Protein turn over at the synapse and the maintenance of robust neuronal communication. KU Leuven
Synaptic contacts are often located very far away from their cell bodies and they are largely independently coping with the unfolded, dysfunctional proteins that form as a result of repeated reuse and cellular stress. Our hypothesis is that synaptic terminals have adopted specific mechanisms to retain activity over their long lives. Engulfment of cytoplasm by autophagy and degradation would constitute an ideal mechanism to be involved in the ...
