Distribution and ultrastructural localization of a novel phosphoneuroprotein with a molecular mass of 14 kDa (PNP 14), and expression of its mRNA were studied in the adult rat central nervous system (CNS) by immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization histochemistry. PNP 14 immunoreactivity was abundant in the molecular layer, present moderately in the granular layer, and rare in the Purkinje cell layer of the cerebellar cortex. No PNP 14 immunoreactivity was detected in the cerebellar medulla. In the forebrain, immunoreactivity was found in the hippocampus, striatum, and throughout the cerebral cortex, especially in layer V. Electron microscopic immunocytochemical observation in the cerebellar cortex revealed many PNP 14-immunoreactive axon terminals making synaptic contact with dendritic processes in both granular and molecular layers. PNP 14 immunoreactivity was present mainly in the cytoplasmic matrix in the presynaptic axon terminals. PNP 14 mRNA was localized in the granular layer of the cerebellar cortex, in the hippocampus, and in the cerebral cortex, suggesting that PNP 14 is synthesized in neurons of the granular layer and then transported to the molecular layer by axonal transport. These morphological findings suggest that PNP 14 is likely to modulate the function of selected CNS synapses.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D013569 Synapses Specialized junctions at which a neuron communicates with a target cell. At classical synapses, a neuron's presynaptic terminal releases a chemical transmitter stored in synaptic vesicles which diffuses across a narrow synaptic cleft and activates receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of the target cell. The target may be a dendrite, cell body, or axon of another neuron, or a specialized region of a muscle or secretory cell. Neurons may also communicate via direct electrical coupling with ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES. Several other non-synaptic chemical or electric signal transmitting processes occur via extracellular mediated interactions. Synapse

Immunoelectron microscopy is used extensively in diagnostic virology as part of very sensitive immunoassays.
