SAD-B modulates epileptic seizure by regulating AMPA receptors in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and in the PTZ-induced epileptic model

TL;DR: It is shown that SAD-B downregulation exerted antiepileptic activity by regulating AMPA receptors in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and in the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced epileptic model, suggesting that S AD-B may be a potential and novel therapeutic target to limit epileptic seizures.

Whole-Cell Patch-Clamp Electrophysiology to Study Ionotropic Glutamatergic Receptors and Their Roles in Addiction.

TL;DR: The role of glutamatergic signaling through α-amino-3-hydroxy-5methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors underlying behavior has been extensively studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptomic expression of AMPA receptor subunits and their auxiliary proteins in the human brain.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an update on the state of current knowledge of AMPA receptors subunits in the context of their accessory proteins at the transcriptome level, and summarize the regional expression in the human brain and its correlation with the channel forming subunits.

JB Review Auxiliary subunits provide new insights into regulation of AMPA receptor trafficking

Akio Sumioka
TL;DR: Progress in identifying the role of auxiliary subunits in AMPA receptor trafficking is discussed, which could contribute to the mechanisms of synaptic plasticity.

AMPA Receptor Expression Requirement During Long-Term Memory Retrieval and Its Association with mTORC1 Signaling

TL;DR: The work indicates that de novo GluA1 and GLUA2 AMPAR subunit expression is required for memory retrieval with potential different roles for each subunit and suggests that mTORC1 might regulate AMPAR trafficking during retrieval.

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.
