Ubiquitin C-Terminal Hydrolase Is an Immediate-Early Gene Essential for Long-Term Facilitation in Aplysia

TL;DR: Through induction of the hydrolase and the resulting up-regulation of the ubiquitin pathway, learning recruits a regulated form of proteolysis that removes inhibitory constraints on long-term memory storage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulatory subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinases are degraded after conjugation to ubiquitin: a molecular mechanism underlying long-term synaptic plasticity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that degradation is initiated by cAMP, which causes the holoenzyme to dissociate and, further, that the altered R-to-C ratio in Aplysia sensory neurons is maintained in long-term facilitation by newly synthesized proteins that help target R subunits for accelerated degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms for generating the autonomous cAMP-dependent protein kinase required for long-term facilitation in Aplysia.

TL;DR: The formation of a persistently active cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is critical for establishing long-term synaptic facilitation (LTF) in Aplysia and appears to be a key function of proteasomes in LTF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ubiquitin and the synapse.

TL;DR: The myriad ways in which ubiquitin functions to sculpt synapses during development, and to remodel synapses for the acquisition and storage of memory are discussed.
