Memory, Synapse Stability, and β-Adducin
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue of Neuron, two studies by Pielage et al. and Bednarek and Caroni suggest that the cytoskeleton regulator β-Adducin provides an activity-dependent switch controlling synapse disassembly and assembly at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and the mouse hippocampus. In mice, the β-Adducin switch is required for the improvement of learning and memory induced by enriched environments.

β-Adducin Is Required for Stable Assembly of New Synapses and Improved Memory upon Environmental Enrichment
Learning is correlated with the assembly of new synapses, but the roles of synaptogenesis processes in memory are poorly understood. Here, we show that mice lacking β-Adducin fail to assemble new synapses upon enhanced plasticity and exhibit diminished long-term hippocampal memory upon environmental enrichment. Enrichment-enhanced the disassembly and assembly of dynamic subpopulations of synaps...
متن کاملHts/Adducin Controls Synaptic Elaboration and Elimination
Neural development requires both synapse elaboration and elimination, yet relatively little is known about how these opposing activities are coordinated. Here, we provide evidence Hts/Adducin can serve this function. We show that Drosophila Hts/Adducin is enriched both pre- and postsynaptically at the NMJ. We then demonstrate that presynaptic Hts/Adducin is necessary and sufficient to control t...
متن کاملRostafuroxin protects from podocyte injury and proteinuria induced by adducin genetic variants and ouabain.
Glomerulopathies are important causes of morbidity and mortality. Selective therapies that address the underlying mechanisms are still lacking. Recently, two mechanisms, mutant β-adducin and ouabain, have been found to be involved in glomerular podocytopathies and proteinuria through nephrin downregulation. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate whether rostafuroxin, a novel a...
متن کاملSIK1 localizes with nephrin in glomerular podocytes and its polymorphism predicts kidney injury.
Mutant α-adducin and endogenous ouabain levels exert a causal role in hypertension by affecting renal Na-K ATPase. In addition, mutant β-adducin is involved in glomerular damage through nephrin down-regulation. Recently, the salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) has been shown to exert a permissive role on mutant α-adducin effects on renal Na-K ATPase activity involved in blood pressure (BP) regulatio...
متن کاملDARPP-32 interaction with adducin may mediate rapid environmental effects on striatal neurons
Environmental enrichment has multiple effects on behaviour, including modification of responses to psychostimulant drugs mediated by striatal neurons. However, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms are not known. Here we show that DARPP-32, a hub signalling protein in striatal neurons, interacts with adducins, which are cytoskeletal proteins that cap actin filaments' fast-growing end...
