Arc protein is rapidly expressed in neurons in response to synaptic activity and plays critical roles in synaptic plasticity, postnatal cortical developmental, and memory. Arc has diverse molecular functions, which may be related to distinct oligomeric states of the protein. Arc has homology to retroviral Gag protein and self-assembles into retrovirus-like capsid structures that are capable of intercellular transfer of RNA. Here, we identified a motif in ...
