We first explore the features of GluK2 endocytosis during kainate excitotoxicity and then explore the role of Ca in the regulation of GluK2 endocytosis. The roles of Ca were examined by treating cells with Ca inhibitors or chelators. Surface biotinylation was used to examine the surface localization of GluK2. Immunoprecipitation followed by immunoblotting was used to identify the interaction of GluK2 with the endocytosis regulator protein-interacting with C kinase 1 and dynamin. Dynamin phosphorylation was examined by immunoblotting with the corresponding antibodies. Our results show that GluK2 internalization is blocked by inhibitors of clathrin-independent endocytosis and relies on intracellular Ca/calcineurin signaling. Protein-interacting with C kinase 1-GluK2 interaction is regulated by Ca/calcineurin signaling. Dynamin participates in the regulation of GluK2 surface localization. Also, calcineurin activation is related to dynamin function during kainate excitotoxicity. In conclusion, GluK2 receptor endocytosis is probably a clathrin-independent and dynamin-dependent process regulated by the peak Ca transient. This work indicates the roles of the Ca network in the regulation of GluK2 endocytosis during kainate excitotoxicity.

Kainate receptors (KARs) are key regulators of neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. KAR surface expression is tightly controlled in part by post-translational modifications (PTMs) of the GluK2 subunit. We have shown previously that agonist activation of GluK2-containing KARs leads to phosphorylation of GluK2 at S868, which promotes subsequent SUMOylation at K886 and receptor endocytosis.

It is well established that long-term depression (LTD) can be initiated by either NMDA or mGluR activation. Here we report that sustained activation of GluK2 subunit-containing kainate receptors (KARs) leads to α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) endocytosis and induces LTD of AMPARs (KAR-LTD) in hippocampal neurons. The KAR-evoked loss of surface AMPARs is blocked by the ionotropic KAR inhibitor UBP 310 indicating that KAR-LTD requires KAR channel activity.

Fragile X syndrome is caused by the loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). Kainate receptor (KAR) is a subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR) that acts mainly as a neuromodulator of synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability. However, little is known about the changes of synaptic KAR in the cortical area of Fmr1 KO mice.

Assembly, Secretory Pathway Trafficking, and Surface Delivery of Kainate Receptors Is Regulated by Neuronal Activity.

Ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) trafficking and function underpin excitatory synaptic transmission and plasticity and shape neuronal networks. It is well established that the transcription, translation, and endocytosis/recycling of iGluRs are all regulated by neuronal activity, but much less is known about the activity dependence of iGluR transport through the secretory pathway. Here, we use the kainate receptor subunit GluK2 as a model iGluR cargo to show that the assembly, early secretory pathway trafficking, and surface delivery of iGluRs are all controlled by neuronal activity.
