Activity-dependent polyadenylation in neurons
25 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Activity-dependent changes in protein synthesis modify synaptic efficacy. One mechanism that regulates mRNA translation in the synapto-dendritic compartment is cytoplasmic polyadenylation, a process controlled by CPEB, the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE)-specific RNA binding protein. In neurons, very few mRNAs are known CPEB substrates, and none appear to be responsible for the effects on plasticity...
