In hippocampal neurons, certain mRNAs have been found in dendrites
(), and their localization and translation have been
implicated in synaptic plasticity (). One attractive
candidate to achieve transport of mRNAs into dendrites is Staufen
(Stau), a double-stranded RNA-binding protein, which plays a
pivotal role in mRNA transport, localization, and translation in
Drosophila (). Using antibodies raised
against a peptide located in the RNA-binding domain IIa and a
polyclonal antibody raised against a recently cloned human Staufen
homolog, we identify a 65 kDa rat homolog in cultured rat hippocampal
neurons. In agreement with the exclusive somatodendritic localization
of mRNAs in these cells, we find that Staufen is restricted to the same
domain. By immunoelectron microscopy, we show enrichment of the
mammalian homolog of Stau (mStau) in the vicinity of smooth endoplasmic reticulum and microtubules near synaptic contacts. Finally,
the association of the mStau with neuronal mRNAs is suggested by the
colocalization with ribonucleoprotein particles specifically in distal
dendrites known to contain mRNA, ribosomes, and translation factors
(). These results suggest a role for mStau in the
polarized transport and localization of mRNAs in mammalian neurons.
Key words:
