Annotated paper:Klaassen RV, et al. "Shisa6 traps AMPA receptors at postsynaptic sites and prevents their desensitization during synaptic activity" Nat Commun. 2016 Mar 2;7:10682 PMID:26931375
Figure(s):fig 5, 6
Annotation description:"Figure 5: Shisa6 decreases AMPAR deactivation rate and desensitization rate, enhances the steady-state current and slows recovery from desensitization."

"Figure 6: Shisa6 prolongs synaptic AMPAR currents and reduces synaptic depression."

"We identified Shisa6 as an intrinsic auxiliary subunit of AMPAR complexes in the mammalian brain with unique characteristics compared with the CKAMP44/Shisa9 member of this family (Supplementary Table 3). Physical association of Shisa6 with the pore-forming GluA proteins modulates receptor properties by slowing synaptic AMPAR current activation and desensitization. Shisa6 traps AMPARs at the postsynapse in vivo, slows desensitization kinetics and favours a sustained open state on prolonged activation. Together, these processes reduce short-term synaptic depression."
