Synaptic plasticity has been considered a key mechanism underlying many brain functions including learning, memory, and drug addiction. An increase or decrease in synaptic activity of the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) complex mediates the phenomena as shown in the cellular models of synaptic plasticity, long-term potentiation (LTP), and depression (LTD). In particular, protein phosphorylation shares the spotlight in expressing the synaptic plasticity. This review summarizes the studies on phosphorylation of the AMPAR pore-forming subunits and auxiliary proteins including transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs) and discusses its role in synaptic plasticity.
突触可塑性被认为是许多脑功能(包括学习、记忆和药物成瘾)的关键机制。α-氨基-3-羟基-5-甲基-4-异恶唑丙酸受体(AMPAR)复合物突触活性的增加或减少介导了突触可塑性、长时程增强(LTP)和长时程抑制(LTD)细胞模型中所示的现象。特别是,蛋白质磷酸化在表达突触可塑性方面备受关注。本综述总结了关于AMPAR孔形成亚基和辅助蛋白(包括跨膜AMPA受体调节蛋白(TARPs))磷酸化的研究,并讨论了其在突触可塑性中的作用。
