摘要
α-氨基-3-羟基-5-甲基-4-异唑-丙酸(AMPARs)是调节快速突触传递的兴奋性谷氨酸受体,是由GluR1、GluR2、GluR3和GluR4四种亚基选择性组装构成同源或异源四聚物。GluR2亚基对AMPARs的特性有重要影响,含GluR2亚基的AMPARs对Ca2+不通透,中枢神经系统中大多数AMPARs为此类;不含GluR2亚基的AMPARs对Ca2+有较好的通透性,这类AMPARs在限定的神经元或特定的生理或病理条件下表达。近年来的研究发现,GluR2缺失的AMPARs对突触功能、突触可塑性、神经局部环路传导等有特殊的作用。本文对GluR2缺失的AMPARs及其对突触功能和可塑性的作用作一综述。
AMPARs are excitatory glutamate receptors that mediate the fast synaptic transmission. AMPARs are homo-or hetero-tetramers composed of selective combinations of four subunits: GluR1, GluR2, GluR3 and GluR4. AMPARs containing GluR2 are mainly in the central nervous system and are Ca^2+ impermeable. MPARs-lacking GluR2 are Ca^2+ permeable, and GluR2-qacking AMPARs are confined to certain neurons or certain physiological or pathological conditions. Recent research showed that GluR2 lacking AMPARs play special roles in the synaptic function and plasticity and transduction of local signal transduction. This paper reviews the GluR2-1acking AMPARs and their roles in the synaptic function and plasticity.
