Hyperconnectivity of neuronal circuits due to increased synaptic protein synthesis is postulated to cause Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is strongly implicated in ASD via upstream signaling. However, downstream regulatory mechanisms are ill-defined. We show that knockout (KO) of the eukaryotic translation Initiation Factor 4E-Binding Protein 2 (4E-BP2), an eIF4E-repressor downstream of mTOR, or eIF4E overexpression lead to increased translation of neuroligins, which are post-synaptic proteins that are causally linked to ASD. 4E-BP2-KO mice exhibit an increased ratio of excitatory to inhibitory synaptic inputs and autistic-like behaviors: social interaction deficits, altered communication and repetitive/stereotyped behaviors. Pharmacological inhibition of eIF4E activity or normalization of neuroligin 1, but not neuroligin 2 protein amounts, restore the normal excitation/inhibition ratio and rectify the social behavior deficits. Thus, translational control by eIF4E regulates the synthesis of neuroligins, maintaining the excitation to inhibition balance, and its dysregulation engenders ASD-like phenotypes.
