A key step in excitatory synapse maturation is the switch in AMPA receptor subunit composition to GluA2-containing calcium-impermeable receptors. Now, Blanco-Suarez et al. (2018) demonstrate that astrocyte-secreted chordin-like 1 drives this process, enabling synapse maturation and limiting plasticity.
兴奋性突触成熟的一个关键步骤是 AMPA 受体亚基组成的转变,形成包含 GluA2 的钙通透性降低的受体。现在,Blanco-Suarez 等人(2018 年)证明,星形胶质细胞分泌的 Chordin 样蛋白 1 驱动了这一过程,使突触成熟并限制了其可塑性。
