Intracellular NASPM allows an unambiguous functional measure of GluA2-lacking calcium-permeable AMPA receptor prevalence

TL;DR: In this article, the spider toxin analogue 1-naphthylacetyl spermine (NASPM) was shown to block GluA1-mediated outward currents irrespective of the type of associated AMPAR auxiliary subunit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term memory search across the visual brain.

TL;DR: The author explores how amygdala projections to the visual cortex affect the memory formation and proposes the choice of experimental techniques needed to explain the authors' massive visual memory capacity.

Subunit-specific augmentation of AMPA receptor ubiquitination by phorbol ester

TL;DR: Bicuculline induced GluA2 ubiquitination on the same lysine residues (Lys-870 and Lys-882) in the C-terminal as those elicited by the AMPA treatment is shown, providing the first demonstration of subunit-specific modulation of AMPAR ubiquitinations by the PKC-dependent signalling pathway in mammalian central neurons.

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.
