AMPA receptor (AMPA-R) complexes consist of channel-forming subunits, GluA1-4, and auxiliary proteins, including TARPs, CNIHs, synDIG1, and CKAMP44, which can modulate AMPA-R function in specific ways.

Membrane lipid rafts are required for AMPA receptor tyrosine phosphorylation
Membrane lipid rafts are sphingolipids and cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains, which form a center for the interaction or assembly of palmitoylated signaling molecules, including Src family non-receptor type protein tyrosine kinases.

Dissecting the Activation of AMPA Receptors [PDF]
Ionotropic glutamate receptors are tetrameric ion channels that are activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate at excitatory synapses. It is known that after the binding of glutamate, the AMPA-subtype of glutamate receptors transits through distinct functional states to become fully activated, however, the conformations sampled by the tetramer during ...

Synapse elimination and learning rules co-regulated by MHC class I H2-Db. [PDF]
The formation of precise connections between retina and lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) involves the activity-dependent elimination of some synapses, with strengthening and retention of others. Here we show that the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)

AMPA Receptor Activation [PDF]
AMPA receptors are tetramers assembled as a dimer-of-dimers with a 2-fold rotational symmetry in their extracellular domains. Two papers in this issue of Neuron, by Horning and Mayer and Sobolevsky et al., provide complementary data that extend this view and highlight the role of dimers in channel gating.

Development of AMPA Receptor Aptamers [PDF]
The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) subtype of glutamate ion channel receptors plays an essential role in the mammalian brain activities such as memory and learning, whereas the excessive receptor activation has been implicated in neurological diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

AMPA receptor regulation at the mRNA and protein level in rat primary cortical cultures.
Ionotropic glutamate α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptors are the major mediators of fast synaptic neurotransmission.

Genetically altered AMPA-type glutamate receptor kinetics in interneurons disrupt long-range synchrony of gamma oscillation [PDF]
Gamma oscillations synchronized between distant neuronal populations may be critical for binding together brain regions devoted to common processing tasks.
