This study characterizes the differential targeting of recently
synthesized immediate early gene (IEG) mRNAs to neuronal cell bodies
versus dendrites and tests the hypothesis that this targeting is based
on signals in the encoded proteins. A single electroconvulsive seizure
induces the expression of a number of IEG mRNAs in granule cells of the
dentate gyrus. Most of these IEG mRNAs remain in the cell body,
including two that are characterized in the present study (the mRNAs
for NGFI-A and COX-2). In contrast, the mRNA for Arc
moved rapidly into dendrites at an apparent rate of ~300 µm/hr.
Inhibiting protein synthesis with cycloheximide did not disrupt the
differential mRNA sorting, demonstrating that the differential
targeting of mRNAs is not dependent on translation.
Key words:
