In neurons, several mRNAs are selectively delivered to dendritic
domains where they are presumably translated by local protein synthetic
machinery. Although electron microscopy has identified polyribosomes in
dendrites, in particular in postsynaptic dendritic compartments, the
functional composition of the local protein synthetic apparatus and the
scope of its translational capacity have not been analyzed. To
ascertain the translational competence of dendrites, we have probed
hippocampal neurons in primary culture for various integral and
associated factors of the translational apparatus. We report here that
dendrites of such neurons are equipped with a spectrum of translational
machinery components, including ribosomes, tRNAs, initiation and
elongation factors, and elements of the cotranslational signal
recognition mechanism. These components are differentially and
nonuniformly distributed in dendritic arbors. Their dendritic location
illustrates the soma-independent potential of dendrites to synthesize
selected proteins in local domains.
Key words:
dendrite;
dendritic RNA;
hippocampal neurons;
local protein synthesis;
ribosomes;
translational apparatus;
immunocytochemistry;
in situ hybridization
