چکیده
Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain. Among the ionotropic glutamate receptors, a-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA) glutamate receptors are the major receptors mediating excitatory fast synaptic transmission. AMPA receptors are also responsible for modifying synaptic strength through the regulation of their numbers at synapses. Their high regulatability, therefore, could contribute to the mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. The mechanisms regulating AMPA receptor trafficking have evoked great interest through the decades. Recent studies show that in the brain, AMPA receptors make complexes with transmembrane AMPA regulatory proteins (TARPs), which serve as auxiliary subunits. TARPs are required for AMPA receptor function and trafficking. After the initial discovery of TARPs, several other AMPA receptor auxiliary subunits were identified: CNIH-2, CNIH-3, CKAMP44, SynDIG1, SOL-1, SOL-2 and GSG-1L. This review discusses progress in identifying the role of auxiliary subunits in AMPA receptor trafficking.

متن کاملMeshless Hierarchical Radiosity on the GPU
Meshless radiosity [1, 2] is a radiosity method that is based on a point-based and hierarchical discretization of the scene. This better decouples the runtime complexity from the geometric complexity of the scene and allows for an adaptive high-quality simulation of the diffuse global light transport. In this paper, we analyze the bottlenecks of this approach and examine the possibilities for a...
متن کاملDynamic Focus + Context for Volume Rendering
Interactive visualization is widely used in many applications for efficient representation of complex data. Many techniques make use of the focus+context approach in a static manner. These techniques do not fully make use of the interaction semantics. In this paper we present a dynamic focus+context approach that highlights salient features during user interaction. We explore rotation, panning,...
متن کاملIdentification of protein kinase C phosphorylation sites in the angiotensin II (AT1A) receptor.
Protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylates the C-terminus of the type 1 angiotensin II receptor (AT(1)), although the exact site(s) of phosphorylation are unidentified. In the present study, we examined the phosphorylation of epitope-tagged wild-type AT(1A) receptors, transiently expressed in Chinese hamster ovary K1 cells, in response to angiotensin II (AngII) and following selective activation and...
