摘要
An individual neuron hosts about 10000 synapses in its expansive dendritic and axonal arbor. To support parallel information processing, major cell-biological machineries are decentralized to individual synapses, including the machinery for protein turnover. To measure the local protein synthesis and -degradation capacity, we counted the copy numbers of dendritic ribosomes and proteasomes via single-molecule localization microscopy. In combination with metabolic labeling and single-spine plasticity induction, we reveal the spatial specificity of activity-induced local protein synthesis. The single-molecule resolution further affords quantitative mapping of different proteasome assembly states and reveals a surprising abundance of free regulatory particles 19S in dendrites. These 'solitary' dendritic proteasome regulatory particles regulate synaptic transmission via atypical ubiquitin signaling of key synaptic proteins such as AMPA receptors. As such, synapses can use alternative machine formats to carry out different functions, akin to protein ‘moonlighting’.
