Multiple Mechanisms for the Potentiation of AMPA Receptor-Mediated Transmission by α-Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II
Open accessAbstract
Some forms of activity-dependent synaptic potentiation require the activation of postsynaptic Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Activation of CaMKII has been shown to phosphorylate the glutamate receptor 1 subunit of the AMPA receptor (AMPAR), thereby affecting some of the properties of the receptor. Here, a recombinant, constitutively active form of alphaCaMKII tagged with the fluorescent marker green fluorescent protein (GFP) [alphaCaMKII(1-290)-enhanced GFP (EGFP)] was expressed in CA1 pyramidal neurons from hippocampal slices. The changes in glutamatergic transmission onto these cells were analyzed. AMPA but not NMDA receptor-mediated EPSCs were specifically potentiated in infected compared with nearby noninfected neurons. This potentiation was associated with a reduction in the proportion of synapses devoid of AMPARs. In addition, expression of alphaCaMKII(1-290)-EGFP increased the quantal size of AMPAR-mediated responses. This effect reflected, at least in part, an increased unitary conductance of the channels underlying the EPSCs. These results reveal that several key features of long-term potentiation of hippocampal glutamatergic synapses are reproduced by the sole activity of alphaCaMKII.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Expression of active CaMKII (121, 130–132, 209, 210, 212) or direct delivery into the cell via the recording electrode (199) has repeatedly revealed a roughly two- to threefold enhancement in the AMPAR EPSC but little change in the NMDAR EPSC (130–132).”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The number of NMDARs does not change, since constitutively active CaMKII does not affect the NMDAR EPSC (130–132) and LTP is expressed primarily on the AMPAR (19).”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“The major form of LTP identified in the brain, NMDAR-dependent LTP, is the result of increased AMPAR density in the post-synaptic membrane and/or single channel conductance of the AMPAR (Huganir and Nicoll, 2013, Herring and Nicoll, 2016, Poncer et al., 2002, Benke et al., 1998).”

In the citing paper
“overexpression of constitutively active CaMKII has little effect on synaptic NMDAR responses (130–132).”

The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“since overexpression of PSD-95 on its own potentiates AMPAR EPSCs and occludes LTP (131, 297, 298) and the S73D mutant causes a similar potentiation.”

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.
