Neurons undergo morphological changes that require extensive reorganization of the underlying actin network referred to as “structural plasticity”. Since actin is the predominant cytoskeletal component of dendritic spines, much work has focused on actin-binding proteins (ABPs) in regulating actin dynamics. Among the plethora of ABPs, both profilin (PFN) isoforms abundant in the brain are central regulators of actin polymerization – ubiquitous profilin1 (PFN1) and neuronal-specific profilin2a (PFN2a). Here, the role of PFN1 in shaping the structure of hippocampal neurons and its impact on activity-dependent plasticity using RNAi-mediated knockdown (KD) of PFN1 (shPFN1) was analyzed. Acute KD of PFN1 led to mild alterations in dendritic com...
