The amino-terminal domain of GluA1 mediates LTP maintenance via interaction with neuroplastin-65.

TLDR
In this paper, the amino-terminal domain (ATD) of GluA1 is found to be essential for long-term potentiation (LTP) maintenance.
Abstract
Long-term potentiation (LTP) has long been considered as an important cellular mechanism for learning and memory. LTP expression involves NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic insertion of AMPA receptors (AMPARs). However, how AMPARs are recruited and anchored at the postsynaptic membrane during LTP remains largely unknown. In this study, using CRISPR/Cas9 to delete the endogenous AMPARs and replace them with the mutant forms in single neurons, we have found that the amino-terminal domain (ATD) of GluA1 is required for LTP maintenance. Moreover, we show that GluA1 ATD directly interacts with the cell adhesion molecule neuroplastin-65 (Np65). Neurons lacking Np65 exhibit severely impaired LTP maintenance, and Np65 deletion prevents GluA1 from rescuing LTP in AMPARs-deleted neurons. Thus, our study reveals an essential role for GluA1/Np65 binding in anchoring AMPARs at the postsynaptic membrane during LTP.

AMPA receptor anchoring at CA1 synapses is determined by N-terminal domain and TARP γ8 interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the contributions of three AMPAR interaction domains controlling transmission at hippocampal CA1 synapses, and show that the AMPAR C-termini play only a modulatory role, whereas the extracellular N-terminal domain (NTD) and PDZ interactions of the auxiliary subunit TARP γ8 are both crucial, and each is sufficient to maintain transmission.

Rapid Spine Delivery and Redistribution of AMPA Receptors After Synaptic NMDA Receptor Activation

TL;DR: Tetanic synaptic stimulation induced a rapid delivery of tagged receptors into dendritic spines as well as clusters in dendrites and may contribute to the enhanced AMPA receptor-mediated transmission observed during long-term potentiation and activity-dependent synaptic maturation.

Subunit-specific rules governing AMPA receptor trafficking to synapses in hippocampal pyramidal neurons.

TL;DR: The combination of regulated addition and continuous replacement of synaptic receptors can stabilize long-term changes in synaptic efficacy and may serve as a general model for how surface receptor number is established and maintained.

Mechanisms of CaMKII action in long-term potentiation

TL;DR: In the later stages of LTP, CaMKII has a structural role in enlarging and strengthening the synapse, and produces potentiation by phosphorylating principal and auxiliary subunits of AMPA-type glutamate receptors.
