Kainate receptors are atypical members of the glutamate receptor family which are able to signal through both ionotropic and metabotropic pathways. Of the five individual kainate receptor subunits the high-affinity subunits, GluK4 (KA1) and GluK5 (KA2), are unique in that they do not form functional homomeric receptors in recombinant expression systems, but combine with the primary subunits GluK1-3 (GluR5-7) to form heteromeric assemblies. Here we generated a GluK4 mutant mouse by disrupting the Grik4 gene locus. We found that loss of the GluK4 subunit leads to a significant reduction in synaptic kainate receptor currents. Moreover, ablation of both high-affinity subunits in GluK4/GluK5 double knockout mice leads to a complete loss of pre- and postsynaptic ionotropic function of synaptic kainate receptors. The principal subunits remain at the synaptic plasma membrane, but are distributed away from postsynaptic densities and presynaptic active zones. There is also an alteration in the properties of the remaining kainate receptors, as kainic acid application fails to elicit responses in GluK4/GluK5 knockout neurons. Despite the lack of detectable ionotropic synaptic receptors, the kainate receptor-mediated inhibition of the slow afterhyperpolarization current (IsAHP), which is dependent on metabotropic pathways, was intact in GluK4/GluK5 knockout mice. These results uncover a previously unknown critical role for the high-affinity kainate receptor subunits as obligatory components of ionotropic kainate receptor function, and further, demonstrate that kainate receptor participation in metabotropic signaling pathways does not require their classic role as ion channels.
