DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this application is to map the translational landscape of excitatory neurons in response to synaptic activity. My interest in this problem is motivated by the observations that dynamic regulation of translation is crucial for both long term potentiation (LTP) and long term depression (LTD), the two forms of synaptic plasticity thought to underlie the cellular basis of learning and memory. Despite the importance of translational control in synaptic plasticity, only a handful of genes have been studied in this context. As a postdoctoral fellow in Jonathan Weissman's lab, I have developed an innovative approach for translational profiling with subcellular resolution. This technique is based on ribosome profiling, the deep sequencing of ribosome- protected mRNA fragments, invented in the Weissman lab. My immediate goal is to apply the technical and analytical toolkit that I have developed during my graduate and postdoctoral training to explore fundamental questions in neuroscience. The aims of this application are to 1) understand which mRNAs are translated locally in dendrites, and how translation is regulated in the dendritic and somatic compartments in response to elevated or silenced synaptic activity; 2) develop precise genetically encoded tools to facilitate dendritic ribosome profiling and dendritic proteomics; 3) explore the rapid translational changes that occur during LTD and determine which changes drive the electrophysiological response to activity. Having a genome-scale view of the translational response to synaptic activity should generate numerous hypotheses that I will continue to pursue in my independent research group. In order to achieve these aims, I seek interdisciplinary mentored training in neuroscience, gene regulation and cell biology. Towards this end, I have assembled a team of mentors with expertise in: systems biology and genome-scale data acquisition and analysis (Jonathan Weissman), neuroscience, synaptic plasticity and electrophysiology (Roger Nicoll), circuit analysis and activity-dependent signaling (Zachary Knight) and proteomics and genetic interaction analysis (Nevan Krogran). These mentors represent a broad and relevant collection scientific perspectives as well as career perspectives, as it includes both recently hired junior faculty and experienced tenured faculty. This K99/R00 award provides a protected training period in which I will expand my knowledge base in neuroscience, for example by taking the graduate neuroscience course NS201 at UCSF and the intensive Marine Biology Lab Neurobiology summer course. Such training will greatly facilitate my long-term research goals of understanding how neurons respond to synaptic activity with subcellular specificity and how activity-dependent gene expression changes are integrated into a spatially precise response. My long-term career objective is to pursue these research interests as a tenure-tracked principle investigator in an interdisciplinary biology department at an academic research institution.

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请的目标是绘制兴奋性神经元对突触活动的反应的翻译图景。我之所以对这个问题感兴趣，是因为我观察到，翻译的动态调节对长时程增强(LTP)和长时程抑制(LTD)都是至关重要的，这两种形式的突触可塑性被认为是学习和记忆的细胞基础。尽管翻译控制在突触可塑性中很重要，但在这方面研究的基因寥寥无几。作为乔纳森·韦斯曼实验室的博士后研究员，我开发了一种具有亚细胞分辨率的翻译图谱创新方法。这项技术基于核糖体图谱， 魏斯曼实验室发明的核糖体保护的信使核糖核酸片段的深度测序。我的直接目标是应用我在研究生和博士后培训期间开发的技术和分析工具包来探索神经科学的基本问题。本应用程序的目的是1)了解哪些mRNAs在树突中局部翻译，以及如何在树突和体细胞中调节翻译，以响应突触活性升高或沉默；2)开发精确的基因编码工具，以促进树突状核糖体图谱和树突状蛋白质组学；3)探索在LTD期间发生的快速翻译变化，并确定哪些变化驱动了对活动的电生理反应。对突触活动的翻译反应有一个基因组规模的观点应该会产生许多假设，我将在我的独立研究小组中继续追求这些假设。为了实现这些目标，我寻求在神经科学、基因调控和细胞生物学方面进行跨学科的指导培训。为此，我组建了一个导师团队，他们的专长包括：系统生物学和基因组规模的数据采集和分析(Jonathan Weissman)，神经科学、突触可塑性和电生理学(Roger Nicoll)，电路分析和活动依赖信号(Zachary Knight)，以及蛋白质组学和遗传相互作用分析(Nigan Krogran)。这些导师代表了广泛和相关的科学观点和职业观点，因为它既包括最近聘用的初级教师，也包括经验丰富的终身教师。K99/R00奖项提供了一段受保护的训练期，在此期间我将扩大我在神经科学方面的知识基础，例如，通过参加加州大学旧金山分校的神经科学研究生课程NS201和强化海洋生物学实验室神经生物学暑期课程。这样的培训将极大地促进我的长期研究目标，即了解神经元如何对具有亚细胞特异性的突触活动做出反应，以及依赖活动的基因表达变化如何整合到空间精确的反应中。我的长期职业目标是追求这些研究兴趣，在一家学术研究机构的跨学科生物学系担任终身教职的首席研究员。
