AMPA GluA1
Drives insertion of proteins into membrane- LTP
1 of 25
AMPA GluA2/3
mainly involved in internalisation (LTD)
2 of 25
NMDA receptor
activated by AMPA activity- triggers LTD/LTP
3 of 25
Receptor interacting proteins- LTD
PICK1, NSF, AP2, ABP/GRIP- bound by accessory proteins
4 of 25
Receptor interacting proteins- LTP
4.1N, SAP-97, Myo V
5 of 25
Immunofluoresence
GFP transfection- see outline of cell, then stained with antibody shows AMPA as spots
6 of 25
Antibody-feeding assays
measure concentration of receptors on the membrane vs internalised receptors at a fixed time point
7 of 25
pHluorin-tagged receptor subunits
monitor endocytosis/excytosis in real time- using pH-sensitive GFP- high fluorescence at neutral pH- loss at acidic (in lumen)
8 of 25
SEP
= super ecliptic pHluorin
9 of 25
punctate regions
at the surface membrane- higher receptor density- less internalisation
10 of 25
diffuse regions
away from the membrane- lower receptor density- greater internalisation
11 of 25
GRIP
stabilises proteins at the membrane and intracellular locations
12 of 25
PICK-1
binds to promote endocytosis (binds to same region as GRIP)
13 of 25
NSF
binds to GluA2- controls interaction with PICK-1
14 of 25
Co-immunoprecipitation (CO-IP)
show that 2 proteins interact in native tissues (eg PICK-1 and GluA2)
15 of 25
Co-localisation
show that 2 proteins are in the same place in cells
16 of 25
SDS-PAGE
proteins separated by gel according to molecular weight- acts as mesh filter
17 of 25
Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)
ionic detergent- coats protein in negative charge
18 of 25
Western blotting
transfer proteins to nicrocellulose membrane- by electric current
19 of 25
Chemiluminescence
enzyme-tagged-antibody (eg for GluA2)
20 of 25
immunofuorescence colocalisation
2 proteins are tagged with different coloured secondaries- proteins overlap produce different colour
21 of 25
analyse function of an interacting protein
study trafficking or localisation of receptor by imaging/electrophysiology under various conditions; overexpressioon or "knock-down" by RNAi
22 of 25
overexpression
engineered DNA into cells- virus, lipfection, Biolistics (gene-gun- gold bullets)
23 of 25
over expression of PICK-1 and GFP
loss of surface GluA2 in the presence of extra PICK-1/ no change in total GluA2
24 of 25
"knock-down" of interacting protein expression
RNA interference- siRNA/shRNA
