However\, mice lacking its puta tive target\, the protein kinase PKM2\, exhibit normal learning and memory as well as LTP\, making ZIP’s mechanism unclear. Here\, we show that ZIP disrupts LTP by removing surface AMPA receptors through its cationic charg e alone. This effect requires endophilin A2 (endoA2)-mediated endocytosis and is fully blocked by drugs suppressing macropinocytosis. ZIP and other cationic peptides selectively remove newly inserted AMPAR nanoclusters\, p roviding a mechanism by which these peptides erase memories without alteri ng basal synaptic function. When delivered in vivo\, cationic peptides mod ulate memories on local and brain-wide scales and prevent memory loss in a model of traumatic brain injury. Our findings uncover a previously unknow n synaptic mechanism by which memories are maintained or lost.\n DTSTART:20241022T200000Z DTEND:20241022T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: Think Positively: Novel Mechanisms of Modula ting Synaptic Plasticity and Implications for Brain Disease URL:/neuro/fr/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-thi nk-positively-novel-mechanisms-modulating-synaptic-plasticity-and-358311 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
