چکیده
Proand mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) activate two distinct receptors: p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) and TrkB. Mature BDNF facilitates hippocampal synaptic potentiation through TrkB. Here we report that proBDNF, by activating p75NTR, facilitates hippocampal long-term depression (LTD). Electron microscopy showed that p75NTR localized in dendritic spines, in addition to afferent terminals, of CA1 neurons. Deletion of p75NTR in mice selectively impaired the NMDA receptor–dependent LTD, without affecting other forms of synaptic plasticity. p75NTR2/2 mice also showed a decrease in the expression of NR2B, an NMDA receptor subunit uniquely involved in LTD. Activation of p75NTR by proBDNF enhanced NR2B-dependent LTD and NR2B-mediated synaptic currents. These results show a crucial role for proBDNF-p75NTR signaling in LTD and its potential mechanism, and together with the finding that mature BDNF promotes synaptic potentiation, suggest a bidirectional regulation of synaptic plasticity by proBDNF and mature BDNF.

متن کاملThe role of the invariant His-1069 in folding and function of the Wilson's disease protein, the human copper-transporting ATPase ATP7B.
The copper-transporting ATPase ATP7B is essential for normal distribution of copper in human cells. Mutations in ATP7B lead to Wilson's disease, a severe disorder with neurological and hepatic manifestations. One of the most common disease mutations, a H1069Q substitution, causes intracellular mislocalization of ATP7B (the Wilson's disease protein, WNDP). His-1069 is located in the nucleotide-b...
متن کاملEnhanced Cardiomyocyte DNA Synthesis During Myocardial Hypertrophy in Mice
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the appearance of benign tumors in multiple organs, including the heart. Disease progression is accompanied by homozygous mutation at 1 of 2 loci (designated TSC1 or TSC2), leading to the suggestion that these genes function as tumor suppressors. In this study, we generated a series of TSC2 cDNAs in which one or more s...
متن کاملCooperativity: a competition of definitions
Cooperativity as a concept is easy to grasp intuitively, but surprisingly hard to define. Two recent papers shed light on the issue and continue the debate on how best to define cooperative binding.
