There is growing evidence that the proteolytic machinery has important roles in regulating synaptic activity in the central nervous system (CNS)(Hegde and DiAntonio 2002, Kaczmarek et al 2002; Pawlak and Strickland, 2002; Tomimatsu et al 2002). Under the physiological condition, proteases are tightly regulated to prevent the excessive proteolysis. Their proteolytic activities are regulated by at least three mechanisms: the gene transcription, the activation process of precursor forms, and the interaction with endogenous protease inhibitors. Once proteases are activated, they can exert irreversible cleavage of peptide bonds of various proteins. After cleavage, some substrates are inactivated and others are activated to gain new functions. Under the pathological conditions, activated microglia also release proteases to affect neuronal functions (Nakanishi 2003a, 2003b). Therefore, the precise knowledge about the regulatory mechanism of proteases and their target substrates is critical for the better understanding of their physiological and pathological roles in the CNS. Besides proteolysis, some proteases can also exert their functions by non-proteolytic mechanisms. It is becoming evident that proteolytic cascades have crucial roles in synaptic reactions under the physiological and pathological conditions.
