Activity-Dependent Ubiquitination of the AMPA Receptor Subunit GluA2

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that increasing synaptic activity, via treatment with the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline, rapidly and robustly induces ubiquitination of the GluA2 AMPAR subunit, and finds that clathrin- and dynamin-dependent endocytosis of AMPARs is required for activity-dependent GLUA2 ubiquitinations.

AMPA receptor regulation during synaptic plasticity in hippocampus and neocortex.

TL;DR: A review of AMPAR regulation underlying synaptic plasticity in hippocampus and neocortex using hippocampal CA1 and primary sensory cortices as examples and highlighting the key similarities and functional differences between the two synapses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium-Permeable AMPA Receptors Mediate the Induction of the Protein Kinase A-Dependent Component of Long-Term Potentiation in the Hippocampus

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the involvement of CP-AMPARs in LTP is critically determined by the timing of the induction trigger and is associated specifically with the PKA-dependent form of LTP, and suggested a specific linkage between PKA activation and the rapid synaptic insertion of calcium-permeable AMPA receptors during long-term potentiation.

GluA2 (GluR2) Regulates Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor-Dependent Long-Term Depression through N-Cadherin-Dependent and Cofilin-Mediated Actin Reorganization

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GluA2 regulates metabotropic glutamate receptor-dependent long-term depression (mGluR-LTD) through a previously unknown mechanism involving N-cadherin-dependent and cofilin-mediated actin reorganization.

The glutamate receptor ion channels

TL;DR: The cloning of cDNAs encoding glutamate receptor subunits, which occurred mainly between 1989 and 1992, stimulated the development of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the brain.

Cloned Glutamate Receptors

TL;DR: The application of molecular cloning technology to the study of the glutamate receptor system has led to an explosion of knowledge about the structure, expression, and function of this most important fast excitatory transmitter system in the mammalian brain.

AMPA Receptor Trafficking and Synaptic Plasticity

TL;DR: The growing literature that supports a critical role for AMPA receptors trafficking in LTP and LTD is reviewed, focusing on the roles proposed for specific AMPA receptor subunits and their interacting proteins.

Driving AMPA Receptors into Synapses by LTP and CaMKII: Requirement for GluR1 and PDZ Domain Interaction

TL;DR: Results show that LTP and CaMKII activity drive AMPA-Rs to synapses by a mechanism that requires the association between GluR1 and a PDZ domain protein.

RNA editing in brain controls a determinant of ion flow in glutamate-gated channels.

TL;DR: It is shown that the genomic DNA sequences encoding the particular channel segment of all subunits harbor a glutamine codon (CAG), even though an arginine codon is found in mRNAs of three subunits.
