Targeted In Vivo Mutations of the AMPA Receptor Subunit GluR2 and Its Interacting Protein PICK1 Eliminate Cerebellar Long-Term Depression

TL;DR: It is shown that targeted mutation of PICK1, the GluR2 C-terminal PDZ ligand, or the GLUR2 PKC phosphorylation site eliminates cerebellar LTD in mice and demonstrates that P Pick1-GluR1 PDZ-based interactions and Glu R2 phosphorylated are required for LTD expression in the cerebellum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium-Permeable AMPA Receptor Plasticity Is Mediated by Subunit-Specific Interactions with PICK1 and NSF

TL;DR: It is found that two GluR2-interacting proteins, the PDZ domain-containing Protein interacting with C kinase (PICK1) and N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion protein (NSF), are specifically required for CARP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistent hippocampal CA1 LTP in mice lacking the C-terminal PDZ ligand of GluR1

TL;DR: The C-terminal PDZ ligand of the AMPA receptor GluR1 subunit may be important for expression of CA1 hippocampal long-term potentiation, but in vivo testing indicated that the ligand is not required for CA1 hippocampusal synaptic plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and characterization of a novel phosphorylation site on the GluR1 subunit of AMPA receptors.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that T840 may regulate synaptic plasticity in an age-dependent manner and is phosphorylated by protein kinase C in vitro and is a highly turned-over phosphorylation site in the hippocampus.
