Abstract

Enigmatic orphan glutamate delta receptors (GluD) are one of the four classes of the ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) that play key roles in synaptic transmission and plasticity. While members of other iGluR families viz AMPA, NMDA, and kainate receptors are gated by glutamate, the GluD receptors neither bind glutamate nor evoke ligand-induced currents upon binding of glycine and D-serine. Thus, the GluD receptors were considered to function as structural proteins that facilitate the formation, maturation, and maintenance of synapses in the hippocampus and cerebellum. Recent work has revealed that GluD receptors have extensive crosstalk with metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) and are also gated by their activation. The latest development of a novel optopharamcological tool and the cryoEM structures of GluD receptors would help define the molecular and chemical basis of the GluD receptor's role in synaptic physiology.
