Disassembly of Shank and Homer Synaptic Clusters Is Driven by Soluble β-Amyloid1-40 through Divergent NMDAR-Dependent Signalling Pathways
Disruption of the postsynaptic density (PSD), a network of scaffold proteins located in dendritic spines, is thought to be responsible for synaptic dysfunction and loss in early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD). Extending our previous demonstration that derangement of the PSD by soluble amyloid-beta (Abeta) involves proteasomal degradation of PSD-95, a protein important for ionotropic glutamate r...
متن کاملSpike-Driven Glutamate Electrodiffusion Triggers Synaptic Potentiation via a Homer-Dependent mGluR-NMDAR Link
Electric fields of synaptic currents can influence diffusion of charged neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, in the synaptic cleft. However, this phenomenon has hitherto been detected only through sustained depolarization of large principal neurons, and its adaptive significance remains unknown. Here, we find that in cerebellar synapses formed on electrically compact granule cells, a single po...
متن کاملDatumetine Preferentially Upregulates NMDAR Signalling Pathways in Different Brain Regions of Mice
Background: We earlier reported that datumetine possesses binding affinity with NMDAR and that 14-day exposure to datumetine altered NMDAR signalling by mimicking glutamate toxicity. Here, we investigated the potential neuroprotective effect of a single shot of a low dose of datumetine administration in BALB/c mice. Results: Relative to Veh, datumetine downregulate the expression of CamKIIα i...
متن کاملRegulation of Dendritic Spine Morphology and Synaptic Function by Shank and Homer
The Shank family of proteins interacts with NMDA receptor and metabotropic glutamate receptor complexes in the postsynaptic density (PSD). Targeted to the PSD by a PDZ-dependent mechanism, Shank promotes the maturation of dendritic spines and the enlargement of spine heads via its ability to recruit Homer to postsynaptic sites. Shank and Homer cooperate to induce accumulation of IP3 receptors i...
متن کاملSoluble beta-amyloid1-40 induces NMDA-dependent degradation of postsynaptic density-95 at glutamatergic synapses.
Amyloid-beta (Abeta) has been implicated in memory loss and disruption of synaptic plasticity observed in early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Recently, it has been shown that soluble Abeta oligomers target synapses in cultured rat hippocampal neurons, suggesting a direct role of Abeta in the regulation of synaptic structure and function. Postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) is a postsynaptic scaffoldi...
