| Abstract | The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a specialization of the submembranous cytoskeleton that is visible in the electron microscope on the cytoplasmic face of the postsynaptic membrane. A subcellular fraction enriched in structures with the morphology of PSDs contains signal-transduction molecules thought to regulate receptor localization and function in the central nervous system. We have purified a prominent tyrosine-phosphorylated glycoprotein of apparent molecular mass 180 kDa, termed PSD-gp180, that is highly enriched in the rat forebrain PSD fraction. The sequences of four tryptic peptides generated from the protein reveal that it is the 2B subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) type glutamate receptor. We have confirmed the identity of PSD-gp180 by showing that it reacts with antibodies raised against a unique fragment of the 2B subunit of the NMDA receptor. We also show that the 2B subunit is the most prominently tyrosine-phosphorylated protein in the PSD fraction based upon recognition by an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. Two types of NMDA receptor subunits have been identified by molecular cloning [Nakanishi, S. (1992) Science 258, 597-603]. The single type 1 subunit is expressed throughout the brain and is necessary for formation of the receptor channel. The four type 2 subunits (2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D) are expressed in discrete brain regions, contain unusually long unique C termini, and confer distinct kinetic properties on NMDA receptors that contain them. Our findings suggest that, in the forebrain, NMDA receptor subunit 2B may serve to anchor NMDA receptors at the postsynaptic membrane through its interaction with the PSD. The prominent presence of tyrosine phosphate further suggests that the NMDA receptor may be regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation or that it may participate in signaling through tyrosine phosphorylation and through its ion channel. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
