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.

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

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
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-

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]
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.

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