Abstract
The maintenance of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 region of the hippocampus has been reported to require both a persistent increase in phosphorylation and the synthesis of new proteins. The increased activity of protein kinase C (PKC) during the maintenance phase of LTP may result from the formation of PKMζ, the constitutively active fragment of a specific PKC isozyme. To define the relationship among PKMζ, longterm EPSP responses, and the requirement for new protein synthesis, we examined the regulation of PKMζ after subthreshold stimulation that produced short-term potentiation (STP) and after suprathreshold stimulation by single and multiple tetanic trains that produced LTP. We found that, although no persistent increase in PKMζ followed STP, the degree of long-term EPSP potentiation was linearly correlated with the increase of PKMζ. The increase was first observed 10 min after a tetanus that induced LTP and lasted for at least 2 hr, in parallel with the persistence of EPSP enhancement. Both the maintenance of LTP and the long-term increase in PKMζ were blocked by the protein synthesis inhibitors anisomycin and cycloheximide. These results suggest that PKMζ is a component of a protein synthesis-dependent mechanism for persistent phosphorylation in LTP.
