Models of synaptically induced regulation of eEF1A. DHPG-LTD: (1) mGluR activation triggers the rapid dendritic translation of eEF1A.(2) Newly available eEF1A may allow translation of more transcripts and influence protein synthetic capacity. LTP: (3) eEF1A binds to and bundles F-actin that accumulates to stimulated synapses. (4) eEF1A also binds to transcripts and may influence their translation near the actin cytoskeleton.
