| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Newly synthesized proteins are thought to reconstitute PSD by substituting PSD components during establishment of sustained synaptic plasticity. We investigated transport from dendrites into spines of synaptic protein involved in the PSD reconstitution such as Homer1-a, and found 2 pathways. NMDA receptor-dependent Ca2+ influx triggered the synaptic activity-dependent transport, which depended on protein kinase G and was available for Homer1-a, but not for EGFP. The other is the D-serine pathway. D-serine activated transport of both EGFP and Homer1-a even when activity-dependent transport was inhibited. It was blocked by D-serine site antagonists and ketamine, which was respectively restored by application of D-serine. We conclude that NMDA receptor has a constitutive activity by which D-serine regulates protein transport in spines, and suggested that D-serine regulates protein-protein interaction between NMDA receptor and intraspinal protein transport components.
