| Abstract | A series of studies has shown the importance of AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) for memory formation. The aim of the current study was to show whether GluR1 and GluR2 complexes rather than subunits in mouse hippocampus were involved in training in the multiple T-Maze (MTM). C57BL/6J mice were trained in the MTM and compared to yoked controls. 6 h following the completion of the fourth day training, mice were euthanized, hippocampi were taken and proteins extracted, run on blue native gels with subsequent immunoblotting with antibodies against mouse GluR1 and GluR2. On blue-native western blotting, GluR1 protein was represented by a single band at the apparent molecular weight of about 480 kDa probably indicating a tetrameric assembly. GluR2 protein was represented by a single band between apparent molecular weights of 480 and 720 kDa indicating a homo- or heteropolymer probably with other AMPAR or regulatory subunits. In mice trained in the MTM, protein levels for GluR1 were significantly increased while GluR2 levels were significantly decreased. On two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis, the presence of GluR1 and GluR2 were identified by mass spectrometry, and 2D immunoblotting revealed several expression forms of these receptor subunits. Findings unequivocally show that GluR1 and GluR2 complexes are linked to training in the MTM in C57BL/6J mice. These results may not only form the basis for studying receptor complexes rather than receptor subunits in memory formation or mechanisms of potential cognitive enhancers but represent a tool for investigations into pharmacological studies including the use of glutamate receptor agonists and antagonists. |

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.
