Modulation of Agonist Binding to AMPA Receptors by 1-(1,4-Benzodioxan-6-ylcarbonyl)piperidine (CX546): Differential Effects across Brain Regions and GluA1–4/Transmembrane AMPA Receptor Regulatory Protein Combinations

TL;DR: The data suggest that variations in physiological drug efficacy, such as the 3-fold difference previously seen in recordings from hippocampus versus thalamus, may be explained by region-specific expression of GluA1–4 as well as TARPs.

Role of Site-Specific N-Glycans Expressed on GluA2 in the Regulation of Cell Surface Expression of AMPA-Type Glutamate Receptors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the mutant lacking the N-glycan at N370 strongly suppressed the intracellular trafficking of GluA2 from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in HEK293 cells, and found that N413 was the main potential site of the HNK-1 epitope that promoted the interaction of GLuA2 with N-cadherin, resulting in enhanced cell surface expression of GLUA2.

Ca2+-permeable AMPA (α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic Acid) Receptors and Dopamine D1 Receptors Regulate GluA1 Trafficking in Striatal Neurons

TL;DR: Dopamine and glutamate cooperate in a feed-forward mechanism for synaptic priming whereby an initial stimulus acting independently of voltage-gated conductance increases striatal neuron excitability, facilitating greater neuronal excitation by a subsequent stimulus.

GluA1 and its PDZ-interaction: A role in experience-dependent behavioral plasticity in the forced swim test

TL;DR: Using an animal model of depression, it is demonstrated that global or hippocampus-selective deletion of GluA1 impairs expression of experience-dependent behavioral despair and link mechanisms of hippocampal synaptic plasticity with behavioral expression of depression.

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.
