Src-NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 complex and recognition memory of imprinting in domestic chicks.

ABSTRACT: Src is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase participating in a range of neuronal processes, including synaptic plasticity. We have recently shown that the amounts of total Src and its two phosphorylated forms, at tyrosine-416 (activated) and tyrosine-527 (inhibited), undergoes time-dependent, region-specific learning-related changes in the domestic chick forebrain after visual imprinting. These changes occur in the intermediate medial mesopallium (IMM), a site of memory formation for visual imprinting, but not the posterior pole of the nidopallium (PPN), a control brain region not involved in imprinting. Src interacts with mitochondrial genome-coded NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (NADH2), a component of mitochondrial respiratory complex I. This interaction occurs at brain excitatory synapses beari
