Direct interaction of ribosomes with postsynaptic proteins gives rise to a privileged local synaptic translatome

Ashley M. Bourke, Marianna Massari, Georgi Tushev, Mei Wu, Kristina Desch, Sara Guerreiro Mota, Anja Staab, Elena Ciirdaeva, Julian D. Langer, Fan Liu, Erin Margaret Schuman

The paper identifies a direct interaction between postsynaptic proteins and ribosomes, revealing a localized synaptic translatome that preferentially translates PSD-related mRNAs.

Neuronal processes contain the essential components for the late steps of ribosome biogenesis

Claudia M. Fusco, Anja Staab, Ashley M. Bourke, Georgi Tushev, Kristina Desch, Érico Moreto Lins, Elena Ciirdaeva, Susanne tom Dieck, Nina Kaltenschnee, Alexander Heckel, Julian D. Langer, Erin Margaret Schuman

The paper shows that ribosome biogenesis factors and pre-rRNA processing enzymes are present in distal neuronal compartments, suggesting local ribosome maturation occurs in dendrites.

Neuronal ribosomes dynamically exchange ribosomal proteins in a context-dependent manner.

Claudia M. Fusco, Kristina Desch, Aline Ricarda Dörrbaum, Mantian Wang, Anja Staab, Ivy Chi Wai Chan, Eleanor Vail, Veronica Villeri, Julian D. Langer, Erin Margaret Schuman

The paper shows that neuronal ribosomal proteins dynamically exchange in a context-dependent manner, independent of canonical ribosome biogenesis.
