Two papers in Cell uncover reciprocal crosstalk of local translation and mitochondria in neurons. Rangaraju et al. (2019) observe tethered compartments of stable mitochondria in dendrites that provide a local energy supply for mRNA translation at synapses. Cioni et al. (2019) report a novel association of axonal RNA granules with Rab7a-late endosomes that provides a platform for local translation supporting mitochondria.
两篇发表在《细胞》上的论文揭示了神经元中局部翻译和线粒体的相互交流。Rangaraju 等人(2019 年)观察到树突中稳定的线粒体被束缚在隔间内,为突触处的 mRNA 翻译提供局部能量供应。Cioni 等人(2019 年)报告了一个新的轴突 RNA 颗粒与 Rab7a 晚期内体的关联,为支持线粒体的局部翻译提供了一个平台。
