Auxiliary subunits keep AMPA receptors compact during activation and desensitization
Signal transduction at vertebrate excitatory synapses involves the rapid activation of AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate) receptors, glutamate-gated ion channels whose four subunits assemble as a dimer-of-dimers.

SARM1 is essential for NMDA receptor-dependent endocytosis of AMPA receptors in hippocampal neurons
Long-term depression (LTD) is a form of synaptic plasticity thought to be the cellular basis of experience-dependent learning and memory. LTD is caused by an activity-dependent decrease in cell surface α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid

SynDIG1 promotes excitatory synaptogenesis independent of AMPA receptor trafficking and biophysical regulation. [PDF]
AMPA receptors-mediators of fast, excitatory transmission and synaptic plasticity in the brain-achieve great functional diversity through interaction with different auxiliary subunits, which alter both the trafficking and biophysical properties of these ...

Copine-6 is a Ca2+ sensor for activity-induced AMPA receptor exocytosis
Summary: The recruitment of synaptic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptors underlies the strengthening of neuronal connectivity during learning and memory. This process is triggered by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-

Autoinactivation of the stargazin-AMPA receptor complex: subunit-dependency and independence from physical dissociation. [PDF]
Agonist responses and channel kinetics of native α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptors are modulated by transmembrane accessory proteins.
