Ca-permeable AMPA-type glutamate receptors (CP-AMPARs) containing GluA1 but lacking GluA2 subunits contribute to multiple forms of synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP), but mechanisms regulating CP-AMPARs are poorly understood. A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) 150 scaffolds kinases and phosphatases to regulate GluA1 phosphorylation and trafficking, and trafficking of AKAP150 itself is modulated by palmitoylation on two Cys residues. Here, we developed a palmitoylation-deficient knockin mouse to show that AKAP150 palmitoylation regulates CP-AMPAR incorporation at hippocampal synapses. Using biochemical, super-resolution imaging, and electrophysiological approaches, we found that palmitoylation promotes AKAP150 localization to recycling endosomes and the postsynaptic density (PSD) to limit CP-AMPAR basal synaptic incorporation. In addition, we found that AKAP150 palmitoylation is required for LTP induced by weaker stimulation that recruits CP-AMPARs to synapses but not stronger stimulation that recruits GluA2-containing AMPARs. Thus, AKAP150 palmitoylation controls its subcellular localization to maintain proper basal and activity-dependent regulation of synaptic AMPAR subunit composition.

Regulation of depressive-like behaviours by palmitoylation: Role of AKAP150 in the basolateral amygdala.
Br J Pharmacol

Department of Pharmacology, School of Pharmacy, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- Protein palmitoylation, specifically involving A-kinase anchoring protein 150 (AKAP150), plays a crucial role in depressive-like behaviors in mice triggered by chronic stress, although the exact mechanisms remain unclear.
- Experimental methods included assessing palmitoylated proteins in the brain and utilizing various genetic and pharmacological approaches to understand the AKAP150 signaling pathway's involvement in these behaviors.
- The study found that chronic stress increased AKAP150 palmitoylation and expression of the protein DHHC2, both of which were linked to depressive-like behaviors, suggesting that targeting this palmitoylation pathway could offer new treatment options for major depressive disorder.
DHHC2 regulates fear memory formation, LTP, and AKAP150 signaling in the hippocampus.

Article Synopsis
- * DHHC2 activity increases in the hippocampus following fear conditioning, and knockdown of DHHC2 disrupts fear-induced memory and long-term potentiation (LTP).
- * The study shows that fear learning enhances the palmitoylation of AKAP150 and highlights the importance of DHHC2 in the interaction between AKAP150 and PSD-95, affecting GluA1 phosphorylation and LTP.
Palmitoylation of A-kinase anchoring protein 79/150 modulates its nanoscale organization, trafficking, and mobility in postsynaptic spines.

A-kinase anchoring protein 79-human/150-rodent (AKAP79/150) organizes signaling proteins to control synaptic plasticity. AKAP79/150 associates with the plasma membrane and endosomes through its N-terminal domain that contains three polybasic regions and two Cys residues that are reversibly palmitoylated. Mutations abolishing palmitoylation (AKAP79/150 CS) reduce its endosomal localization and association with the postsynaptic density (PSD).

Article Synopsis
- AKAP150 is crucial for organizing signaling proteins that regulate AMPA receptors, which are important for synaptic plasticity, particularly in the context of pain processing.
- Increased synaptic expression of AKAP150 and its palmitoylation were observed following inflammation due to CFA injection, affecting AMPA receptor dynamics.
- Targeting AKAP150 and its palmitoylation may offer new treatment strategies for managing chronic pain linked to inflammation.
