Regulation of AMPA Receptors by Phosphorylation [PDF]

open access: yesNeurochemical Research, 2000
The AMPA receptors for glutamate are oligomeric structures that mediate fast excitatory responses in the central nervous system. Phosphorylation of AMPA receptors is an important mechanism for short-term modulation of their function, and is thought to play an important role in synaptic plasticity in different brain regions.

Gating Modes in AMPA Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2010
AMPA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that show multiple conductance levels, indicating that gating of individual AMPA subunits is to some extent independent of the other subunits. To study AMPAR subunit interactions during activation gating, we recorded from single channels in the absence of channel block and desensitization and at negative and

AMPA receptor trafficking and learning [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, 2010
AbstractIn the last few years it has become clear that AMPA‐type glutamate neurotransmitter receptors are rapidly transported into and out of synapses to strengthen or weaken their function. The remarkable dynamics of AMPA receptor (AMPAR) synaptic localization provides a compelling mechanism for understanding the cellular basis of learning and memory,

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 ...

Pharmacological characterisation of S 47445, a novel positive allosteric modulator of AMPA receptors.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
S 47445 is a novel positive allosteric modulator of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMPA) receptors (AMPA-PAM). S 47445 enhanced glutamate's action at AMPA receptors on human and rat receptors and was inactive at NMDA and ...

Modulatory mechanisms of TARP γ8-selective AMPA receptor therapeutics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
AMPA receptors associated with TARP subunits enable the development of selective AMPA receptor drugs. Here, the authors provide cryo-EM structures of receptors bound to three TARP-γ8 selective drugs, and reveal bifunctionality of one ligand.

Auxiliary subunits keep AMPA receptors compact during activation and desensitization

open access: yeseLife, 2018
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.

Epileptic syndrome in the clinical picture of the diseaseand the level of antibodies to GluR1 subunit of AMPA glutamate receptors in the patients with gliomas in the cerebral hemispheres of a brain

open access: yesУчёные записки Санкт-Петербургского государственного медицинского университета им. Акад. И.П. Павлова, 2013
The authors examined 92 patients with gliomas in the cerebral hemispheres. The immunoenzyme method was used for semiquantitative assay of the level of autoantibodies to GluR1 subunit of AMPA receptors of glutamate.

Ion channel gradients in the apical tuft region of CA1 pyramidal neurons. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Dendritic ion channels play a critical role in shaping synaptic input and are fundamentally important for synaptic integration and plasticity. In the hippocampal region CA1, somato-dendritic gradients of AMPA receptors and the hyperpolarization-activated

Glycine Potentiates AMPA Receptor Function through Metabotropic Activation of GluN2A-containing NMDA Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2016
NMDA receptors are Ca2+-permeable ion channels. The activation of NMDA receptors requires agonist glutamate and co-agonist glycine. Recent evidence indicates that NMDA receptor also has metabotropic function.
