    Description: Repetitive activation of excitatory synapses in the hippocampus produces a persistent enhancement of synaptic efficiency known as long-term potentiation (LTP). In anesthetized and in freely moving rats, the induction of LTP in the perforant path led to a transient increase in the amount of messenger RNA (mRNA) coding for a presynaptic glutamate receptor (GR33) in dentate granule cells. The amount of GR33 mRNA was increased for at least 5 hours after the induction of LTP but was indistinguishable from control values 1 day after induction. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist 2-aminophosphonovalerate prevented the induction of both LTP and the increase in GR33 mRNA. The amount of GR33 protein was increased in the mossy fiber terminal zone of dentate granule cells 5 hours after the induction of LTP. These results suggest that the induction of LTP in synapses at one stage in a neural network may lead to modification in synaptic function at the next stage in the network.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smirnova, T -- Laroche, S -- Errington, M L -- Hicks, A A -- Bliss, T V -- Mallet, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Oct 15;262(5132):433-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire de genetique moleculaire de la neurotransmission et des processus neurodegeneratifs, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Gif-sur-Yvette, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8105538" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Glutamate receptors mediate excitatory neurotransmission in the brain and are important in the formation of memory and in some neurodegenerative disorders. A complementary DNA clone that encoded a 33-kilodalton protein (GR33) was obtained by screening a library with an antibody generated against glutamate binding proteins. The sequence of GR33 is identical to that of the recently reported presynaptic protein syntaxin. When GR33 was expressed in Xenopus oocytes, it formed glutamate-activated ion channels that are pharmacologically similar to those of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors but with different electrophysiological properties. Mutation of the leucine 278 residue in the single putative transmembrane segment of GR33 affects the properties of the channel. Thus, in vivo GR33 may be a presynaptic glutamate receptor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smirnova, T -- Stinnakre, J -- Mallet, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Oct 15;262(5132):430-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratoire de genetique moleculaire de la neurotransmission et des processus neurodegeneratifs, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Gif sur Yvette, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8105537" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
