There is increasing evidence that certain mRNAs are present in
dendrites and can be translated there. The present study uses two
strategies to evaluate whether dendrites also possess the machinery for
protein glycosylation. First, precursor labeling techniques were used
in conjunction with autoradiography to visualize glycosyltransferase
activities that are characteristic of the rough endoplasmic reticulum
(RER) (mannose) or the Golgi apparatus (GA) (galactose and fucose) in
dendrites that had been separated from their cell bodies and in intact
neurons treated with brefeldin A or low temperature. Second,
immunocytochemical techniques were used to define the subcellular
distribution of proteins that are considered markers of the RER
(ribophorin I) and GA (p58, -mannosidase II,
galactosyltransferase, and TGN38/41). Autoradiographic analysis
revealed that isolated dendrites incorporated sugar precursors in
a tunicamycin-sensitive and protein synthesis-dependent manner.
Moreover, when intact neurons were pulse-labeled with
3H-labeled sugars at low temperature or after treatment
with brefeldin A, labeling was distributed over proximal and sometimes
distal dendrites. Immunolabeling for RER markers was predominantly
localized in cell bodies but extended for a considerable distance into
dendrites of all neurons. Immunolabeling for GA markers was confined to
the cell body in ~70% of the neurons, but in 30% of the neurons,
the staining extended into proximal and middle dendrites. These results
indicate that the machinery for glycosylation extends well into
dendrites in many neurons.
