9 Mechanism for (recruitment and) stabilization of synaptic KARs: role of N-Cadherins CTD Δ 14 destabilization of KARs at MF-CA3 synapse Alteration of N-cadherins reduction of KAR-EPSCs 14 last aa interaction N-Cadherin/βcatenin complexes N-Cadherin/β-catenin complexes play a crucial role in stabilization of KARs Fièvre, Carta et al Nature Communications, 2016

10 Mechanisms for recruitment of aberrant postsynaptic KARs? Cadherin 9 labeling

11 What next? a translational approach Fact: >30% of TLE patients are intractable to pharmacological treatments they undergo surgical removal of the temporal lobe. Reduce the expression or activity of pathological KARs at ectopic synapses: a gene therapy approach, develop micrornas to invalidate KARs under the control of a DG specific promoter. develop GluK2/GluK5 antagonists prevent or disrupt the stabilization of ectopic KARs an interacting peptide approach. Disrupt Cadherin/KAR interactions (FFRE/FRC project). Collaboration with Valérie Crépel, INSERM Marseille, Support from AST Aquitaine and INSERM transfer

53 Part I - Interim conclusions Distinct behaviour of AMPARs and KARs: strict subcellular segregation of KARs no extrasynaptic receptors Single cell electroporation necessary for quantitative replacement approach for study of receptor trafficking Synaptic KARs are heteromers containing GluK2 and GluK5 ectopic KARs following overexpression are likely homomers of GluK2. Synaptic KARs are readily rescued in amplitude and decay following GluK2 reexpression at Mf- but not A/C synapses. Data suggest limited amount of synaptic slots for KARs limited amount of GluK5 for heteromer formation strong transcriptional or post-transcriptional regulation of GluK2 What are molecular determinants of this subcellular segregation?
