title: Short-term down-regulation of the brain-specific, PtdIns(3,4,5)P3/Ins(1,3,4,5)P4-binding, adapter protein, p42IP4/centaurin-alpha 1 in rat brain after acoustic and electric stimulation.
abstract: The protein p42(IP4), expressed mainly in brain, specifically recognizes two second messenger molecules, Ins(1,3,4,5)P(4) (IP(4)), a water soluble metabolite of IP(3) and the lipid PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) (PIP(3)), the product of the growth factor-activated enzyme PI-3-kinase. Here, we studied whether there is short-term regulation of the expression level of p42(IP4) in limbic brain areas following acoustic and electric stimulation. The stimuli down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels within 2h in amygdala, hypothalamus and cingulate/retrospenial cortex. p42(IP4) mRNA decreased by about 50% for about 24h, but recovered to control values after 72 h. The present results are the first indication of a specific role of p42(IP4) in the short-term regulation of a behavioral response. They indicate that p42(IP4), an adapter protein in PIP(3)-dependent cellular signaling, may play an important role in the signal transduction pathways regulating plasticity in neuronal cells.
