Annotated paper:Fischer QS, et al. "Requirement for the RIIbeta isoform of PKA, but not calcium-stimulated adenylyl cyclase, in visual cortical plasticity" J Neurosci. 2004 Oct 13;24(41):9049-58 PMID:15483123

Annotation description:The authors use a PKA RII beta knockout mouse to study its role in synaptic plasticity in the visual cortex. It is shown that long term depression (LTD) is abolished in layer V of the visual cortex.

LTD is a postsynaptic process that requires the endocytosis of AMPA receptors (Beattie et al.,Kirkwood and Bear). In the hippocampus, PKA-mediated phosphorylation of GluR1 is required for AMPA trafficking. It has not formally been shown if this is also true in LTD in the visual cortex.

Additional literature:Beattie et.al. demonstrates that LTD requires endocytosis of AMPA receptors. @ PMID:11100150

Man et al. demonstrates that PKA mediated phoshorylation of GluR1 regulates AMPA receptor trafficking. @ PMID:17360685

Kirkwood & Bear demonstrate that LTD at this synapse is blocked by NMDA receptor antagonist AP5. Therefore, LTD is most likely a postsynaptic process at this synapse. @ PMID:8182481
