Abstract

Dancing with AMPARs A type of transmembrane receptor for glutamate, known as AMPAR, mediates most of the fast excitatory transmission in the mammalian central nervous system. Their function is regulated by the composition of their subunits, posttranslational modifications, and protein-protein interactions. Recently, several proteins that interact with AMPARs have been identified that affect their subcellular localization, synaptic stabilization, and kinetics. Using proteomic analysis, immunohistochemistry, and electrophysiology, von Engelhardt et al. (p. 1518 , published online 25 February; see the Perspective by Farrant and Cull-Candy ) identified a protein, CKAMP44, which modulates postsynaptic AMPA receptor gating, deactivation, and desentization.
