Neddylation is required for synaptic plasticity induction. (a) LTP was induced in acute hippocampal brain slices by high frequency stimulation (HFS). Application of 1 µM MLN-4924 5 min before starting induction (red bar) significantly decreased LTP compared to controls, while MLN-4924 added after the induction (yellow bar) did not affect LTP magnitude. (closed circles: control, red squares: MLN-4924 added before induction, yellow triangles: MLN-4924 after induction, open circles: MLN-4924 no LTP induction). (b) LTD could be induced under control conditions by low frequency stimulation (closed circles) and was strongly reduced when induced in the presence of MLN-4924 (red squares). Open circles show control fEPSP recordings from slices treated with MLN-4924 without inducing plasticity demonstrating that a short application of MLN-4924 does not directly affect synaptic transmission. Red bar indicates 1 µM MLN-4924 application. Insets on top show sample traces; solid line before induction, dashed line after induction. (closed circles: control, open squares: MLN-4924 before induction, open circles: MLN-4942 no LTD induction). (c) MLN-4924 does not directly inhibit NMDA receptor mediated currents. Please note, stimulus artefacts have been omitted for clarity.
