This hypothesis proposes that the CREB1-BDNF-TrkB activity-dependent transcriptional machinery directly controls the spatial expression patterns of complement regulators CD55 and CD46, creating synaptic vulnerability maps that determine which synapses are targeted for complement-mediated pruning. The mechanism operates through activity-dependent CREB1 phosphorylation at serine 133, which initiates transcription of both BDNF and complement regulator genes containing CRE sites. High-activity synap
The activity-dependent trafficking of complement regulators CD55 and CD46 to synaptic surfaces represents a dynamic regulatory mechanism controlling complement-mediated synaptic pruning through vesicular transport and membrane insertion. Rather than static differential expression, CD55 and CD46 undergo rapid, activity-dependent translocation from intracellular vesicular pools to synaptic membranes via SNARE-mediated exocytosis. High-frequency synaptic activity triggers calcium influx through NMD
