g protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels mediate depotentiation of long-term potentiation

Biology
1 answer:
Svetlanka [38]1 year ago
8 0

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is considered a cellular correlate of learning and memory. The presence of G protein-activated inwardly rectifying K(+) (GIRK) channels near excitatory synapses on dendritic spines suggests their possible involvement in synaptic plasticity. However, whether activity-dependent regulation of  channels affects excitatory synaptic plasticity is unknown. In a companion article we have reported activity-dependent regulation of GIRK channel density in cultured hippocampal neurons that requires activity oF receptors (NMDAR) and protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) and takes place within 15 min. In this study, we performed whole-cell recordings of cultured hippocampal neurons and found that NMDAR activation increases basal GIRK current and GIRK channel activation mediated by adenosine A(1) receptors, but not GABA(B) receptors. Given the similar involvement of NMDARs, adenosine  receptors, and PP1 in depotentiation of LTP caused by low-frequency stimulation that immediately follows LTP-inducing high-frequency stimulation, we wondered whether NMDAR-induced increase in GIRK channel surface density and current may contribute to the molecular mechanisms underlying this specific depotentiation. Remarkably, GIRK2 null mutation or GIRK channel blockade abolishes depotentiation of LTP, demonstrating that GIRK channels are critical for depotentiation, one form of excitatory synaptic plasticity.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. <br> How can PCR and gel electrophoresis be used to identify people?
Talja [164]

Answer: answer

Explanation: Using PCR, a DNA sequence can be amplified millions or billions of times, producing enough DNA copies to be analyzed using other techniques. For instance, the DNA may be visualized by gel electrophoresis, sent for sequencing, or digested with restriction enzymes and cloned into a plasmid.

In a force of 5n to the left and 9n to the right act an object what is the net force
vaieri [72.5K]

Hello There!

The Net Force Is 4

First, let's remember that you find the "Net Force" of an object by the direction its going. In this case, they are both pointing in different directions.

Next, we find the "Net Force" by subtracting them and the one with the biggest force, you go in that direction.

Finally, once we subtracted 5 from 9 we get a "Net Force" of 4
