Presynaptic Plasticity Found in Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue of Neuron, Younts et al. (2016) demonstrate that activation of presynaptic CB1 receptors by retrograde endocannabinoid signaling stimulates protein synthesis in axon terminals to induce long-term depression of hippocampal inhibitory transmission.

Endocannabinoid-dependent long-term depression in a nociceptive synapse requires coordinated presynaptic and postsynaptic transcription and translation.
Endocannabinoids (eCBs) play an important role in long-term regulation of synaptic signaling in both vertebrates and invertebrates. In this study, the role of transcription- and translation-dependent processes in presynaptic versus postsynaptic neurons was examined during eCB-mediated synaptic plasticity in the CNS of the leech. Low-frequency stimulation (LFS) of non-nociceptive afferents elici...
متن کاملDifferential Requirement for Protein Synthesis in Presynaptic Unmuting and Muting in Hippocampal Glutamate Terminals
Synaptic function and plasticity are crucial for information processing within the nervous system. In glutamatergic hippocampal neurons, presynaptic function is silenced, or muted, after strong or prolonged depolarization. This muting is neuroprotective, but the underlying mechanisms responsible for muting and its reversal, unmuting, remain to be clarified. Using cultured rat hippocampal neuron...
متن کاملPresynaptic Translation: Stepping Out of the Postsynaptic Shadow
The ability of the nervous system to convert transient experiences into long-lasting structural changes at the synapse relies upon protein synthesis. It has become increasingly clear that a critical subset of this synthesis occurs within the synaptic compartment. While this process has been extensively characterized in the postsynaptic compartment, the contribution of local translation to presy...
متن کاملPresynaptic Protein Synthesis Is Required for Long-Term Plasticity of GABA Release
Long-term changes of neurotransmitter release are critical for proper brain function. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes are poorly understood. While protein synthesis is crucial for the consolidation of postsynaptic plasticity, whether and how protein synthesis regulates presynaptic plasticity in the mature mammalian brain remain unclear. Here, using paired whole-cell r...
متن کاملThe role of protein synthesis in striatal long-term depression.
Long-term depression (LTD) at the corticostriatal synapse is postsynaptically induced but presynaptically expressed, the depression being a result of retrograde endocannabinoid signaling that activates presynaptic cannabinoid CB1 receptors and reduces the probability of glutamate release. To study the role of protein synthesis in striatal LTD, we used a striatum-only preparation in which the pr...
