Research Abstract |
While we explored functional deficits in the newly made N-Shc and Grit/RICS double KO mice, we were unable to define a specific phenotype. However, in ShcB deficient mice, we found a unique change in cerebellar-dependent motor learning, which was associated with reduced long-term depression as well as a deficit in calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum store of Purkinje cells. We also examined a potential role of Mdm20, an auxiliary subunit of protein N-terminal acetyl transferase, and found that Mdm20 promotes polyQ aggregation via inhibiting autophagy through affecting serine-473 phosphorylation of AKT, an upstream kinase in the regulation of cytoplasmic proteostasis. These results suggest that neural enriched ShcB and Mdm20 play independent roles in neuronal synaptic plasticity and proteostasis, respectively.
