Endocytosis, exocytosis, and lateral diffusion are key mechanisms for AMPA receptor trafficking. Endocytosis of AMPARs and other postsynaptic proteins has been proposed to occur at specific endocytic zones (EZs), but the mechanisms that regulate this process are not at all clear. In this issue of Neuron, Lu et al. show that correct synaptic EZ positioning requires links between the GTPase dynamin-3 and the Homer/Shank complex.
内吞作用、胞吐作用和侧向扩散是AMPA受体转运的关键机制。AMPA受体及其他突触后蛋白的内吞作用被认为发生在特定的内吞区(EZs),但调节这一过程的机制尚不清楚。在本期《神经元》杂志中,卢等人表明,正确的突触EZ定位需要GTP酶发动蛋白3与Homer/Shank复合体之间的联系。
