In this study we investigated the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in
associative learning of Apis mellifera. Changes in PKC activity induced by olfactory conditioning were measured in the antennal lobes, a brain structure involved in associative learning. Multiple conditioning trials inducing a memory different from that
induced by a single conditioning trial specifically cause an increase
in PKC activity. This increase begins 1 hr after conditioning, lasts up
to 3 d, and is attributable to an increased level of constitutive
PKC. The increased level of constitutive PKC consists of an early
proteolysis-dependent phase and a late phase that requires RNA and
protein synthesis. Inhibition of the pathways resulting in constitutive
PKC selectively impairs distinct phases of multiple-trial induced
memory. The inhibition of the proteolytic mechanism has an instant
effect on an early phase of multiple-trial induced memory but does not
affect acquisition and the late phase of memory. Blocking of the
transient PKC activation during conditioning does not affect the
induction of memory formation. Thus, the constitutive PKC in the
antennal lobe seems to contribute to the early phase of memory that is
induced by multiple-trial conditioning.
