Feok Festival Costumes: Evolution & Socio-Cultural Importance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Feok festival is an important festival celebrated annually by the people of Sandema and its environs, to commemorate the victory of the indigenes over slave raiders led by ‘Babatu’ in the 18th century, and to celebrate good harvest.

Estimating the synaptic current in a multi-conductance AMPA receptor model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A pre-synaptic neuron releases diffusing neurotransmitters such as glutamate that activate post-synaptic receptors. The amplitude of the post-synaptic current, mostly mediated by glutamatergic (AMPARs) receptors, is a fundamental signal that may generate an action potential.

Shisa6 traps AMPA receptors at postsynaptic sites and prevents their desensitization during synaptic activity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Trafficking and biophysical properties of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) in the brain depend on interactions with associated proteins. We identify Shisa6, a single transmembrane protein, as a stable and directly interacting bona fide AMPAR auxiliary subunit ...

Needs Analysis of the English Writing Skill as the Base to Design the Learning Materials

open access: yesSHS Web of Conferences, 2018
This research used a descriptive method. It was aimed at identifying students’ learning needs for the English writing skill as the base for designing the learning materials. Writing skill covered the analysis of the types of paragraph, types of text, the

GluA2-lacking AMPA receptors in hippocampal CA1 cell synapses: evidence from gene-targeted mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012
The GluA2 subunit in heteromeric AMPA receptor channels restricts Ca2+ permeability and block by polyamines, rendering linear the current-voltage relationship of these glutamate-gated cation channels.

Degradation of pesticides by the ligninolytic enzyme Laccase : optimisation of in vitro conditions, immobilisation and screening for natural mediators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Pesticides are widely used in many industries but the majority reaches non-target organisms or locations through point or diffuse sources. Understanding conditions for their degradation is therefore important.

Involvement of AMPA receptor GluR2 subunits in stimulus reward learning: evidence from glutamate receptor gria 2 knockout mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Presence of the glutamate receptor 2 (GluR2) subunit prevents calcium influx through AMPA-receptor complexes; deletion of this subunit results in enhanced hippocampal long-term potentiation.

Amyloid-β-Induced Dysregulation of AMPA Receptor Trafficking

open access: yesJournal of Neural Transplantation and Plasticity, 2016
Evidence from neuropathological, genetic, animal model, and biochemical studies has indicated that the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) is associated with, and probably induces, profound neuronal changes in brain regions critical for memory and ...

P2X7 receptors exert a permissive effect on the activation of presynaptic AMPA receptors in rat trigeminal caudal nucleus glutamatergic nerve terminals

open access: yesThe Journal of Headache and Pain, 2020
Background Purine receptors play roles in peripheral and central sensitization and are associated with migraine headache. We investigated the possibility that ATP plays a permissive role in the activation of AMPA receptors thus inducing Glu release from ...

Allosteric competition and inhibition in AMPA receptors

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2023
AbstractExcitatory neurotransmission is principally mediated by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-subtype ionotropic glutamate receptors (AMPARs). Negative allosteric modulators are therapeutic candidates that inhibit AMPAR activation and can compete with positive modulators to control AMPAR function through unresolved ...
