AMPA and Kainate Receptors Each Mediate Excitotoxicity in Oligodendroglial Cultures
Neurobiology of Disease, 1999 Recent studies indicate that oligodendrocytes are vulnerable to excitotoxic insults mediated by glutamate receptors. The present study was carried out to characterize the type of glutamate receptors triggering cell death in optic nerve oligodendrocyte ...

Posttranslational Modification Biology of Glutamate Receptors and Drug Addiction
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011 Posttranslational covalent modifications of glutamate receptors remain a hot topic. Early studies have established that this family of receptors, including almost all ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptor subtypes, undergoes active ...

Possible Role of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Glutamate Receptors in The Induction of Acrosome Reaction in Human Sperm [PDF]
Cell JournalObjective: Acrosome reaction is a receptor and Ca2+-dependent process. N-Methyl-D- aspartate (NMDA) glutamatereceptors are expressed in the human sperm and are involved in the Ca2+ influx.

Nature Communications, 2021 Here, the authors use smFRET to assess the structural dynamics of metabotropic glutamate receptor mGlu2 and show that a positive allosteric modulator or the Gi protein stabilize mGlu2 in the glutamate-induced active state, leading to the full activation ...

eLife, 2020 Glutamate delta (GluD) receptors belong to the ionotropic glutamate receptor family, yet they don’t bind glutamate and are considered orphan. Progress in defining the ion channel function of GluDs in neurons has been hindered by a lack of pharmacological

Discerning protein pools by selective staining with self‐labeling tags
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cell surface proteins have an intra‐ and extracellular pool. Combining genetic fusion to self‐labeling tags that can be addressed with small molecule fluorophores allows separating these pools. We highlight recent developments and techniques for state‐of‐the‐art interrogation of cell surface proteins in the complex tissue setting.

Regulation of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 7a by PDZ-domain protein PICK1 [PDF]
, 2007 Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 7 (mGluR7) belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors. mGluR7 is widely distributed in the brain and primarily localized at presynaptic terminals, where it is thought to regulate neurotransmitter release ...

The effect of N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate and N-acetyl-aspartate on white matter oligodendrocytes [PDF]
, 2009 Elevations of the levels of N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) and N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) are associated with myelin loss in the leucodystrophies Canavan's disease and Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease. NAAG and NAA can activate and antagonize neuronal
