AMPA receptors and their minions: auxiliary proteins in AMPA receptor trafficking [PDF]
To correctly transfer information, neuronal networks need to continuously adjust their synaptic strength to extrinsic stimuli. This ability, termed synaptic plasticity, is at the heart of their function and is, thus, tightly regulated.

Clathrin-Independent Trafficking of AMPA Receptors [PDF]
Membrane trafficking of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) is critical for neuronal function and plasticity. Although rapid forms of AMPAR internalization during long-term depression (LTD) require clathrin and dynamin, the mechanisms governing constitutive AMPAR ...

Regulation of AMPA receptors in spinal nociception [PDF]
The functional properties of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methy-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptors in different brain regions, such as hippocampus and cerebellum, have been well studied in vitro and in vivo. The AMPA receptors present a unique characteristic

RNA aptamers for AMPA receptors. [PDF]
RNA aptamers are single-stranded RNA molecules, and they are selected against a target of interest so that they can bind to and modulate the activity of the target, such as inhibiting the target activity, with high potency and selectivity. Antagonists, such as RNA aptamers, acting on AMPA receptors, a major subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors ...

Stargazin Modulation of AMPA Receptors [PDF]
Fast excitatory synaptic signaling in the mammalian brain is mediated by AMPA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors. In neurons, AMPA receptors co-assemble with auxiliary proteins, such as stargazin, which can markedly alter receptor trafficking and gating.

Nomadic AMPA Receptors and LTP [PDF]
What are the broader implications of these two reports? One feature of LTP is its reversibility: once established, application of low-frequency stimulus train can decrease the synaptic strength. When applied to naive synapyses (i.e., in fresh brain slices), such low frequency stimulation induces a long-lasting depression of synaptic responses known as ...

AMPA Receptors Bring On the Pain [PDF]
The role of Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors in pain processing has not been extensively studied. In this issue of Neuron, Hartmann et al. show that altering the levels of these receptors has consequences for inflammatory pain hypersensitivity but not acute pain processing.

Combining ligand‐based and structure‐based methodologies, the applied virtual screening approach identified a collection of sulfonamides targeting the human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) VA isoform. 2‐(3,4‐Dihydro‐2H‐quinolin‐1‐yl)‐N‐(4‐sulfamoylphenyl)acetamide was identified as a potent and selective lead compound as a candidate for further exploitation ...
