Abstract

Signaling at the synapse Neurons signal to each other at synapses using neurotransmitters. Glutamate is a key neurotransmitter, and AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) mediate rapid responses to glutamate release. These receptors mainly occur as heteromers comprising GluA1-4 subunits. Herguedas et al. used electron microscopy and x-ray crystallography to determine the structure of GluA2/3 and GluA2/4 heteromers. The structures differ from those determined previously for GluA2 homomers but emphasize how signals may be transmitted through these dynamic receptors.
