Soluble oligomeric amyloid-{beta} (A{beta}) is a prime suspect to cause cognitive deficits in Alzheimers disease and weakens synapses by removing AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs). We show that synapses of CA1 pyramidal neurons become vulnerable to A{beta} when they express AMPAR subunit GluA3. We found that A{beta}-oligomers reduce the levels of GluA3 immobilized at spines, indicating they deplete GluA3-containing AMPARs from synapses. These A{beta}-driven effects critically depended on the PDZ-binding motif of GluA3. When GluA3 was expressed with a single amino acid mutation in its PDZ-binding motif that prevents GRIP binding, it did not end up at spines and A{beta} failed to trigger synaptic depression. GluA3 with a different point mutation in the PDZ-motif that leaves GRIP-binding intact but prevents its endocytosis, was present at spines in normal amounts but was fully resistant to effects of A{beta}. Our data indicate that A{beta}-mediated synaptic depression requires the removal of GluA3 from synapses. We propose that GRIP-detachment from GluA3 is a critical early step in the cascade of events through which A{beta} accumulation causes a loss of synapse.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
