“…Local translation is important in many cell types but is critical for myelination by oligodendrocytes and neuronal functions, including synaptic plasticity and axon guidance. Different kinds of mRNA transport granules likely exist, with distinct mRNA cargos, including neuronal β-actin mRNA transport granules containing zipcode binding protein/IGF2BP1 (Elvira et al, 2006;Kiebler and Bassell, 2006;Zhang et al, 2001) and hnRNPA2-containing granules transporting myelin basic protein mRNA in oligodendrocytes or Arc, neurogranin, and αCamKII in neurons (Ainger et al, 1993;Brumwell et al, 2002;Gao et al, 2008;Shan et al, 2003). Several other protein components of hnRNPA2containing transport granules have been identified, including hnRNPF, hnRNPAB, hnRNPE1, hnRNPK, and the microtubule associated protein ch-TOG (CKAP5) (Francone et al, 2007;Kosturko et al, 2005;Kosturko et al, 2006;Laursen et al, 2011;Raju et al, 2011;Torvund-Jensen et al, 2014;White et al, 2012).…”
