Resumen
This Editorial highlights a study by Zimmermann and coworkers in the current issue of Journal of Neurochemistry. The authors' link suppression of PKR-like endoplasmatic reticulum kinase (PERK) activity to eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) dephosphorylation and mTORC1-independent high-frequency stimulation (HFS)-induced long-term potentiation (LTP) in acute hippocampal slices from PERK forebrain conditional knockout mice. The results suggest that functional interaction between the signaling pathways controlling different phases of the mRNA translation process is necessary for long-term plasticity in the hippocampus.
