bp(GO:"proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process") increases bp(GO:"long-term memory")
This and numerous related findings suggest that degradation of certain critical proteins by the UPS is required during long-term memory formation. One of these proteins is arc, a negative regulator of synaptic strength that promotes the internalization of AMPA receptors and is degraded via the E3 ligase, UBE3A (Greer et al. 2010).
