The review links local synaptic translation and mRNA trafficking to synaptic activity and synaptic plasticity.
Quoted textsource-backed
Anchor source verified: the 1999 Neuron review ... is a concise review centered on dendritic/axonal RNA localization, translational control in synaptodendritic compartments, and links to synaptic plasticity.
The review's mechanistic space includes cis-elements, RNA-binding proteins, and RNA granule or mRNP transport complexes as contributors to dendritic targeting and translational control.
Quoted textsource-backed
Additional high-signal leads strongly cluster into four enrichment themes explicitly supported by discovered sources: (1) cis-elements and RNA-binding proteins that mediate dendritic targeting and translational repression/activation ... and (3) RNA granules/mRNP transport complexes as vehicles for localized translation.
The review synthesizes evidence that neuronal mRNAs are trafficked to synaptic or dendritic compartments and can be translated locally near synapses.
