Outline of Final Research Achievements

Kainate-type ionotropic glutamate receptors (KARs) are highly expressed at synapses between mossy fibers (MFs) and CA3 pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus and important modulators of neural circuit activities. Although diverse KAR roles depend on their subcellular localization, how they are targeted to specific sites is currently unknown. We have demonstarated that the C1q-like proteins C1ql2 and C1ql3, produced by MFs, interact with the amino-terminal domains of postsynaptic GluK2 and GluK4 KAR subunits to determine location and function of KARs. In C1ql2/3-double null mice, CA3 synaptic responses lost the slow, KAR-mediated, components. Furthermore, despite induction of MF sprouting in a temporal lobe epilepsy model, KARs were not recruited to postsynaptic sites in C1ql2/3-double null mice, leading to reduced recurrent circuit activities. C1q-family proteins, broadly expressed, are likely to modulate KAR function throughout the brain.
