The BDNF $\rightarrow$ TrkB $\rightarrow$mTOR signaling pathway initiates local protein synthesis by _______. (Select all that apply.)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The BDNF/TrkB/mTOR pathway activates the translation initiation factor eIF4E by removing the inhibitory influence of 4E-BP. This allows new functional ribosomal complexes to form, initiating local protein synthesis. The pathway does not signal the nucleus to transcribe genes that support LTP or release calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum.
