Bidirectional regulation of synaptic SUMOylation by Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors
AbstractSUMOylation is a post-translational modification essential to cell homeostasis. A tightly controlled equilibrium between SUMOylation and deSUMOylation processes is also critical to the neuronal function including neurotransmitter release and synaptic transmission and plasticity. Disruption of the SUMOylation homeostasis in neurons is associated

Differential alteration of synaptic versus extrasynaptic NMDARs in P301S mice. Reduced density of synaptic NMDARs in excitatory synapses in the hippocampus of P301S mice at 10 months. NMDARs at excitatory synapses established on pyramidal cell spines and interneurons are significantly reduced in the CA1 region of the hippocampus compared to age‐matched

The fate of interneurons, GABAA receptor sub‐types and perineuronal nets in Alzheimer's disease
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurological disease, which is associated with gradual memory loss and correlated with synaptic hyperactivity and abnormal oscillatory rhythmic brain activity that precedes phenotypic alterations and is partly responsible for the spread of the disease pathology.

Kainate receptor modulation by NETO2 [PDF]
Glutamate-gated kainate receptors (KARs) are ubiquitous in the central nervous system of vertebrates, mediate synaptic transmission on post-synapse, and modulate transmitter release on pre-synapse. In the brain, the trafficking, gating kinetics, and pharmacology of KARs are tightly regulated by Neuropilin and tolloid-like proteins (Netos).

Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Albuminuria and Glomerular Damage in Mice Lacking the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 [PDF]
The metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor 1 (GRM1) has been shown to play an important role in neuronal cells by triggering, through calcium release from intracellular stores, various signaling pathways that finally modulate neuron excitability, synaptic plasticity, and mechanisms of feedback regulation of neurotransmitter release.

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum
Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype-1 is essential for in vivo growth of melanoma [PDF]
Ectopic expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 1 (mGluR1) in mouse melanocytes induces melanoma formation. Although requirement of mGluR1 for development of melanoma in the initial stage has been demonstrated, its role in melanoma growth in vivo remains unclear. In this study, we developed novel transgenic mice that conditionally express

The cellular mechanisms regulating dopamine (DA) release in the striatum have attracted much interest in recent years. By in vitro amperometric recordings in mouse striatal slices, we show that a brief (5 min) exposure to the metabotropic glutamate ...

A Critical Role for Sorting Nexin 1 in the Trafficking of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]
Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) function as modulators of neuronal physiology and they have also been implicated in various neuropsychiatric disorders. Trafficking of mGluRs plays important roles in controlling the precise localization of these receptors at specific region of the cell, as well as it regulates the activity of these ...
