Figure Legend Snippet: LSm1 mRNPs contain polyadenylated mRNAs, CPEB, and CBP80. (A) Rat brain extracts were separated as before and three fractions were collected: bottom (equivalent to fractions 2–4 in Fig. 4 A), middle (fractions 5–7 in Fig. 4 A), and top (fractions 8–10 in Fig. 4 A). mRNP complexes were immunoprecipitated with mock IgGs (lanes 2, 5, and 8) or with α-LSm1 antibodies (lanes 3, 6, and 9). Lanes 1, 4, and 7 show the RT-PCR of 2.5% of the respective inputs. RNA was isolated and β-actin mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. PCR products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and ethidium bromide staining; DNA markers are indicated on the left. (B) β-Actin and eEF1α1 mRNAs were amplified from a pool of the three fractions (lanes 2 and 3) or from total RNA isolated from the crude brain extract (lane 1) by the tag-addition poly(A) test (Fig. S2, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200807033/DC1). The lanes were scanned and the intensity is plotted on the right. The y axis gives the signal intensity relative to the peak of each lane. On the x axis, the position is plotted. Approximate poly(A) tail lengths were estimated from the molecular markers and the length of the amplicons without poly(A). The asterisk in the eEF1α1 panel indicates an artifact that is not dependent on tagging of the mRNA (Fig. S2). (C) Proteins were isolated from the three fractions immunopurified as in A, and the following proteins were detected by Western blotting (from top to bottom): CPEB, eIF4E, Dcp1a, CBP80, rS6, rL11, and SMN. The position of the specific bands are indicated by arrows on the right and the migration of molecular mass markers on the left; asterisks designate bands that derive from the antibodies used in the immunoprecipitations and that are therefore present in high concentration on the blot. Lanes 1, 4, and 7 show the input (10% of the immunoprecipitated material), lanes 2, 5, and 8 the mock precipitation with nonspecific IgGs, and lanes 3, 6, and 9 the specific α-LSm1 immunoprecipitations.

Figure Legend Snippet: Model. mRNPs bound for dendritic transport associate with the LSm complex already in the nucleus, with the nuclear cap-binding protein still attached. Whether CPEB joins the complex also in the nucleus, or only after export, remains to be elucidated. The mRNP carrying these markers is then found in the dendrite and is shifted as such into stimulated dendritic spines. There, the mRNA is presumably liberated to allow eIF4E-dependent translation.
