A gain‐of‐function GRIA2 variant associated with neurodevelopmental delay and seizures: Functional characterization and targeted treatment

TL;DR: The study suggests that AMPAR gain-of-function (GoF) underlies the effect of the GRIA2 variant in a one-year-old male patient with seizures, and that perampanel may be beneficial in other patients with GRIA GoF variants.

The role of MSK1 in homeostatic plasticity from in vitro to in vivo

TL;DR: The finding of a novel interacting partner associated with clathrin-mediated endocytosis will carve out innovative mechanisms involved in synaptic plasticity.

Proteins and azobenzenes

Alwin Reiter
TL;DR: As a proof of principle, the crystal structure of the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of GluK2 in complex with a photoswitchable agonist has now been solved, which is the first structure showing a membrane receptor bound to a synthetic Photoswitchable ligand.

Developmental plasticity of the glutamate synapse: Roles of low frequency stimulation, hebbian induction and the NMDA receptor

TL;DR: In conclusion; during brain development glutamate activated AMPA receptors are very easily lost upon activation rendering these synapses AMPA silent, and Hebbian activity will only temporarily rescue them from AMPA silence, and very low frequency induced depression is related to NMDA receptor dependent LTD.
Dissertation

Homeostatic control of AMPA receptor strength and subunit composition by Polo-like kinase 2

TL;DR: This thesis shows that Plk2 expression was upregulated with chro nic overexcitation, and became targeted to NSF, promoting extensive loss of surface GluR2 expression via increased endocytosis and slowed rec ycling without accompanying synapse loss.

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.
