项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We will characterize mechanisms through which TrkB regulates inhibitory synapse formation and maintenance in the cerebellum with the expectation that the insights obtained will prove important for understanding the role of TrkB in many regions of the brain. Extending our prior demonstrations that TrkB controls inhibitory synapse formation throughout the cerebellum and has important pre- and postsynaptic cell- autonomous roles, we will use high resolution stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) imaging to characterize the localizations of inhibitory synapse-associated cell surface and synaptic scaffold proteins and determine the effects of TrkB activation and inhibition on their presence at the synapse. Extending our recent observation that adult TrkB activity is required to maintain inhibitory synapses and that reactivation of TrkB signaling after earlier inhibition results in reappearance at the synapse of many synaptic proteins, we will examine the effects of adult TrkB inhibition and reactivation on the molecular composition of these synapses. Using cell culture we will examine in more detail the appearance and disappearance of proteins associated with the synapse following TrkB activation and inactivation. We shall determine whether TrkB functions in part through control of protein synthesis or turnover. We shall also examine the effects of TrkB activity on the kinetics of gephyrin stability, insertion and removal a synaptic sites in cell culture. Finally, we more critically examine our model that TrkB acts in par through control molecular assembly of the proteins that form the synaptic scaffold. We will determine the effects of TrkB activation and inactivation in vivo and in vitro on the distribution f gephyrin and other postsynaptic scaffold proteins in detergent soluble and resistant fractions, the interactions of these proteins with binding partners and on phosphorylation and other post-translational modifications.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们将表征TRKB调节小脑抑制性突触形成和维持的机制，并期望获得的见解对于理解TRKB在大脑许多地区的作用而言至关重要。 Extending our prior demonstrations that TrkB controls inhibitory synapse formation throughout the cerebellum and has important pre- and postsynaptic cell- autonomous roles, we will use high resolution stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) imaging to characterize the localizations of inhibitory synapse-associated cell surface and synaptic scaffold proteins and determine the effects of TrkB activation and inhibition on their presence at the突触。扩展了我们最近的观察结果，即需要成年TRKB活性以维持抑制性突触，并且在较早的抑制作用后对TRKB信号的重新激活导致许多突触蛋白突触再次出现，我们将研究成人TRKB抑制和耐药对这些突触分子成分的影响。使用细胞培养，我们将更详细地研究与TRKB激活和失活后突触相关的蛋白质的外观和消失。我们应确定TRKB是否部分通过控制蛋白质合成或周转来确定。我们还将检查TRKB活性对细胞培养中突触部位的gephin蛋白稳定性，插入和去除的动力学的影响。最后，我们更严格地研究了我们的模型，即TRKB通过形成突触支架的蛋白质的对照分子组装在PAR中起作用。我们将确定TRKB激活和体外灭活的影响以及在洗涤剂可溶性和抗性馏分中的分布F Gephyrin和其他突触后支架蛋白，这些蛋白质与结合伴侣以及磷酸化伴侣以及其他转移后的磷酸化和其他转移性修饰的相互作用。
