Abstract

A role for cGMP-dependent protein kinase II in AMPA receptor trafficking and synaptic plasticity

Highlights

  • Trafficking of AMPA receptors (AMPARs) underlies the activity-dependent modification of synaptic strength and is regulated by specific interactions of AMPAR subunits with other proteins

  • CGMP is produced by soluble guanylate cyclase, which is activated by nitric oxide (NO), which is produced by nNOS under the control of the NMDA receptor

  • We have measured the rate of exogenous GluR1 endocytosis in cultured primary neurons, either the wild type or the S845A or S845D mutants (Figure 1)
