1 Phosphorylation of DARPP-32 at Threonine-34 is required for cocaine action. Cocaine protein phosphatase 1, regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B Mus musculus
2 Mice lacking DARPP-32, a striatal-enriched phosphoprotein, show abnormal behavioral and biochemical responses to cocaine, but the role of individual phosphorylation sites in DARPP-32 in these responses is unknown. Cocaine protein phosphatase 1, regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B Mus musculus
3 We show here that mutation of Thr-34 in DARPP-32 mimicked the behavioral phenotype of the constitutive DARPP-32 knockout in cocaine-induced place conditioning, locomotor activity, and sensitization paradigms. Cocaine protein phosphatase 1, regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B Mus musculus
4 We show here that mutation of Thr-34 in DARPP-32 mimicked the behavioral phenotype of the constitutive DARPP-32 knockout in cocaine-induced place conditioning, locomotor activity, and sensitization paradigms. Cocaine protein phosphatase 1, regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B Mus musculus
5 Consistent with these behavioral findings, we found that cocaine regulation of gene expression in striatum, including the acute induction of the immediate early genes c-fos and arc (activity-regulated cytoskeletal-associated gene), was abolished in DARPP-32 Thr-34 mutants, but not in Thr-75 mutants. Cocaine protein phosphatase 1, regulatory inhibitor subunit 1B Mus musculus
