Abstract

Phosphorylation regulates glutamate receptor trafficking. The cytosolic C‐terminal domains of both NMDA receptors (NMDARs) and AMPA receptors (AMPARs) have distinct motifs, which are substrates for serine/threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation. Decades of research have shown how phosphorylation of glutamate receptors mediates protein binding and receptor trafficking, ultimately controlling synaptic transmission and plasticity. STEP is a protein tyrosine phosphatase (also known as PTPN5), with several isoforms resulting from alternative splicing. Targets of STEP include a variety of important synaptic substrates, among which are the tyrosine kinase Fyn and glutamate receptors. In particular, STEP 61, the longest isoform, dephosphorylates the NMDAR subunit GluN2B and strongly regulates the expression of NMDARs at synapses. This interplay between STEP, Fyn and GluN2B‐containing NMDARs has been characterized by multiple groups. More recently, STEP 61 was shown to bind to AMPARs in a subunit‐specific manner and differentially regulate synaptic NMDARs and AMPARs. Because of its many effects on synaptic proteins, STEP has been implicated in regulating excitatory synapses during plasticity and playing a role in synaptic dysfunction in a variety of neurological disorders. In this review, we will highlight the ways in which STEP 61 differentially regulates NMDARs and AMPARs, as well as its role in plasticity and disease. image

  • Genes related to structural adhesion and stability were enriched in the ventral horn of the spinal cord.

    “In contrast, genes related to structural adhesion and stability were enriched in the ventral horn of the spinal cord, including (1) genes related to cell-cell adhesion such as Lrrtm3, Cntn5, Cdh18, and Sdk1; (2) genes related to perineuronal net components such as Bcan (Brevican) and Tnr (Tenascin R), and genes related to limiting the signal transduction pathways associated with LTP such as Ptpn5”
  • Within the ventral horn, structural stability-related genes included components of perineuronal nets such as Tnr (Tenascin-R), as well as adhesion molecules such as Sdk1 and intracellular signaling components such as Ptpn5 (STEP).

    “Within the ventral horn, this included components of perineuronal nets (which are thought to restrict plasticity and had been previously detected in the ventral spinal cord110,111) such as Tnr (Tenascin-R), as well as adhesion molecules such as Sdk1 and intracellular signaling components such as Ptpn5 (STEP) which de-phosphorylates CAMK2α, NMDA receptors, and ERK kinases33.”

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.
