Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2025Title: Memantine inhibits calcium-permeable AMPA receptors.

NMDARs enable calcium influx into neurons and are critical for normal brain function. However, increasing evidence shows that calcium influx in neurological diseases is augmented by calcium-permeable AMPA-subtype ionotropic glutamate receptors (AMPARs). Here, we demonstrate that these calcium-permeable AMPARs (CP-AMPARs) are inhibited by memantine. Electrophysiology unveils that memantine inhibition of CP-AMPARs is dependent on their calcium permeability and the presence of their neuronal auxiliary subunit transmembrane AMPAR regulatory proteins (TARPs). Through cryo-electron microscopy we elucidate that memantine blocks CP-AMPAR ion channels in a unique mechanism of action from NMDARs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that memantine inhibits a gain of function AMPAR mutation found in a patient with a neurodevelopmental disorder. Our findings unlock potential exploitation of this site to design more specific drugs targeting CP-AMPARs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
