Previous research has suggested that cGMP-dependent protein kinases
(cGKs) may play a role in long-term potentiation in hippocampus, but
their site of action has been unknown. We examined this question at
synapses between pairs of hippocampal neurons in dissociated cell
culture. Injection of a specific peptide inhibitor of cGK into the
presynaptic but not the postsynaptic neuron blocked long-lasting potentiation induced by tetanic stimulation of the presynaptic neuron.
As controls, injection of a scrambled peptide or a peptide inhibitor of
cAMP-dependent protein kinase into either neuron did not block
potentiation. Conversely, injection of the isozyme of cGK type I
into the presynaptic but not the postsynaptic neuron produced
activity-dependent potentiation that did not require NMDA receptor
activation. Evidence from Western blots, reverse transcription-PCR,
activity assays, and immunocytochemistry indicates that endogenous cGK
type I is present in the neurons, including presynaptic terminals.
These results support the idea that cGK plays an important presynaptic
role during the induction of long-lasting potentiation in hippocampal neurons.
Key words:
