We have examined the membrane localization of an AMPA
receptor subunit (GluR1) and an NMDA receptor subunit (NR1)
endogenously expressed in primary cultures of rat hippocampal neurons.
In unstimulated cultures, both GluR1 and NR1 subunits were concentrated
in SV2-positive synaptic clusters associated with dendritic
shafts and spines. Within 5 min after the addition of 100 µM glutamate to the culture medium, a rapid and selective
redistribution of GluR1 subunits away from a subset of synaptic sites
was observed. This redistribution of GluR1 subunits was also induced by
AMPA, did not require NMDA receptor activation, did not result from
ligand-induced neurotoxicity, and was reversible after the removal of
agonist. The activation-induced redistribution of GluR1 subunits was
associated with a pronounced (~50%) decrease in the frequency of
miniature EPSCs, consistent with a role of GluR1 subunit
redistribution in mediating rapid regulation of synaptic efficacy. We
conclude that ionotropic glutamate receptors are regulated in native
neurons by rapid, subtype-specific membrane trafficking, which may
modulate synaptic transmission in response to physiological or
pathophysiological activation.
