Disease-associated mutations in GluK2 disrupt compartment-specific regulatory mechanisms controlling kainate receptor membrane trafficking.

Nora Alorf, Busra P. Yucel, Kevin A. Wilkinson, Jeremy Martin Henley

This study shows how two disease-associated GluK2 mutations disrupt different aspects of receptor trafficking and signaling in neurons.

Coordinated interplay between palmitoylation, phosphorylation and SUMOylation regulates kainate receptor surface expression.

Busra P. Yucel, Enaam M. Al Momany, Ashley J. Evans, Richard Seager, Kevin A. Wilkinson, Jeremy Martin Henley

This study investigates how palmitoylation, phosphorylation, and SUMOylation of GluK2 regulate kainate receptor surface expression through coordinated PTM interactions.

GluK2 Q/R editing regulates kainate receptor signalling to modulate AMPA receptor synaptic expression and plasticity

Jithin D. Nair, Kevin A. Wilkinson, Busra P. Yucel, Christophe Mulle, Bryce Vissel, Jack R. Mellor, Jeremy Martin Henley

This study shows that GluK2 Q/R editing affects KAR signaling balance, impacting AMPA receptor expression and synaptic plasticity in mice.

Sustained postsynaptic kainate receptor activation downregulates AMPA receptor surface expression and induces hippocampal LTD

Jithin D. Nair, Ellen Braksator, Busra P. Yucel, Alexandra Fletcher-Jones, Richard Seager, Jack R. Mellor, Zafar Iqbal Bashir, Kevin A. Wilkinson, Jeremy Martin Henley

This study shows that sustained kainate receptor activation reduces AMPA receptor surface expression and induces hippocampal long-term depression.
