Specific mRNAs are transported to dendrites where their translation may modify synaptic plasticity. In this issue of Neuron, Kanai et al. use affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify a large number of new factors that associate with kinesin, a molecular motor, and employ siRNA technology to demonstrate their importance for RNA transport in neurons.
特定的信使核糖核酸(mRNA)被转运至树突,在那里它们的翻译可能会改变突触可塑性。在本期《神经元》杂志中,金井等人利用亲和层析法和质谱分析法,鉴定出大量与分子马达驱动蛋白相关的新因子,并运用小干扰RNA(siRNA)技术来证明它们对神经元中RNA转运的重要性。
