Description:
Presynaptic axonal differentiation is essential for synapse formation and the establishment of neuronal circuits. However, the mechanisms that coordinate presynaptic development in the brain are largely unknown. We found that the major mitotic E3 ubiquitin ligase Cdc20-anaphase promoting complex (Cdc20-APC) regulates presynaptic differentiation in primary postmitotic mammalian neurons and in the rat cerebellar cortex. Cdc20-APC triggered the degradation of the transcription factor NeuroD2 and thereby promoted presynaptic differentiation. The NeuroD2 target gene encoding Complexin II, which acts locally at presynaptic sites, mediated the ability of NeuroD2 to suppress presynaptic differentiation. Thus, our findings define a Cdc20-APC ubiquitin signaling pathway that governs presynaptic development, which holds important implications for neuronal connectivity and plasticity in the brain.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2846784/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2846784/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yang, Yue -- Kim, Albert H -- Yamada, Tomoko -- Wu, Bei -- Bilimoria, Parizad M -- Ikeuchi, Yoshiho -- de la Iglesia, Nuria -- Shen, Jie -- Bonni, Azad -- F32 CA124028/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- NS041021/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS051255/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS041021/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS041021-06/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS041021-07/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS041021-08/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS051255/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS051255-02/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS051255-03/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS051255-04/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Oct 23;326(5952):575-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1177087.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19900895" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
