Revising Berg-Purcell for finite receptor kinetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
From nutrient uptake, to chemoreception, to synaptic transmission, many systems in cell biology depend on molecules diffusing and binding to membrane receptors. Mathematical analysis of such systems often neglects the fact that receptors process molecules at finite kinetic rates.

Dynamic Regulation of N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) and α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic Acid (AMPA) Receptors by Posttranslational Modifications*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Many molecular mechanisms underlie the changes in synaptic glutamate receptor content that are required by neuronal networks to generate cellular correlates of learning and memory.

AMPA receptor biogenesis and trafficking

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2007
AMPA-type glutamate receptors mediate the majority of fast excitatory transmission in the central nervous system. The trafficking of AMPA receptors to and from synapses alters synaptic strength and has been recognized as a central mechanism underlying various forms of synaptic plasticity.

Development of AMPA Receptor Aptamers [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2010
The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) subtype of glutamate ion channel receptors plays an essential role in the mammalian brain activities such as memory and learning, whereas the excessive receptor activation has been implicated in neurological diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Auxiliary Subunits Regulate the Dendritic Turnover of AMPA Receptors in Mouse Hippocampal Neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Different families of auxiliary subunits regulate the function and trafficking of native α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors in the central nervous system. While a facilitatory role of auxiliary subunits in ER export and

Ligand‐directed delivery of fluorophores to track native calcium‐permeable AMPA receptors in neuronal cultures

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, 2015
Subcellular trafficking of neuronal receptors is known to play a key role in synaptic development, homeostasis, and plasticity. We have developed a ligand‐targeted and photo‐cleavable probe for delivering a synthetic fluorophore to AMPA receptors ...

The role of AMPA receptors in postsynaptic mechanisms of synaptic plasticity

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
In the mammalian central nervous system, excitatory glutamatergic synapses harness neurotransmission that is mediated by ion flow through α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs).

PKA drives an increase in AMPA receptor unitary conductance during LTP in the hippocampus

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Long-term potentiation at hippocampal CA1 synapses can be due to increasing the number and/or single-channel conductance of AMPA receptors. The authors show that PKA and CaMKII are necessary and together sufficient to increase single channel conductance,

Single NanoParticle Photothermal Tracking (SNaPT) of 5 nm gold beads in live cells [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal 91, 12 (15/12/2006) 4598, 2007
Tracking individual nano-objets in live cells during arbitrary long times is an ubiquitous need in modern biology. We present here a method for tracking individual 5 nm gold nanoparticles on live cells. It relies on the photothermal effect and the detection of the Laser Induced Scattering around a NanoAbsorber (LISNA).

Critical postsynaptic density 95/disc large/zonula occludens-1 interactions by glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1) and GluR2 required at different subcellular sites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Interactions between AMPA receptor subunits and proteins containing postsynaptic density 95/disc large/zonula occludens-1 (PDZ) domains have been shown to play critical roles in the proper trafficking of receptors to excitatory synapses.
