Localized signaling in neuronal dendrites requires tight spatial control of
membrane composition. Upon initial synthesis, nascent secretory cargo in
dendrites exits the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) from local zones of ER complexity
that are spatially coupled to post-ER compartments. Although newly synthesized
membrane proteins can be processed locally, the mechanisms that control the
spatial range of secretory cargo transport in dendritic segments are unknown.
Here, we monitored the dynamics of nascent membrane proteins in dendritic post-ER
compartments under regimes of low or increased neuronal activity. In response to
activity blockade, post-ER carriers are highly mobile and are transported over
long distances. Conversely, increasing synaptic activity dramatically restricts
the spatial scale of post-ER trafficking along dendrites. This activity-induced
confinement of secretory cargo requires site-specific phosphorylation of the
kinesin motor KIF17 by Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaMK). Thus,
the length scales of early secretory trafficking in dendrites are tuned by
activity-dependent regulation of microtubule-dependent transport.
