Site-Directed Mutagenesis and Site-Specific Binding Analysis of Calmodulin (CaM) [PDF]
, 2017 Calcium signaling is a major regulatory system in cells and a crucial part of cell biology. An important element in the decoding of intracellular calcium concentration into downstream processes is the ubiquitous and highly conserved calcium binding ...

The essential role of AMPA receptor GluR2 subunit RNA editing in the normal and diseased brain
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012 AMPA receptors are comprised of different combinations of GluR1-GluR4 (also known as GluA1-GluA4 and GluR-A to GluR-D) subunits. The GluR2 subunit is subject to Q/R site RNA editing by the ADAR2 enzyme, which converts a codon for glutamine (Q), present ...

Clathrin-Independent Trafficking of AMPA Receptors [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 Membrane trafficking of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) is critical for neuronal function and plasticity. Although rapid forms of AMPAR internalization during long-term depression (LTD) require clathrin and dynamin, the mechanisms governing constitutive AMPAR turnover and internalization of AMPARs during slow homeostatic forms of synaptic plasticity remain ...

AMPA receptor subunit expression in the endoplasmic reticulum in frontal cortex of elderly patients with schizophrenia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Several lines of evidence indicate altered trafficking of α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate (AMPA) receptors in schizophrenia. Previous reports have shown potential changes in the trafficking of AMPA receptors based on subunit expression

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activation in Cerebelar Purkinje Cells as Substrate for Adaptive Timing of the Classicaly Conditioned Eye Blink Response [PDF]
, 1995 To understand how the cerebellum adaptively times the classically conditioned nictitating membrane response (NMR), a model of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) second messenger system in cerebellar Purkinje cells is constructed.

Mechanisms of AMPA Receptor Endosomal Sorting [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 The regulation of synaptic AMPA receptors (AMPARs) is critical for excitatory synaptic transmission, synaptic plasticity and the consequent formation of neural circuits during brain development and their modification during learning and memory processes.

Recent Findings on AMPA Receptor Recycling [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPA-Rs) are tetrameric protein complexes that mediate most of the fast-excitatory transmission in response to the neurotransmitter glutamate in neurons. The abundance of AMPA-Rs at the surface of excitatory synapses establishes the strength of the response to glutamate. It is thus evident

Acute inactivation of PSD-95 destabilizes AMPA receptors at hippocampal synapses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Postsynatptic density protein (PSD-95) is a 95 kDa scaffolding protein that assembles signaling complexes at synapses. Over-expression of PSD-95 in primary hippocampal neurons selectively increases synaptic localization of AMPA receptors; however, mice ...
