Li, W., Dubnau, J. (October 2012) A Prion-Mediated Mechanism for Memory Proposed in Drosophila. Neuron, 76 (2). pp. 260-262. ISSN 0896-6273
Abstract
Memories are remarkably persistent, but rely on transient signaling. The prion-like properties of CPEB suggested a solution to this problem. The paper by Krüttner et al. (2012) in this issue of Neuron demonstrates that the prion-like domain of Drosophila CPEB functions independently of its RNA-binding domain for memory.
