Project description:Ongoing neuronal activity during development and plasticity acts to refine synaptic connections and contributes to the induction of plasticity and ultimately long term memory storage. Activity-dependent post-transcriptional control of mRNAs occurs through transport to axonal and dendritic compartments, local translation, and mRNA stability. We have identified a mechanism that contributes to activity-dependent regulation of mRNA stability during synaptic plasticity. In this study we demonstrate rapid, post-transtriptional control over process-enriched mRNAs by neuronal activity. Systematic analysis of the 3'-UTRs of destablized transcripts, identifies enrichment in sequence motifs corresponding to miRNA binding sites. The miRNAs that were identified, miR-326-3p/miR-330-5p, miR-485-5p, miR-666-3p, and miR-761 are predicted to regulate networks of genes important in plasticity and development. We find that these miRNAs are developmentally regulated in the hippocampus, many increasing by postnatal day 14. We further show that miR-485-5p controls NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, tau expression, and axonal development in hippocampal neurons. miRNAs can function at the synapse to rapidly control and affect short- and long-term changes at the synapse. These processes likely occur during refinement of synaptic connections and contribute to the induction of plasticity and learning and memory. 4 samples analysed, 3 coverslips pooled per sample. Mouse DRG neuron cell bodies and axons were separated in multicompartment cell cultures allowing electrical stimulation of axons, growing under a high-resistance partition between compartments, through platinum electrodes in the lid of the culture dish (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9295372)

Project description:4E-BP (eIF4E-BP) represses translation initiation by binding to the 5’cap-binding protein eIF4E and inhibiting its activity. Although 4E-BP has been shown to be important in growth control, stress response, cancer, neuronal activity and mammalian circadian rhythms, it is not understood how it preferentially represses a subset of mRNAs. We successfully used hyperTRIBE (Targets of RNA-binding proteins identified by editing) to identify in vivo 4E-BP mRNA targets in both Drosophila and mammals under conditions known to activate 4E-BP. The protein associates with specific mRNAs, and ribosome profiling data show that mTOR inhibition changes the translational efficiency of 4E-BP TRIBE targets compared to non-targets. In both systems, these targets have specific motifs and are enriched in translation-related pathways, which correlate well with the known activity of 4E-BP and suggest that it modulates the binding specificity of eIF4E and contributes to mTOR translational specificity.

Project description:Synaptic dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BP). In this study, we used quantitative mass-spectrometry to carry out deep and unbiased profiling of the proteome of synapses purified from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of 35 controls and 35 cases each with SCZ or BP. Compared to controls, SCZ and BP synapses showed substantial and similar proteomic alterations. Network and gene set enrichment analyses revealed upregulation of proteins associated with autophagy and certain vesicle transport pathways, and downregulation of proteins related to synaptic, mitochondrial, and ribosomal function in the synapses of individuals with SCZ or BP. We also uncovered evidence for dysregulation of some of the same pathways (e.g., upregulation of vesicle transport, downregulation of mitochondrial and ribosomal proteins) in the synaptic proteome of mutant mice deficient in Akap11, a recently discovered risk gene for both SCZ and BP. Our work provides novel biological insights and hypotheses into molecular dysfunction at the synapse in SCZ and BP and serves as a resource for understanding the pathophysiology of these debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders.

Project description:Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, have emerged as crucial regulators of synaptic refinement and therefore wiring precision. However, whether the remodeling of distinct synapses during development is mediated by specialized microglia is unknown. Here, using in vivo two-photon imaging, we show that GABA-receptive microglia selectively interact with inhibitory synapses during a critical window of mouse postnatal development. GABA initiates a transcriptional synapse remodeling program within these specialized microglia, which in turn sculpt inhibitory connectivity without impacting excitatory synapses. Ablation of GABAB receptors within microglia impairs this process and leads to stereotyped repetitive behavior and hyperactivity. These findings demonstrate that distinct microglia differentially engage with specific synapse types during development.

Project description:The probability of synaptic vesicle (SV) fusion in response to an action potential, termed vesicular release probability (Pr), is a stochastic but tightly regulated process. SNARE proteins are the molecular executors of SV fusion and therefore, key modulators of Pr. The non-canonical SNARE VAMP4 is a cargo for activity-dependent bulk endocytosis (ADBE), a major SV retrieval mode operating during intense neuronal activity. Using optical imaging in primary neuronal cultures and slice electrophysiology from wild-type and VAMP4 knockout mice, we reveal that modulation of VAMP4 copy number on SVs is an important mechanism to regulate Pr. The control of VAMP4 copy number is determined by its clearance from axons via the endolysosomal system after its retrieval by ADBE. This activity-dependent regulatory mechanism enables synapses to 1) adapt their Pr dynamically to changing input and 2) couple regulation of synaptic strength to neuronal proteostasis.
