Emotional stress increases GluA2 expression and potentiates fear memory via adenylyl cyclase 5
Summary: Stress can alter behavior and contributes to psychiatric disorders by regulating the expression of the GluA2 AMPA receptor subunit. We have previously shown in mice that exposure to predator odor stress elevates GluA2 transcription in cerebellar

The Frmpd3 Protein Regulates Susceptibility to Epilepsy by Combining with GRIP and GluA2
Frmpd3 (FERM and PDZ Domain Containing 3), a scaffold protein potentially involved in excitatory synaptic function, has not been thoroughly characterized in terms of its expression and functional role in vivo.

Evaluation of PhTX-74 as Subtype-Selective Inhibitor of GluA2-Containing AMPA Receptors
The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptors (AMPARs) are glutamate-gated cation channels that mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system.

Spinal α2δ-1 induces GluA3 degradation to regulate assembly of calcium-permeable AMPA receptors and pain hypersensitivity [PDF]
The increased prevalence of GluA2-lacking, Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors (CP-AMPARs) at spinal cord sensory synapses amplifies nociceptive transmission and maintains chronic neuropathic pain.

Background RNA editing at the Q/R site of GluA2 occurs with ~99% efficiency in the healthy brain, so that the majority of AMPARs contain GluA2(R) instead of the exonically encoded GluA2(Q).

AbstractHippocampal dendritic spine density rapidly increases following estradiol (E2) treatment, but the types of spines and trafficking of synaptic markers have received little investigation. We assessed rapid effects of E2 over time on the density of four spine types (stubby, filopodial, long thin, and mushroom) and trafficking of AMPA receptor ...

Role of Site-Specific N-Glycans Expressed on GluA2 in the Regulation of Cell Surface Expression of AMPA-Type Glutamate Receptors. [PDF]
The AMPA-type glutamate receptor (AMPAR), which is a tetrameric complex composed of four subunits (GluA1-4) with several combinations, mediates the majority of rapid excitatory synaptic transmissions in the nervous system.

Summary: Synaptotagmin III (Syt3) is a Ca2+-dependent membrane-traffic protein that is highly concentrated in synaptic plasma membranes and affects synaptic plasticity by regulating post-synaptic receptor endocytosis.

Disruption of GluA2 phosphorylation potentiates stress responsivity [PDF]
Cocaine addiction is characterized by persistent craving and addicts frequently relapse even after long periods of abstinence. Exposure to stress can precipitate relapse in humans and rodents. Stress and drug use can lead to common alterations in synaptic plasticity and these commonalities may contribute to the ability of stress to elicit relapse ...
