GluA2-lacking, calcium-permeable AMPA receptors--inducers of plasticity?

Abstract

AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are heterotetromeric complexes composed of GluA1-4 subunits. They are glutamate-gated channels traditionally considered solely as ion carriers for postsynaptic depolarization. However, the existence and dynamic regulation of GluA2-lacking, calcium-permeable AMPARs (Cp-AMPARs) enable these special receptors to serve also as signaling molecules presumably via calcium influx. Recent studies have implicated Cp-AMPARs in several types of synaptic plasticity, including homeostatic synaptic regulation and Hebbian synaptic plasticity. Cp-AMPARs are usually expressed transiently at an early stage of synaptic plasticity, but are then replaced with normal GluA2-containing receptors, indicating a role for Cp-AMPARs in induction, rather than the maintenance, of synaptic plasticity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
