Fractional calcium current through neuronal AMPA-receptor channels with a low calcium permeability.
The Ca(2+)-permeation properties of AMPA-receptor (AMPA-R) channels in Purkinje neurons in rat cerebellar slices were studied using a combination of whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, Fura-2 fluorometry, and single-cell reverse-transcription (RT)-PCR. Several lines of evidence indicate that Purkinje neurons, at both early and late stages of postnatal development, express exclusively AMPA-R chan...
متن کاملAMPA receptor calcium permeability, GluR2 expression, and selective motoneuron vulnerability.
AMPA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity is proposed to play a major pathogenic role in the selective motoneuron death of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Motoneurons have been shown in various models to be more susceptible to AMPA receptor-mediated injury than other spinal neurons. It has been hypothesized that this selective vulnerability of motoneurons is caused by the expression of highly Ca(2+)...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms controlling calcium entry through AMPA-type glutamate receptor channels
Glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), activates two types of ionotropic glutamate receptors (GluRs). According to their pharmacological properties, they are termed ~-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA)/kainate receptors (or non-NMDARs) and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs). The two types of receptors differ in sev...
متن کاملTrafficking of neuronal calcium channels
Neuronal voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) serve complex yet essential physiological functions via their pivotal role in translating electrical signals into intracellular calcium elevations and associated downstream signalling pathways. There are a number of regulatory mechanisms to ensure a dynamic control of the number of channels embedded in the plasma membrane, whereas alteration of th...
متن کاملInactivation of Neuronal Calcium Channels
NATURE REVIEWS | NEUROSCIENCE VOLUME 3 | NOVEMBER 2002 | 873 Voltage-gated Ca channels (VGCCs) are a large family of integral membrane proteins that control the selective flow of Ca ions down their electrochemical gradient in response to changes in membrane potential (BOX 1; TABLE 1). Ca ions control processes as diverse as cell proliferation, neuronal development and transmitter release. All o...
