Abstract
The extracellular AMPA receptor N-terminal domain (NTD) affects synaptic strength by tuning receptor diffusion. We reveal that pH fluctuations accompanying synaptic activity alter NTD conformation of the functionally dominant GluA2 subunit, via proton sensing by an NTD histidine residue, thereby increasing gating kinetics and receptor diffusion at the synapse.
