Determination of the Role of Synapse Associated Protein 97 (SAP97) in the Normal and Parkinsonian Striatum By
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a debilitating movement disorder associated with the death of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons. In addition to dopamine deficiency, abnormalities in glutamate and other receptors at striatal synapses have been reported. Synapse associated protein 97 (SAP97) is involved in regulation of glutamate receptor function. In the striatum of unilaterally-lesioned 6-OHDA rat model of PD, SAP97 levels are decreased in post synaptic density fraction, as well as in the whole striatum. I hypothesize that changes in striatal levels and subcellular distribution of SAP97 are responsible for abnormal neurotransmission in striatume and the motor symptoms of PD. GFP-tagged wild type SAP97 and SAP97 mutants were over-expressed in the striatum of 6-OHDAlesioned rat model of PD. A single 6.5 mg/kg dose of L-DOPA eliminated parkinsonism in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats over-expressing SAP97-GFP, whereas, three 6.5 mg/kg doses of L-DOPA negated parkinsonism in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats over-expressing SAP97-GFP and SAP97∆1-65-GFP. The over-expression of SAP97∆1-65-GFP enhanced parkinsonism in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats and blocked the antiparkinsonian effect of L-

Transsynaptic signaling by postsynaptic synapse-associated protein 97.
The molecular mechanisms by which postsynaptic modifications lead to precisely coordinated changes in presynaptic structure and function are primarily unknown. To address this issue, we examined the presynaptic consequences of postsynaptic expression of members of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase family of synaptic scaffolding proteins. Postsynaptic expression of synapse-associated prot...
متن کاملDifferential Changes in Postsynaptic Density Proteins in Postmortem Huntington's Disease and Parkinson's Disease Human Brains
NMDA and AMPA-type glutamate receptors and their bound membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) are critical for synapse development and plasticity. We hypothesised that these proteins may play a role in the changes in synapse function that occur in Huntington's disease (HD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). We performed immunohistochemical analysis of human postmortem brain tissue to examine...
متن کاملSynapse-associated protein-97 isoform-specific regulation of surface AMPA receptors and synaptic function in cultured neurons.
Members of the synapse-associated protein-97 (SAP97) family of scaffold proteins have been implicated as central organizers of synaptic junctions to build macromolecular signaling complexes around specific postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors. In this regard, SAP97 has been suggested to regulate the synaptic localization of glutamate receptor type 1 subunits of the AMPA-type glutamate recept...
متن کاملSynapse-associated protein 97 selectively associates with a subset of AMPA receptors early in their biosynthetic pathway.
The regulation of AMPA receptors at the postsynaptic membrane is a fundamental component of synaptic plasticity. In the hippocampus, the induction of long-term potentiation increases the delivery of GluR1, a major AMPA receptor subunit in hippocampal pyramidal neurons, to the synaptic plasma membrane through a mechanism that requires the PDZ binding domain of GluR1. Synapse-associated protein 9...
متن کاملFunctional expression of rat synapse-associated proteins SAP97 and SAP102 in Drosophila dlg-1 mutants: effects on tumor suppression and synaptic bouton structure
The synapse-associated proteins SAP97 and SAP102 are mammalian proteins that are structurally related to the Drosophila tumor suppressor protein DlgA. Previous analyses revealed that DlgA is essential for the integrity of epithelia and neuromuscular synapses. Here we show that synaptic bouton structure is severely affected in mutant larvae carrying the dlg-1(XI-2) allele. We have tested SAP97 a...
