Selective targeting of neurotransmitter receptors to specific
synapse populations occurs in adult neurons, but little is known about
the development of these receptor distribution patterns. In this study,
we demonstrate that a specific developmental switch occurs in the
targeting of a receptor to an identified synapse population.
Localization of delta and AMPA glutamate receptors at parallel and
climbing fiber synapses on the developing Purkinje cells was studied
using postembedding immunogold. Delta receptors were found to be
abundant on postsynaptic membranes at parallel fiber synapses from
postnatal day 10 (P10) to adult. In contrast, delta receptors were
found to be high at climbing fiber synapses only at P10 and P14. Thus,
a major finding of this paper is that high levels of delta receptors
are transiently expressed in climbing fiber synapses in the second
postnatal week. Labeling of synapses with anti-delta receptor antibody
at P10 was limited to the postsynaptic membrane of excitatory synapses
and was absent from GABAergic synapses. Unlike delta receptor
immunolabeling, AMPA receptor immunolabeling (GluR2/3 and GluR2
antibodies) was high in the postsynaptic membranes of synapses at early
postnatal ages (P2 and P5) and was higher in climbing fiber synapses
than in parallel fiber synapses from P10 to adult. The present study
shows that synapse-specific targeting of glutamate receptors in
Purkinje cells is developmentally regulated, with the postsynaptic
receptor composition established during synapse maturation. This
composition is not dependent on the nature of the initial establishment
of synaptic connections.
