multi-stage bioreactor incorporated with media filtration
The present study investigated the coupling effect of biodegradation and media filtration in treating hydrocarbon contaminated water. The study recorded reductions in total petroleum hydrocarbon, total dissolved solids, turbidity and microbial load. The study was essentially a simulated pump and treat process that involved the pumping of hydrocarbon contaminated water for treatment in a locally...
متن کاملThe Ubiquitin Proteasome System Acutely Regulates Presynaptic Protein Turnover and Synaptic Efficacy
BACKGROUND The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) mediates regulated protein degradation and provides a mechanism for closely controlling protein abundance in spatially restricted domains within cells. We hypothesized that the UPS may acutely determine the local concentration of key regulatory proteins at neuronal synapses as a means for locally modulating synaptic efficacy and the strength of n...
متن کاملIn vivo imaging of Drosophila larval neuromuscular junctions to study synapse assembly.
In the past decade, a significant number of proteins involved in the developmental assembly and maturation of synapses have been identified. However, detailed knowledge of the molecular processes underlying developmental synapse assembly is still sparse. Here, we discuss an approach that makes extended in vivo imaging of selected proteins in live Drosophila larvae feasible at a single-synapse r...
