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.

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

Shisa6 traps AMPA receptors at postsynaptic sites and prevents their desensitization during synaptic activity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Trafficking and biophysical properties of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) in the brain depend on interactions with associated proteins. We identify Shisa6, a single transmembrane protein, as a stable and directly interacting bona fide AMPAR auxiliary subunit ...

Copine-6 is a Ca2+ sensor for activity-induced AMPA receptor exocytosis

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
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-

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.

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.

AMPA Receptor Activation [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2004
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.

MicroRNA-183 Suppresses Neuropathic Pain and Expression of AMPA Receptors by Targeting mTOR/VEGF Signaling Pathway

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background: Neuropathic pain is a type of chronic pain that results from dysfunctions of the somatosensory nerve system. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of mTOR/VEGF signaling pathway on neuropathic pain and the regulation mechanisms of ...

Auxiliary Subunits Regulate the Dendritic Turnover of AMPA Receptors in Mouse Hippocampal Neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Different families of auxiliary subunits regulate the function and trafficking of native α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors in the central nervous system. While a facilitatory role of auxiliary subunits in ER export and
