Regulation of glutamate receptors by striatal-enriched tyrosine phosphatase 61 (STEP61 ).

TL;DR: The ways in which STEP61 differentially regulates NMDARs and AMPARs, as well as its role in plasticity and disease are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of status epilepticus: α‐Amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic acid receptor hypothesis

TL;DR: It is proposed that insertion of GluA1 subunits at the glutamatergic synapses causes potentiation of α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic receptor (AMPAR)‐mediated neurotransmission, which helps to spread and sustain seizures.

Elevated Pressure Increases Ca2+ Influx Through AMPA Receptors in Select Populations of Retinal Ganglion Cells.

TL;DR: Differences in expression of CP-AMPARs between RGC subtypes may form the underpinnings for subtype-specific synaptic plasticity and contribute to the reported resistance of ON alpha, and susceptibility of OFF and ON-OFF RGCs to injury in models of glaucoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptic plasticity under learning challenge.

TL;DR: This work reviews the literature describing structural, functional and molecular alterations developing in the hippocampus when animals are asked to form memories and discusses the interest of this approach for disclosing pathological mechanisms in memory disorders which might otherwise not be observed in naive conditions.

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.
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.
