Abstract:
:L-aspartate is the amino-acid residue most susceptible to spontaneous isomerization. This denaturation causes an alteration in the biological activity of the protein and is regarded as an aging process of the protein. Protein L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase (PIMT) repairs this post-translational modification and thus is implicated in retarding the aging process of proteins. PIMT is highly expressed in the brain, and its deficiency results in progressive epilepsy after 4 weeks of age, with a fatal seizure in mice. Here we report the pathophysiological role of this repair system in the hippocampal slice of PIMT-deficient mice. The hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 synapses of PIMT-deficient mice showed hyperexcitation that was repressed by a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptor agonist muscimol. In addition, the mossy fiber-CA3 synapses failed to show long-term potentiation or paired-pulse facilitation. No abnormality, however, was observed in Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses or in perforant path-dentate gyrus synapses. Electron microscopic study revealed aberrant distribution of synaptic vesicles in the mossy fiber terminals and vacuolar degeneration at the axon hillock of dentate granule cells in PIMT-deficient mice. Furthermore, the PIMT-deficient mice showed impaired spatial memory in Morris water maze test and exhibited fewer anxiety-related behaviors in the elevated-plus test. These results suggest that the mossy fiber-CA3 system is vulnerable to aspartate isomerization and that the PIMT-mediated repair system is essential for maintenance of normal functions of the hippocampus.
