TLDR
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.

Activity level controls postsynaptic composition and signaling via the ubiquitin-proteasome system

TL;DR: It is found that activity regulates postsynaptic composition and signaling through the ubiquitin-proteasome system, providing a mechanistic link between synaptic activity, protein turnover and the functional reorganization of synapses.

Effects of environmental enrichment on gene expression in the brain

TL;DR: expression of a large number of genes changes in response to enrichment training, many of which can be linked to neuronal structure, synaptic plasticity, and transmission and may play important roles in modulating learning and memory capacity.

Amyloid β-peptide inhibition of the PKA/CREB pathway and long-term potentiation: Reversibility by drugs that enhance cAMP signaling

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that amyloid β-peptide treatment of cultured hippocampal neurons leads to the inactivation of protein kinase A (PKA) and persistence of its regulatory subunit PKAIIα, suggesting that Αβ acts directly on the pathways involved in the formation of late LTP and agents that enhance the cAMP/PKA/CREB-signaling pathway have potential for the treatment of AD.

Inhibition of Proteasome Activities and Subunit-Specific Amino-Terminal Threonine Modification by Lactacystin

TL;DR: Lactacystin appears to modify covalently the highly conserved amino-terminal threonine of the mammalian proteasome subunit X (also called MB1), a close homolog of the LMP7 proteasom subunit encoded by the major histocompatibility complex and may have a catalytic role.
