RNA trafficking and translation in neurons John Carson
PSD and RNA granule constitute a bipartite positive feedback system to convert ephemeral electrical stimulation at the synapse into enduring biochemical changes in the spine postsynaptic density PKM MAP1B ARC MAP2 signaling synthesis RNA granule RNA granule NG FMRP CaMKII TOG hnRNP A2 RNA FMRP
translational output from individual RNA granules is bursty DHPG MAP1B PKM ARC MAP2 NG FMRP CaMKII
Stochastic simulation of bursty translation requires initiation rates > 0.3/s A2RE protein
intact TOG protein is necessary and sufficient for granule assembly and bursty translation D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 fast slow MAP1B PKM ARC MAP2 NG FMRP CaMKII TOG is a structural catalyst for translation
