Direct interaction between GluR2 and GAPDH regulates AMPAR-mediated excitotoxicity

TL;DR: Disruption of GluR2/GAPDH interaction by administration of an interfering peptide prevents AMPAR-mediated excitotoxicity and protects against damage induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation, an in vitro model of brain ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gating and modulation of a hetero-octameric AMPA glutamate receptor

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed AMPA receptor-auxiliary subunit complexes with both TARP-γ8 and CNIH2, the predominant AMPAR complex in the forebrain, in both resting and active states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of AMPA receptor trafficking and exit from the endoplasmic reticulum.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider mechanisms of trafficking of AMPA receptors to and from synapses that take place in the early trafficking stages, starting in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and continuing into the secretory pathway.

The organization of AMPA receptor subunits at the postsynaptic membrane

TL;DR: GluA1 concentrates away from the center of the synapse, extending at least 25 nm beyond the synaptic specialization; in contrast, GluA3 is uniformly distributed along thesynapse, and seldom extends beyond its lateral border, which implies that different kinds of AMPARs are differently trafficked to and/or anchored at the synapses.

Postsynaptic VAMP/Synaptobrevin Facilitates Differential Vesicle Trafficking of GluA1 and GluA2 AMPA Receptor Subunits

TL;DR: The results indicate that small postsynaptic vesicles containing GluA1 are inserted directly into the spine plasma membrane through a VAMP2-dependent mechanism.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
