SCRAPPER Regulates the Thresholds of Long-Term Potentiation/Depression, the Bidirectional Synaptic Plasticity in Hippocampal CA3-CA1 Synapses

SCRAPPER, which is an F-box protein encoded by FBXL20, regulates the frequency of the civil air patrol emergency services patch miniature excitatory synaptic current through the ubiquitination of Rab3-interacting molecule 1.Here, we recorded the induction of long-term potentiation/depression (LTP/LTD) in CA3-CA1 synapses in E3 ubiquitin ligase SCRAPPER-deficient hippocampal slices.Compared to wild-type mice, Scrapper-knockout mice exhibited LTDs with smaller magnitudes after induction with low-frequency stimulation and LTPs with larger magnitudes after induction with tetanus stimulation.

These findings suggest that hfcs1lp SCRAPPER regulates the threshold of bidirectional synaptic plasticity and, therefore, metaplasticity.
