The Regulation of Synaptic Protein Turnover

Open access
Alvarez-Castelao, Beatriz, Schuman, Erin M.·2015·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

Emerging evidence indicates that protein synthesis and degradation are necessary for the remodeling of synapses. These two processes govern cellular protein turnover, are tightly regulated, and are modulated by neuronal activity in time and space. The anisotropic anatomy of the neurons presents a challenge for the study of protein turnover, but the understanding of protein turnover in neurons and its modulation in response to activity can help us to unravel the fine-tuned changes that occur at synapses in response to activity. Here we review the key experimental evidence demonstrating the role of protein synthesis and degradation in synaptic plasticity, as well as the turnover rates of specific neuronal proteins.

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.
