The interaction of PDZ domain-containing proteins with the C termini of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazolepropionate (AMPA) receptors has been suggested to be important in the regulation of receptor targeting to excitatory synapses. Recent studies have shown that the rapid internalization of AMPA receptors at synapses may mediate, at least in part, the expression of long-term
depression
(LTD). We have previously shown that phosphorylation of Ser-880 on the AMPA receptor GluR2 subunit differentially regulated the interaction of GluR2 with the PDZ domain-containing proteins GRIP1 and
PICK1
. Here, we show that induction of LTD in hippocampal slices increases phosphorylation of Ser-880 within the GluR2 C-terminal PDZ ligand, suggesting that the modulation of GluR2 interaction with GRIP1 and
PICK1
may regulate AMPA receptor internalization during LTD. Moreover, postsynaptic intracellular perfusion of GluR2 C-terminal peptides that disrupt GluR2 interaction with
PICK1
inhibit the expression of hippocampal LTD. These results suggest that the interaction of GluR2 with
PICK1
may play a regulatory role in the expression of LTD in the hippocampus.

The cytoplasmic C termini of AMPA receptor subunits contain PDZ (postsynaptic density 95/Discs large/zona occludens 1) ligand domains that can control their synaptic trafficking during plasticity. The glutamate receptor subunit 2 (GluR2) PDZ ligand domain can be phosphorylated at serine 880 (S880), and this disrupts interactions with GRIP/ABP (glutamate receptor-interacting protein/AMPA-binding protein) but not with
PICK1
(PKC-interacting protein 1). Here, the impact of GluR2 S880 phosphorylation on synaptic transmission and plasticity was explored by expressing, in hippocampal slice cultures, GluR2 subunits containing point mutations that mimic or prevent phosphorylation at this residue. Our results indicate that mimicking GluR2 S880 phosphorylation excludes these receptors from synapses, depresses transmission, and partially occludes long-term
depression
(LTD). Conversely, mutations that prevent phosphorylation reduce LTD. Disruption of the interaction between GluR2 and GRIP/ABP by S880 phosphorylation may thus facilitate removal of synaptic AMPA receptors and mediate some forms of activity-dependent synaptic
depression
.

Cerebellar long-term
depression
(LTD) is a persistent attenuation of synaptic transmission at the parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapse mediated by the removal of GluR2 subunit-containing alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors. The removal of AMPA receptors requires protein kinase C phosphorylation of the GluR2 subunit within its carboxyl-terminal PSD-95/Discs Large/Zona Occludens-1 (PDZ) ligand and binding of the PDZ domain-containing protein,
PICK1
. The sequence of the GluR2 subunit is similar to that of the GluR3 and GluR4c subunits, which also contain PDZ ligands and protein kinase C consensus sites. Although GluR3 and GluR4c are also expressed in Purkinje cells, we have previously shown that cerebellar LTD is absent in GluR2(-/-) mice, suggesting that these subunits are unable to substitute functionally for GluR2. Here, we examine the apparent difference in the regulation of these AMPA receptor subunits by attempting to rescue LTD in GluR2(-/-) Purkinje cells with WT and mutant GluR2 and GluR3 subunits. Our results show that the selective interaction of the GluR2 subunit with the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor protein is required for synaptic, but not extrasynaptic, incorporation of AMPA receptors as well as for their competence to undergo LTD. In addition, perfusion of a synthetic peptide that acutely disrupts the interaction of GluR2 with N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor selectively depletes GluR2-containing receptors from synapses and occludes LTD. These findings demonstrate that interaction of AMPA receptors with N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor plays a critical role in incorporation of AMPA receptors into synapses and for their subsequent removal during cerebellar LTD.

Kainate receptors (KARs) have been shown to be involved in hippocampal mossy fiber long-term potentiation (LTP); however, it is not known if KARs are involved in the induction or expression of long-term
depression
(LTD), the other major form of long-term synaptic plasticity. Here we describe LTD of KAR-mediated synaptic transmission (EPSC(KA) LTD) in perirhinal cortex layer II/III neurons that is distinct from LTD of AMPAR-mediated transmission, which also coexists at the same synapses. Induction of EPSC(KA) LTD requires a rise in postsynaptic Ca(2+) but is independent of NMDARs or T-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels; however, it requires synaptic activation of inwardly rectifying KARs and release of Ca(2+) from stores. The synaptic KARs are regulated by tonically activated mGluR5, and expression of EPSC(KA) LTD occurs via a mechanism involving mGluR5, PKC, and
PICK1
PDZ domain interactions. Thus, we describe the induction and expression mechanism of a form of synaptic plasticity, EPSC(KA) LTD.

The targeting and surface expression of membrane proteins are critical to their functions. In neurons, synaptic targeting and surface expression of AMPA-type glutamate receptors were found to be critical for synaptic plasticity such as long-term potentiation and long-term
depression
(LTD).
PICK1
(
protein interacting with C kinase 1
) is a cytosolic protein that interacts with many membrane proteins, including AMPA receptors via its PDZ (postsynaptic density-95/Discs large/zona occludens-1) domain. Its interactions with membrane proteins regulate their subcellular targeting and surface expression. However, the mechanism by which
PICK1
regulates protein trafficking has not been fully elucidated. Here, we show that
PICK1
directly binds to lipids, mainly phosphoinositides, via its BAR (Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs) domain. Lipid binding of the
PICK1
BAR domain is positively regulated by its PDZ domain and negatively regulated by its C-terminal acidic domain. Mutation of critical residues of the
PICK1
BAR domain eliminates its lipid-binding capability. Lipid binding of
PICK1
controls the subcellular localization of the protein, because BAR domain mutant of
PICK1
has diminished synaptic targeting compared with wild-type
PICK1
. In addition, the BAR domain mutant of
PICK1
does not cluster AMPA receptors. Moreover, wild-type
PICK1
enhances synaptic targeting of AMPA receptors, whereas the BAR domain mutant of
PICK1
fails to do so. The BAR domain mutant of
PICK1
loses its ability to regulate surface expression of the AMPA receptors and impairs expression of LTD in hippocampal neurons. Together, our findings indicate that the lipid binding of the
PICK1
BAR domain is important for its synaptic targeting, AMPA receptor trafficking, and synaptic plasticity.

Cerebellar long-term
depression
(LTD) is a major form of synaptic plasticity that is thought to be critical for certain types of motor learning. Phosphorylation of the AMPA receptor subunit GluR2 on serine-880 as well as interaction of GluR2 with
PICK1
have been suggested to contribute to the endocytic removal of postsynaptic AMPA receptors during LTD. Here, we show that targeted mutation of
PICK1
, the GluR2 C-terminal PDZ ligand, or the GluR2 PKC phosphorylation site eliminates cerebellar LTD in mice. LTD can be rescued in cerebellar cultures from mice lacking
PICK1
by transfection of wild-type
PICK1
but not by a PDZ mutant or a BAR domain mutant deficient in lipid binding, indicating the importance of these domains in
PICK1
function. These results demonstrate that
PICK1
-GluR2 PDZ-based interactions and GluR2 phosphorylation are required for LTD expression in the cerebellum.

The glutamate receptor delta2 subunit (GluRdelta2) is selectively expressed in cerebellar Purkinje neurons (PNs) and is involved in the long-term
depression
(LTD). However, little is known about the mechanism of its action. Acute expression of the wild-type GluRdelta2 in the GluRdelta2-deficient PN rescued the induction of LTD, suggesting the direct role of GluRdelta2 in LTD. To identify the critical region of GluRdelta2 necessary for LTD, we constructed and expressed various mutant GluRdelta2 proteins in the GluRdelta2-deficient PNs. The mutant GluRdelta2 possessing the membrane-proximal 21 aa residues in the C-terminal cytoplasmic region rescued the induction of LTD, whereas the mutant with membrane-proximal 13 aa failed. In addition, overexpression of 865 approximately 871 aa of GluRdelta2 (corresponding to membrane-proximal 14-20 aa) fused to EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) suppressed LTD in a wild-type PN. These results suggest that 865 approximately 871 aa of GluRdelta2 play an essential role in LTD. We next identified
protein interacting with C kinase 1
(
PICK1
) as a molecule interacting with the membrane-proximal C-terminal region of GluRdelta2 by yeast two-hybrid screening.
PICK1
plays an essential role in LTD. It colocalized with GluRdelta2 at spines of PNs, and immunoprecipitation assays showed that GluRdelta2 bound to
PICK1
mainly through 865-871 aa. These results indicate that 865-871 aa of GluRdelta2 are essential for both LTD and interaction with
PICK1
, and suggest that interaction between GluRdelta2 and
PICK1
might be critical for the induction of LTD.

Filamentous actin binding protein neurabin I (NrbI) targets protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) to specific postsynaptic microdomains, exerting critical control over AMPA receptor (AMPAR)-mediated synaptic transmission. NrbI-targeted synaptic PP1, which promotes synaptic
depression
upon long-term
depression
(LTD) stimuli, serves to prevent synaptic
depression
under basal conditions. The present studies investigate this opposite regulation of AMPAR trafficking during basal synaptic transmission and LTD by expressing NrbI or NrbI mutant, which is defective in PP1 binding, in hippocampal slice or neuron cultures. We find that expression of the NrbI mutant to interfere with PP1 targeting dramatically reduces basal synaptic transmission, which is correlated with the reduction in surface expression of AMPA subtype glutamate receptor (GluR) 1 and GluR2 subunits. Biochemical analysis demonstrates that the NrbI mutant selectively increases the phosphorylation of GluR2 at C-terminal consensus PKC site, serine 880, which is known to favor GluR2 interaction with PDZ (postsynaptic density 95/Discs large/zona occludens 1) protein
PICK1
(protein interacting with C kinase-1). Inhibition of PKC activity or GluR2-
PICK1
interaction completely reverses the synaptic
depression
in neurons expressing the NrbI mutant, suggesting that NrbI-targeted synaptic PP1 stabilizes the basal transmission by negatively controlling PKC phosphorylation of GluR2 and the subsequent
PICK1
-mediated decrease in GluR2-containing AMPAR surface expression. Distinct from basal transmission, blocking GluR2-
PICK1
interaction or PKC activity produces minimal effects on LTD in NrbI-expressing neurons. Instead, NrbI-targeted PP1 facilitates LTD by dephosphorylating GluR1 at both serine 845 and serine 831, with GluR2 serine 880 phosphorylation unaltered. Our studies thus elucidate that NrbI-targeted PP1, in response to distinct synaptic activities, regulates the synaptic trafficking of specific AMPAR subunits.

Many central excitatory synapses undergo developmental alterations in the molecular and biophysical characteristics of postsynaptic ionotropic glutamate receptors via changes in subunit composition. Concerning AMPA receptors (AMPARs), glutamate receptor 2 subunit (GluR2)-containing, Ca2+-impermeable AMPARs (CI-AMPARs) prevail at synapses between mature principal neurons; however, accumulating evidence indicates that GluR2-lacking, Ca2+-permeable AMPARs (CP-AMPARs) contribute at these synapses early in development. Here, we used a combination of imaging and electrophysiological recording techniques to investigate potential roles for CP-AMPARs at developing hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal cell (MF-PYR) synapses. We found that transmission at nascent MF-PYR synapses is mediated by a mixed population of CP- and CI-AMPARs as evidenced by polyamine-dependent inwardly rectifying current-voltage (I-V) relationships, and partial philanthotoxin sensitivity of synaptic events. CP-AMPAR expression at MF-PYR synapses is transient, being limited to the first 3 postnatal weeks. Moreover, the expression of CP-AMPARs is regulated by the PDZ (postsynaptic density-95/Discs large/zona occludens-1) domain-containing
protein interacting with C kinase 1
(
PICK1
), because MF-PYR synapses in young
PICK1
knock-out mice are philanthotoxin insensitive with linear I-V relationships. Strikingly, MF-PYR transmission via CP-AMPARs is selectively depressed during depolarization-induced long-term
depression
(DiLTD), a postsynaptic form of MF-PYR plasticity observed only at young MF-PYR synapses. The selective
depression
of CP-AMPARs during DiLTD was evident as a loss of postsynaptic CP-AMPAR-mediated Ca2+ transients in PYR spines and reduced rectification of MF-PYR synaptic currents. Preferential targeting of CP-AMPARs during DiLTD is further supported by a lack of DiLTD in young
PICK1
knock-out mice. Together, these findings indicate that the transient participation of CP-AMPARs at young MF-PYR synapses dictates the developmental window to observe DiLTD.

PICK1
is a calcium-sensing, PDZ domain-containing protein that interacts with GluR2 and GluR3 AMPA receptor (AMPAR) subunits and regulates their trafficking. Although
PICK1
has been principally implicated in long-term
depression
(LTD),
PICK1
overexpression in CA1 pyramidal neurons causes a CaMK- and PKC-dependent potentiation of AMPAR-mediated transmission and an increase in synaptic GluR2-lacking AMPARs, mechanisms associated with NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP). Here, we directly tested whether
PICK1
participates in both hippocampal NMDAR-dependent LTP and LTD. We show that the
PICK1
potentiation of AMPAR-mediated transmission is NMDAR dependent and fully occludes LTP. Conversely, blockade of
PICK1
PDZ interactions or lack of
PICK1
prevents LTP. These observations demonstrate an important role for
PICK1
in LTP. In addition, deletion of
PICK1
or blockade of
PICK1
PDZ binding prevented NMDAR-dependent LTD. Thus,
PICK1
plays a critical role in bidirectional NMDAR-dependent long-term synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus.
