NMDA receptors (NMDARs) participate in processes ranging from neural development to learning and memory. Disorders of NMDAR signaling are linked to several neurological diseases. Accumulating evidence suggests that the endogenous co-agonist D-serine plays a prominent role in activation of synaptic NMDARs in cortex. However, there are significant gaps in our understanding of the physiological mechanisms involved in D-serine homeostasis in brain and their potential impact on NMDAR signaling. Our preliminary data suggest that SLC1A4, a neutral amino acid transporter paralog within the SLC1 solute carrier family that includes glutamate transporters, unexpectedly mediates transmembrane flux of D-serine. We will test the hypotheses that SLC1A4 is in fact the major route of sodium-dependent D-serine uptake in brain and that selective SLC1A4 inhibitors developed from a hydroxyproline pharmacophore can alter D-serine homeostasis and thereby modulate NMDAR function and synaptic plasticity. We will also characterize the structure and function of a recently identified mutation in the human gene encoding SLC1A4 that is linked to neurodevelopmental and cognitive deficits, and we will create and study a transgenic mouse model of this human disease.

NMDA受体（NMDAR）参与从神经发育到 学习和记忆。 NMDAR信号的疾病与几个神经系统有关 疾病。积累的证据表明，内源性的共同激动剂D-丝氨酸在 在皮质中激活突触NMDAR的重要作用。但是，存在很大的空白 在我们对大脑中D丝氨酸稳态涉及的生理机制的理解中 它们对NMDAR信号传导的潜在影响。我们的初步数据表明SLC1A4，一个 SLC1溶质载体家族中的中性氨基酸转运蛋白旁系同源物包括 谷氨酸转运蛋白，出乎意料地介导D-丝氨酸的跨膜通量。我们将测试 假设SLC1A4实际上是钠依赖性D丝次吸收的主要途径 大脑和从羟基药物团开发的选择性SLC1A4抑制剂可以 改变D-serine稳态，从而调节NMDAR功能和突触可塑性。我们 还将表征人类最近鉴定的突变的结构和功能 编码与神经发育和认知缺陷相关的SLC1A4的基因，我们将 创建和研究这种人类疾病的转基因小鼠模型。
