Hsc70 chaperone activity is required for the cytosolic slow axonal transport of synapsin.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the transport of synapsin, a protein vital for neuronal function, through the axon, focusing on its formation into cargo complexes.
- Using advanced techniques like mass spectrometry and superresolution microscopy, researchers revealed that synapsin interacts with chaperone proteins, particularly Hsc70, in these complexes.
- Inhibition of Hsc70's activity was found to disrupt synapsin transport and organization, suggesting Hsc70 plays a crucial role in assembling these protein complexes for effective transport in neurons.

Induction of the rare readthrough variant of acetylcholinesterase (AChE-R) by an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor or by stress was tested in four mouse strains that differ in their behavioural profiles on tests of anxiety and depression. BALB/C, C57Bl/6, C3H/He and CD-1 mouse strains were tested in the elevated plus maze in two sessions, separated by 48h. All strains, except CD-1, showed the expected reduction in open arm exploration on the second session.

In Stroop matching tasks, participants indicate whether the color of an object matches the meaning of a color word printed in color. Previously in this journal, Luo (1999) concluded that interference between two incongruent representations of the same attribute (ink color) occurs prior to the response stage. However, this conclusion was based on questionable data analysis.
