Figure(s):Fig.2, 3, 4, 6
Annotation description:Fig.2: "Knockout of Thorase Increases AMPAR Surface Expression and AMPAR Currents"

Fig.3: "Deficits in Homeostatic Synaptic Scaling and Endocytosis of AMPARs in Thorase KO neurons"

Fig.4: "NMDA-induced AMPAR Internalization is Reduced in an ATPase-Dependent Manner in Thorase KO Neurons"

Fig.6: "Thorase Deficiency Enhances AMPAR Currents and LTP and Impairs LTD Without Affecting Basal Synaptic Transmission at CA1 Hippocampal Synapses"

Discussion: "In contrast, Thorase acts at GluR2-GRIP1 complexes to control the endocytosis and removal of AMPARs from the postsynaptic membrane. The identification of Thorase as a major regulator of AMPAR trafficking offers new opportunities to enhance the understanding and to identify additional regulators of AMPAR turnover."
