Abstract

Genetic deletion of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) has been shown to enhance mGluR-dependent long-term depression (LTD). Herein, we demonstrate that mGluR-LTD induces a transient, translation-dependent increase in FMRP that is rapidly degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Moreover, proteasome inhibitors abolished mGluR-LTD, and LTD was absent in mice that overexpress human FMRP. Neither translation nor proteasome inhibitors blocked the augmentation of mGluR-LTD in FMRP-deficient mice. In addition, mGluR-LTD is associated with rapid increases in the protein levels of FMRP target mRNAs in wild-type mice. Interestingly, the basal levels of these proteins were elevated and their synthesis was improperly regulated during mGluR-LTD in FMRP-deficient mice. Our findings indicate that hippocampal mGluR-LTD requires the rapid synthesis and degradation of FMRP and that mGluR-LTD triggers the synthesis of FMRP binding mRNAs. These findings indicate that the translation, ubiquitination, and proteolysis of FMRP functions as a dynamic regulatory system for controlling synaptic plasticity.

  • Proteasome inhibition alters basal synaptic transmission, long-term potentiation (LTP), and long-term depression (LTD) in mammals.

    “In mammals, studies have shown that proteasome inhibition alters basal synaptic transmission, long-term potentiation (LTP), and long-term depression (LTD; Deng and Lei, 2007; Fonseca et al., 2006; Hou et al., 2006; Karpova et al., 2006).”

    From Altered Phosphorylation of the Proteasome Subunit Rpt6 Has Minimal Impact on Synaptic Plasticity and Learning (2021) · cites this paper as Hou et al., 2006

    The Results (page not specified) show that proteasome inhibitors blocked the late phase of mGluR-dependent LTD in mouse hippocampal slices. The cited paper does not show that proteasome inhibition alters LTP or basal synaptic transmission; its comparison of basal transmission concerns mouse genotypes, not inhibitor treatment.

  • Abnormally high Arc expression in Fmr1 knockout mice may be responsible for enhanced mGluR-LTD and may explain why their LTD is independent of new mRNA translation.

    “This abnormally high level of Arc expression in Fmr1 knockout mice may be responsible for the enhanced mGluR–LTD observed in these animals and might explain, in part, why their LTD is independent of new mRNA translation62.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
