There is a growing body of evidence that local protein synthesis
beneath synapses may provide a novel mechanism underlying plastic
phenomena. In vivo and in vitro
biochemical data show that dendrites can perform translation and
glycosylation. Using antibodies directed against the eukaryotic protein
synthetic machinery, we sought to identify the structures implicated in
nonperinuclear translation, namely dendritic and postsynaptic protein
synthesis. We performed a morphological and immunocytochemical analysis
of ventromedial horn rat spinal cord neurons using both light and electron microscopy.
We show at the cellular level that, in vivo, protein
synthesis macrocomplexes (ribosomes and eIF-2) as well as the
endomembranous system implicated in cotranslational and
posttranslational modifications (endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi
cisternae) penetrated some dendrites. Membrane-limited organelles of
different shape and size are present close to the postsynaptic
differentiations of most synapses, independently of their localization
on the neuronal surface. We demonstrate (1) that some cisternae are
immunoreactive for antibodies against ribosomal proteins and eIF-2, and
(2) that markers of endoplasmic reticulum (BiP), intermediate
compartment, and Golgi complex (rab1, CTR433, TGN38) label subsets of
these subsynaptic organelles.
Therefore, these findings indicate that synapses are equipped with the
essential elements required for the synthesis and insertion of a well
folded and glycosylated transmembrane protein.
