AMPA Receptor Function in Hypothalamic Synapses [PDF]
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2022 AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are critical for mediating glutamatergic synaptic transmission and plasticity, thus playing a major role in the molecular machinery underlying cellular substrates of memory and learning. Their expression pattern, transport and regulatory mechanisms have been extensively studied in the hippocampus, but their functional properties

Transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins and AMPA receptor function in the cerebellum
Neuroscience, 2009 Heterogeneity among AMPA receptor (AMPAR) subtypes is thought to be one of the key postsynaptic factors giving rise to diversity in excitatory synaptic signaling in the CNS. Recently, compelling evidence has emerged that ancillary AMPAR subunits-the so-called transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs)-also play a vital role in influencing ...

The 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 ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) mediate the majority of excitatory neurotransmission and are implicated in various neurological disorders. In this review, we discuss the role of the two fastest iGluRs subtypes, namely, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl ...

Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors in Epilepsy: A Review Focusing on AMPA and NMDA Receptors
Biomolecules, 2020 It is widely accepted that glutamate-mediated neuronal hyperexcitation plays a causative role in eliciting seizures. Among glutamate receptors, the roles of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA ...

Modulatory mechanisms of TARP γ8-selective AMPA receptor therapeutics
Nature 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.

AMPA receptor biogenesis and trafficking
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2007 AMPA-type glutamate receptors mediate the majority of fast excitatory transmission in the central nervous system. The trafficking of AMPA receptors to and from synapses alters synaptic strength and has been recognized as a central mechanism underlying various forms of synaptic plasticity.

Dissecting the Activation of AMPA Receptors [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2013 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 ...
