In contrast to the rapid regulation of AMPA receptors, previous
evidence has supported the idea that the synaptic density of NMDA-type
glutamate receptors is fairly static, modulated only over a long time
scale in a homeostatic manner. We report here that selective activation
of protein kinase C (PKC) with phorbol esters induces a
rapid dispersal of NMDA receptors from synaptic to extrasynaptic plasma
membrane in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. PKC activation induced a
simultaneous translocation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II
(CaMKII) to synapses but no change in spine number, presynaptic
terminal number, or the distribution of AMPA receptors or the synaptic
scaffolding protein PSD-95. PKC-induced accumulation of CaMKII was
dependent on filamentous actin, whereas dispersal of NMDA receptors
occurred by a different mechanism independent of actin or CaMKII.
Consistent with the decrease in synaptic density of NMDA receptors,
phorbol ester pretreatment reduced excitotoxicity. These results reveal
a surprisingly dynamic nature to the molecular composition and
functional properties of glutamatergic postsynaptic specializations.
