N2 - The extreme length of neuronal processes poses a challenge for synapse-to-nucleus communication. In response to this challenge several different mechanisms have evolved in neurons to couple synaptic activity to the regulation of gene expression. One of these mechanisms concerns the long-distance transport of proteins from pre- and postsynaptic sites to the nucleus. In this review we summarize current evidence on mechanisms of transport and consequences of nuclear import of these proteins for gene transcription. In addition, we discuss how information from pre- and postsynaptic sites might be relayed to the nucleus by this type of long-distance signaling. When applicable, we highlight how long-distance protein transport from synapse-to-nucleus can provide insight into the pathophysiology of disease or reveal new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
