Abstract

Exciting new milestones in glutamate receptor (GluR) channel research include the following: the cloning of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors; delineation of molecular determinants for ion flow through glutamate-gated channels; the discovery that Ca2+ permeability of non-NMDA receptor channels is determined by RNA editing; the construction of antibodies and their use in immunocytochemical localizations of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl isoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunits in the rat brain; and the return to prominence of the high-affinity kainate site with the publication of cDNA sequences for subunits (GluR-5, -6, -7; KA-1, -2) constituting subtypes of this site. Major unresolved issues comprise the transmembrane topology and subunit stoichiometries of native receptor channels.

      The other form is the late phase LTP (L-LTP), which is induced by multiple trains of HFS spaced at relatively long intervals and requires de novo protein synthesis for its expression stage (Huang et al., 1996; Woo et al., 2003; Kim et al., 2010; Park et al., 2013, 2016). The glutamate ionotropic AMPARs are extensively expressed in neurons and glial cells of the central nervous system (for review see, Wisden and Seeburg, 1993; Belachew and Gallo, 2004; Mayer, 2016; Hell, 2016; Henley and Wilkinson, 2016). These receptors mediate the usual excitation by allowing influx of sodium ions, which causes the depolarization necessary to activate the NMDAR.
