Multiple Routes for Glutamate Receptor Trafficking: Surface Diffusion and Membrane Traffic Cooperate to Bring Receptors to Synapses [PDF]

Science's STKE (electronic resource) : signal transduction knowledge environment 327 (21/03/2006) 13, 2007
Trafficking of glutamate receptors into and out of synapses is critically involved in the plasticity of excitatory synaptic transmission. Endocytosis and exocytosis of receptors have initially been thought to account alone for this trafficking. However, membrane proteins also traffic through surface lateral diffusion in the plasma membrane. We describe

Nicotinic α7 acetylcholine receptor-mediated currents are not modulated by the tryptophan metabolite kynurenic acid in adult hippocampal interneurons [PDF]

, 2012
The tryptophan metabolite, kynurenic acid (KYNA), is classically known to be an antagonist of ionotropic glutamate receptors. Within the last decade several reports have been published suggesting that KYNA also blocks nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) containing the \alpha7 subunit (\alpha7*).

Short-Term Postsynaptic Plasticity Facilitates Predictive Tracking in Continuous Attractors [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is a crucial component of synaptic transmission, and its dysfunction is implicated in many neurological diseases and psychiatric conditions. NMDAR-based short-term postsynaptic plasticity (STPP) is a newly discovered postsynaptic response facilitation mechanism.

Block of NMDA receptor channels by endogenous neurosteroids: implications for the agonist induced conformational states of the channel vestibule [PDF]

, 2015
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) mediate synaptic plasticity, and their dysfunction is implicated in multiple brain disorders. NMDARs can be allosterically modulated by numerous compounds, including endogenous neurosteroid pregnanolone sulfate ...

Structure, function, and allosteric modulation of NMDA receptors

The Journal of General Physiology, 2018
NMDA-type glutamate receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate a Ca2+-permeable component of excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system (CNS).

Proteome Size Is Positively Correlated with Lifespan in Mammals but Negatively Correlated with Lifespan in Birds

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The relationship between proteome size, amino acid composition, and lifespan across 276 vertebrate species is investigated. Proteome size correlates positively with lifespan in mammals but negatively in birds and fish. While proteome composition varies among classes, no single amino acid frequency correlates with lifespan.

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 ...

CRF1/CRF2 and MC3/MC4 Receptors Affect Glutamate- Induced Food Intake in Neonatal Meat-Type Chicken

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2019
Central glutamate, melanocortin and corticotropin systems have mediatory role on several physiologic functions in the brain, but their interactions on appetite regulation are not fully elicited.

Fathoming the kynurenine pathway in migraine: why understanding the enzymatic cascades is still critically important [PDF]

, 2015
Kynurenine pathway, the quantitatively main branch of tryptophan metabolism, has been long been considered a source of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, although several of its products, the so-called kynurenines, are endowed with the capacity to ...

Endogenous Interleukin-1β in Neuropathic Rats Enhances Glutamate Release from the Primary Afferents in the Spinal Dorsal Horn through Coupling with Presynaptic N-Methyl-d-aspartic Acid Receptors*♦

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Background: Excessive activation of glutamate receptors is crucial to the genesis of neuropathic pain. Results: Endogenous IL-1β in neuropathic rats enhances glutamate release by increasing presynaptic NMDA receptor activities via sphingomyelinase ...
