Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis—emerging role of AMPA and kainate subtypes of ionotropic glutamate receptors

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

AMPA receptor biogenesis and trafficking

open access: yesCurrent 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.

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 ...

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

Dissecting the Activation of AMPA Receptors [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Activation of AMPA Receptors in the Lateral Habenula Produces Anxiolytic Effects in a Rat Model of Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is commonly accompanied with anxiety disorder, however, the mechanisms underlying PD-mediated anxiety remain elusive.
