We used actin-perturbing agents and detergent extraction of primary
hippocampal cultures to test directly the role of the actin
cytoskeleton in localizing GABAA receptors, AMPA- and
NMDA-type glutamate receptors, and potential anchoring proteins at
postsynaptic sites. Excitatory postsynaptic sites on dendritic spines
contained a high concentration of F-actin that was resistant to
cytochalasin D but could be depolymerized using the novel compound
latrunculin A. Depolymerization of F-actin led to a 40% decrease in
both the number of synaptic NMDA receptor (NMDAR1) clusters and the
number of AMPA receptor (GluR1)-labeled spines. The nonsynaptic NMDA receptors appeared to remain clustered and to coalesce in cell bodies.
-Actinin-2, which binds both actin and NMDA receptors, dissociated
from the receptor clusters, but PSD-95 remained associated with both
the synaptic and nonsynaptic receptor clusters, consistent with a
proposed cross-linking function. AMPA receptors behaved differently; on
GABAergic neurons, the clusters redistributed to nonsynaptic sites,
whereas on pyramidal neurons, many of the clusters appeared to
disperse. Furthermore, in control neurons, AMPA receptors were
detergent extractable from pyramidal cell spines, whereas AMPA
receptors on GABAergic neurons and NMDA receptors were unextractable.
GABAA receptors were not dependent on F-actin for the
maintenance or synaptic localization of clusters. These results
indicate fundamental differences in the mechanisms of receptor
anchoring at postsynaptic sites, both regarding the anchoring of a
single receptor (the AMPA receptor) in pyramidal cells versus GABAergic
interneurons and regarding the anchoring of different receptors (AMPA
vs NMDA receptors) at a single class of postsynaptic sites on pyramidal
cell dendritic spines.
Key words:
actin; postsynaptic density; AMPA receptor; NMDA
receptor; GABA receptor; dendritic spine; PSD-95
