Figures

CP-AMPAR kinetics are differentially affected by AMPAR-TARP stoichiometry.

(A) Traces evoked at −60 mV by rapid application of 10 mM glutamate to outside-out patches from cells expressing GluA1 alone (black; average of 39 responses) or together with 2 (blue; average of 37 …

Recovery from desensitization of CP-AMPARs is enhanced in a graded manner with increased γ2.

(A) Representative traces of a two-pulse protocol with increasing time interval between pulses for CP-AMPAR without γ2 TARP (GluA1 homomers; black), with 2 γ2 TARPs (blue) and with 4 γ2 TARPs (red). …

CP-AMPAR polyamine block attenuation is dependent on TARP dosage.

(A) Representative glutamate-evoked currents from outside-out patches at different membrane potentials from −80 to +80 in 20 mV increments from cells expressing CP-AMPARs, GluA1 (black), …

Four TARPs are required to increase CP-AMPAR channel conductance.

(A) Typical responses at a holding potential of −60 mV to rapid application of 10 mM glutamate to excised patches from cells expressing homomeric GluA1 alone (black; average of 84 responses) or …

Short and long isoforms of GluA4 show the same electrophysiological behaviour.

(A) Pooled data showing single channel conductance from GluA4 (light grey) and GluA4c (dark grey) homotetramers. Box-and-whiskers plots represent percentiles, median and average as stated in Figure …

Single channel conductance of CI-AMPARs is modulated differently by TARPs depending on their location within the complex.

(A) Evoked currents by rapid application of 10 mM glutamate from membrane patches at +60 mV (upward traces) and −60 mV (downward traces) with their corresponding RI. The experimental conditions are …

CI-AMPAR kinetics differ upon γ2 attachment to GluA4c or GluA2 subunit.

(A) Representative traces of currents at −60 mV from cells expressing CI-AMPARs without or with TARP γ2 linked to GluA subunits. Under the traces a scheme of the subunits forming the receptors with …

The block of the non-competitive antagonist perampanel varies with AMPAR-TARP stoichiometry.

(A). Representative whole-cell recording showing the protocol used to determine the percentage of perampanel block. This trace corresponds to a cell expressing GluA2 and GluA4c. Cells were clamped …

Effect of C549L and C550L AMPAR mutations in AMPAR-TARP modulation.

(A–B) Pooled data showing C550L mutation effect in GluA4c homotetramers in decreasing the weighted time constant of desensitization (τw, des) and single channel conductance. (C–D) C549L and C550L …
