Abstract excerpt
Most rapid excitatory synaptic signaling in the brain is mediated by postsynaptic ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) that are gated open by the neurotransmitter glutamate. In Caenorhabditis elegans, sol-1 encodes a CUB-domain transmembrane protein that is required for currents that are mediated by the GLR-1 iGluR. Mutations in sol-1 do not affect GLR-1 expression, localization, membrane insertion, or...
