Annotation description:Wong et.al. studies the role of Calcium-dependent adenylyl cyclases in LTP at the CA3-CA1 synapse in the mouse hippocampus. It is shown that knockout of AC1 or AC8 alone does not affect LTP (Figure 3C). However, in the AC1/8 double knockout, the late phase of LTP could not be evoked. Thus, AC1 and AC8 are required for L-LTP.

AC1 and AC8 are thought to induce LTP via the production of cAMP. Downstream targets of AC8 do not seem to be affected by AC1/8 double knockout, since forskolin, a synthetic cAMP analogue, induces potentiation to levels similar to wildtype (figure 4).

cAMP will in turn activate PKA, which is also essential for LTP (Abel et.al.). Via a not completely understood mechanism, this ultimately leads to the insertion of additional AMPA receptors (Man et.al.).

- Since the involvement of PKA was not shown in this paper I did not propose the pathway annation "regulation of PKA signal transduction".
