    Abstract De novo protein synthesis is required for long-term memory consolidation. Dynamic regulation of protein synthesis occurs via a complex interplay of translation factors and modulators. Many components of the protein synthesis machinery have been targeted either pharmacologically or genetically to establish its requirement for memory. The combination of ligand/light-gating and genetic strategies, that is, chemogenetics and optogenetics, has begun to reveal the spatiotemporal resolution of protein synthesis in specific cell types during memory consolidation. This review summarizes current knowledge of the macroscopic and microscopic neural substrates for protein synthesis in memory consolidation. In addition, we highlight future directions for determining the localization and timing of de novo protein synthesis for memory consolidation with tools that permit unprecedented spatiotemporal precision.

    Abstract The symbiont Vibrio fischeri uses motility to colonize its host. In numerous bacterial species, motility is negatively controlled by cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP), which is produced by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) with GGDEF domains and degraded by phosphodiesterases with either EAL or HD-GYP domains. To begin to decode the functions of the 50 Vibrio fischeri genes with GGDEF, EAL, and/or HD-GYP domains, we deleted each gene and assessed each mutant's migration through tryptone broth salt (TBS) soft agar medium containing or lacking magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca), which are known to influence V. fischeri motility. We identified 6, 13, and 16 mutants with altered migration in TBS-Mg, TBS, and TBS-Ca soft agar, respectively, a result that underscores the importance of medium conditions in assessing gene function. A biosensor-based assay revealed that Mg and Ca affected c-di-GMP levels negatively and positively, respectively; the severe decrease in c-di-GMP caused by Mg addition correlates with its strong positive impact on bacterial migration.

    Abstract The protein kinase mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is one of the primary triggers for initiating cap-dependent translation. Amongst its functions, mTORC1 phosphorylates eIF4E-binding proteins (4E-BPs), which prevents them from binding to eIF4E and thereby enables translation initiation. mTORC1 signaling is required for multiple forms of protein synthesis-dependent synaptic plasticity and various forms of long-term memory (LTM), including associative threat memory. However, the approaches used thus far to target mTORC1 and its effectors, such as pharmacological inhibitors or genetic knockouts, lack fine spatial and temporal control. The development of a conditional and inducible eIF4E knockdown mouse line partially solved the issue of spatial control, but still lacked optimal temporal control to study memory consolidation. Here, we have designed a novel optogenetic tool (Opto4E-BP) for cell type-specific, light-dependent regulation of eIF4E in the brain. We show that light-activation of Opto4E-BP decreases protein synthesis in HEK cells and primary mouse neurons.

    Abstract Neuropeptides can exert volume modulation in neuronal networks, which account for a well-calibrated and fine-tuned regulation that depends on the sensory and behavioral contexts. For example, oxytocin (OT) and oxytocin receptor (OTR) trigger a signaling pattern encompassing intracellular cascades, synaptic plasticity, gene expression, and network regulation, that together function to increase the signal-to-noise ratio for sensory-dependent stress/threat and social responses. Activation of OTRs in emotional circuits within the limbic forebrain is necessary to acquire stress/threat responses. When emotional memories are retrieved, OTR-expressing cells act as gatekeepers of the threat response choice/discrimination. OT signaling has also been implicated in modulating social-exposure elicited responses in the neural circuits within the limbic forebrain. In this review, we describe the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the neuromodulation by OT, and how OT signaling in specific neural circuits and cell populations mediate stress/threat and social behaviors. OT and downstream signaling cascades are heavily implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by emotional and social dysregulation. Thus, a mechanistic understanding of downstream cellular effects of OT in relevant cell types and neural circuits can help design effective intervention techniques for a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders.

    Abstract A major issue in neuroscience is the poor translatability of research results from preclinical studies in animals to clinical outcomes. Comparative neuroscience can overcome this barrier by studying multiple species to differentiate between species-specific and general mechanisms of neural circuit functioning. Targeted manipulation of neural circuits often depends on genetic dissection, and use of this technique has been restricted to only a few model species, limiting its application in comparative research. However, ongoing advances in genomics make genetic dissection attainable in a growing number of species. To demonstrate the potential of comparative gene editing approaches, we developed a viral-mediated CRISPR/Cas9 strategy that is predicted to target the oxytocin receptor (

    Abstract Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent illness that can be precipitated by acute or chronic stress. Studies of patients with Wolfram syndrome and carriers have identified Wfs1 mutations as causative for MDD. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is known to be involved in depression and behavioral resilience, although the cell types and circuits in the mPFC that moderate depressive behaviors in response to stress have not been determined. Here, we report that deletion of Wfs1 from layer 2/3 pyramidal cells impairs the ability of the mPFC to suppress stress-induced depressive behaviors, and results in hyperactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and altered accumulation of important growth and neurotrophic factors. Our data identify superficial layer 2/3 pyramidal cells as critical for moderation of stress in the context of depressive behaviors and suggest that dysfunction in these cells may contribute to the clinical relationship between stress and depression.

    Abstract New protein synthesis is known to be required for the consolidation of memories, yet existing methods of blocking translation lack spatiotemporal precision and cell-type specificity, preventing investigation of cell-specific contributions of protein synthesis. Here we developed a combined knock-in mouse and chemogenetic approach for cell-type-specific drug-inducible protein synthesis inhibition that enables rapid and reversible phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α, leading to inhibition of general translation by 50% in vivo. We use cell-type-specific drug-inducible protein synthesis inhibition to show that targeted protein synthesis inhibition pan-neuronally and in excitatory neurons in the lateral amygdala (LA) impaired long-term memory. This could be recovered with artificial chemogenetic activation of LA neurons, although at the cost of stimulus generalization. Conversely, genetically reducing phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α in excitatory neurons in the LA enhanced memory strength but reduced memory fidelity and behavioral flexibility. Our findings provide evidence for a cell-specific translation program during consolidation of threat memories.

    Abstract Comparative analysis can provide important insights into complex biological systems. As demonstrated in the accompanying paper, translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) permits comprehensive studies of translated mRNAs in genetically defined cell populations after physiological perturbations. To establish the generality of this approach, we present translational profiles for 24 CNS cell populations and identify known cell-specific and enriched transcripts for each population. We report thousands of cell-specific mRNAs that were not detected in whole-tissue microarray studies and provide examples that demonstrate the benefits deriving from comparative analysis. To provide a foundation for further biological and in silico studies, we provide a resource of 16 transgenic mouse lines, their corresponding anatomic characterization, and translational profiles for cell types from a variety of central nervous system structures. This resource will enable a wide spectrum of molecular and mechanistic studies of both well-known and previously uncharacterized neural cell populations.
