“…The multimeric ATPase NSF has also been implicated in stellate cell plasticity 105 . NSF interacts with GluA2 and blockade of the GluA2-NSF interaction results in a rapid rundown in AMPAR EPSCs, supporting a role for NSF in constitutive cycling of GluA2-containing AMPARs 107 . In stellate cells, blocking the GluA2-NSF interaction did not affect the extrasynaptic pool of GluA2, but did prevent the activity-dependent switch between CP-and CI-AMPARs.…”

General rightsThis document is made available in accordance with publisher policies. Please cite only the published version using the reference above. PrefaceAMPARs are assemblies of four core subunits, GluA1-4, that mediate most fast excitatory neurotransmission. The component subunits determine the functional properties of AMPARs and the prevailing view is that the subunit composition also determines AMPAR trafficking, which is dynamically regulated during development, synaptic plasticity, and in response to neuronal stress in disease. Recently, the subunit-dependence of AMPAR trafficking has been questioned leading to a reappraisal of the field. Here we review what is known, uncertain, conjectured and unknown about the roles of individual subunits and how they impact on AMPAR assembly, trafficking and function under normal and pathological conditions. IntroductionAMPA receptors (AMPARs) are a subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors that are the 'work-horses' of fast excitatory neurotransmission in the CNS. Developmentallyand activity-regulated changes in the numbers and properties of AMPARs localized at the postsynaptic membrane are essential for excitatory synapse formation, stabilization, synaptic plasticity and neural circuit formation. Consequently, the logistics of the delivery, retention and removal of individual AMPARs with defined subunit compositions at specific synapses is highly complex. A typical cortical or hippocampal pyramidal neuron contains on the order of 10,000 synapses and the AMPARs at each synapse are independently and dynamically regulated in response to developmental cues, synaptic activity and environmental stresses. Furthermore, defects in the processes that control AMPAR assembly, trafficking and synaptic expression are intimately linked to psychiatric and neurological conditions, and also with cognitive decline in neurodegenerative diseases. Remarkable progress has been achieved in understanding how AMPAR trafficking, is orchestrated by a large array of AMPAR interacting proteins. These studies have established a set of hierarchical subunit-specific rules that control AMPAR trafficking under basal and activity-dependent conditions. Furthermore, there has been a growing appreciation that subunit composition can tune the properties of AMPARs to specific conditions. Nonetheless, how AMPARs comprising different subunits are differentially trafficked to control synaptic development, stabilisation and plasticity is a key unanswered question. Here, we provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of subunit-specific AMPAR trafficking and outline what we believe to be the key unresolved questions in the field. 2 Subunit-specific traffickingMost AMPARs are heterotetrameric assemblies of combinations of the subunits GluA1, GluA2, GluA3 and GluA4. AMPARs are expressed in both neurons and glia throughout the CNS 1 and have a turnover time of between 10 hours and 2 days depending on the type of neuron and developmental stage 2,3 . Each subunit has an identical membrane topology and c...

“…To date, studies of AMPA receptor trafficking have focused on the presence or absence of AMPA receptors at synaptic sites, or on internal versus surface expression [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][15][16][17][18] . However, the multiple subunits of AMPA receptors interact differentially with diverse cytoplasmic proteins including GRIP/ABP, PICK1, NSF and SAP97, all of which have been implicated in synaptic targeting of AMPA receptors 3,5,17,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] .

Distinct molecular mechanisms and divergent endocytotic pathways of AMPA receptor internalization

articlesThe AMPA class of ionotropic glutamate receptors mediates most of the fast excitatory synaptic transmission in mammalian brain 1 . Changing the responsiveness of postsynaptic AMPA receptors offers a powerful way to regulate excitatory synaptic transmission. Among the mechanisms proposed for modification of AMPA receptor activity, one of the simplest is a change in the number of AMPA receptors in the postsynaptic membrane. Studies suggest that AMPA receptors can move in and out of the postsynaptic membrane on a rapid time scale (for review, see ref.2). Moreover, changes in postsynaptic membrane trafficking or in synaptic targeting of AMPA receptors have been correlated with alterations in synaptic efficacy [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] .In developing neurons in culture, synaptic expression of AMPA receptors is modulated over a period of days by relative levels of AMPA and NMDA receptor activity [10][11][12] . Mature neurons in culture also exhibit slow changes in synaptic AMPA receptor expression in response to chronic changes in endogenous activity 9,13,14 . On a faster time scale, induction of long-term depression (LTD) or acute application of AMPA or insulin can induce a loss of AMPA receptors from the cell surface of cultured hippocampal neurons within minutes 3,6,9,15 . Conversely, induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) and activation of CaMKII are correlated with a rapid recruitment of AMPA receptors to the postsynaptic membrane 5,8 . Thus, the synaptic content of AMPA receptors can change bidirectionally on a fast time scale and result in altered synaptic transmission.Little is known about the cell biological pathways or molecular mechanisms of postsynaptic AMPA receptor trafficking. To date, studies of AMPA receptor trafficking have focused on the presence or absence of AMPA receptors at synaptic sites, or on internal versus surface expression [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][15][16][17][18] . However, the multiple subunits of AMPA receptors interact differentially with diverse cytoplasmic proteins including GRIP/ABP, PICK1, NSF and SAP97, all of which have been implicated in synaptic targeting of AMPA receptors 3,5,17,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] . The diversity of AMPA receptor protein interactions, and their regulation by phosphorylation 28 , suggest that AMPA receptor trafficking is likely to be regulated by varied mechanisms.Here we report that multiple distinct pathways exist for AMPA receptor endocytosis in cultured hippocampal neurons. We have quantified a basal rate of AMPA receptor internalization, which can be enhanced by a variety of stimuli including synaptic activity, ligand binding to AMPA receptors, insulin and calcium influx. Different internalizing stimuli use distinct intracellular signaling mechanisms, different endosomal sorting pathways and distinct sequence determinants within AMPA receptor subunits to effect AMPA receptor endocytosis. RESULTS Ligand-dependent endocytosis of AMPA receptorsTranslocation of AMPA receptors from cell surface to intracellular compartments was visu...

“…Most studied in this respect are the actions of CNS glutamatergic receptors that participate in numerous signal transduction and regulatory events. Prominent examples include forms of synaptic plasticity involving a rapid redistribution of AMPA receptors on the cell surface as well as transfer between surface and intracellular locations (Nishimune et al, 1998;Osten et al, 1998;Carroll et al, 1999;Luscher et al, 1999;Hayashi et al, 2000;Hanley et al, 2002). NMDA receptors undergo several other forms of calcium-controlled regulation including activity-dependent inactivation and rundown (Legendre et al, 1993;Westbrook, 1993a, 1993b;Westbrook et al, 1997;Wyszynski et al, 1997;Zhang et al, 1998;Krupp et al, 1999).…”

Nicotinic α7 receptors: Synaptic options and downstream signaling in neurons

Nicotinic receptors are cation-ion selective ligand-gated ion channels that are expressed throughout the nervous system. Most have significant calcium permeabilities, enabling them to regulate calcium-dependent events. One of the most abundant is a species composed of the ␣7 gene product and having a relative calcium permeability equivalent to that of NMDA receptors. The ␣7-containing receptors can be found presynaptically where they modulate transmitter release, and postsynaptically where they generate excitatory responses. They can also be found in perisynaptic locations where they modulate other inputs to the neuron and can activate a variety of downstream signaling pathways. The effects the receptors produce depend critically on the sites at which they are clustered. Instructive preparations for examining ␣7-containing receptors are the rat hippocampus, where they are thought to play a modulatory role, and the chick ciliary ganglion, where they participate in throughput transmission as well as regulatory signaling. Relatively high levels of ␣7-containing receptors are found in the two preparations, and the receptors display a variety of synaptic options and functions in the two cases. Progress is starting to be made in understanding the mechanisms responsible for localizing the receptors at specific sites and in identifying components tethered in the vicinity of the receptors that may facilitate signal transduction and downstream signaling.
