Actin/alpha-actinin-dependent transport of AMPA receptors in dendritic spines: role of the PDZ-LIM protein RIL [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The efficacy of excitatory transmission in the brain depends to a large extent on synaptic AMPA receptors, hence the importance of understanding the delivery and recycling of the receptors at the synaptic sites.

p97 regulates GluA1 homomeric AMPA receptor formation and plasma membrane expression

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
AMPA receptors mediate excitatory synaptic transmission and are involved in synaptic plasticity. The authors show that p97 interacts with the GluA1 subunit of AMPA receptors, promotes the formation of GluA1 homomeric AMPA receptors, and regulates AMPA ...

Direct imaging of lateral movements of AMPA receptors inside synapses [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO J 22, 18 (15/09/2003) 4656-65, 2007
Trafficking of AMPA receptors in and out of synapses is crucial for synaptic plasticity. Previous studies have focused on the role of endo/exocytosis processes or that of lateral diffusion of extra-synaptic receptors. We have now directly imaged AMPAR movements inside and outside synapses of live neurons using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy ...

Architecture and subunit arrangement of native AMPA receptors elucidated by cryo-EM

open access: yesScience, 2019
Diversity in ion channel complexes AMPA receptors are glutamate activated ion channels that mediate fast synaptic transmission in the nervous system and play a key role in learning and memory.

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 ...

Increased accuracy of ligand sensing by receptor diffusion on cell surface [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E 82, 041902 (2010), 2010
The physical limit with which a cell senses external ligand concentration corresponds to the perfect absorber, where all ligand particles are absorbed and overcounting of same ligand particles does not occur. Here we analyze how the lateral diffusion of receptors on the cell membrane affects the accuracy of sensing ligand concentration.

Activity-Dependent Modulation of Synaptic AMPA Receptor Accumulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Both theoretical and experimental work have suggested that central neurons compensate for changes in excitatory synaptic input in order to maintain a relatively constant output.

LGI1 antibodies alter Kv1.1 and AMPA receptors changing synaptic excitability, plasticity and memory

open access: yesBrain : a journal of neurology, 2018
Leucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a secreted neuronal protein that forms a trans-synaptic complex that includes the presynaptic disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 23 (ADAM23), which interacts with voltage-gated ...
