These modifications are achieved by the incorporation into individual synapses of proteins that modulate the efficiency of intercellular signal transmission. The blueprints for the synthesis of these molecules, in the form of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), are delivered to active synapses by a dedicated transport system. An international team led by LMU biochemist Professor Michael Kiebler has now demonstrated that a key factor involved in this transport binds specifically to regions of its mRNA cargo that lack protein-coding information, and that release of the RNAs to enable protein synthesis is dependent on synaptic activity. This localized delivery system also enables particular synapses to be specifically modified without concomitant alteration of their neighbors.
