Forgetting, one part of the brain’s memory management system, provides balance to the encoding and consolidation of new information by removing unused or unwanted memories or by suppressing their expression. Recent studies identified the small G-protein, Rac1, as a key player in the Drosophila mushroom bodies neurons (MBn) for, active forgetting. We subsequently discovered that a few dopaminergic neurons (DAn) that innervate the MBn mediate forgetting. Here we show that Scribble, a scaffolding protein known primarily for its role as a cell polarity determinant, orchestrates the intracellular signaling for normal forgetting. Knocking down scribble expression in either MBn or DAn impairs normal memory loss. Scribble interacts physically and genetically with Rac1, Pak3 and Cofilin within MBn, nucleating a forgetting signalosome that is downstream of dopaminergic inputs that regulate forgetting. These results bind disparate molecular players in active forgetting into a single signaling pathway: Dopamine→Dopamine Receptor→Scribble→Rac→Cofilin. Forgetting is a well-regulated function of the brain that allows adaptation to an ever-changing environment. This study demonstrates that Scribble, identified originally as a cell polarity determinant protein, regulates memory loss by scaffolding a forgetting signalosome.
