Figure 1 Regulation of Dendritic Kv1.1 Translation by Synaptic Activity Cartoon showing that Kv1.1 mRNAs are transported from the neuronal soma into the dendrite within granules and/or through association with RNA binding protein complexes. Translation occurs upon association of mRNAs with ribosomes at or near synaptic sites, and their subsequent association with ER membranes. On the right-hand side is the local situation near an active synapse, where NMDA receptor-mediated suppression of Kv1.1 translation occurs through the PI3 kinase-mTOR pathway. In contrast, near inactive synapses (left-hand side) when the mTOR pathway is not active the local synthesis of Kv1.1 protein is permitted.
