Glutamate receptors belonging to the subclass specifically activated by alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) were solubilized from rat forebrain membranes with Triton X-100 and partially purified through a series of three chromatographic steps. Specific [3H]AMPA binding increased 30-60-fold during the isolation procedure. A protein band recognized by antibodies against specific amino acid sequences of the glutamate receptor-A subunit was enriched with each purification step; the molecular mass of this band (105 kDa) corresponded to that of cloned AMPA receptor subunits. Photoaffinity labeling of forebrain membranes with 6-cyano-7-[3H]nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, a specific antagonist of the AMPA receptor, labeled a single band that comigrated with the immunolabeled protein. On reconstitution of the partially purified material into bilayer patches, single-channel current fluctuations were elicited by 300 nM AMPA and blocked by 1 microM 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione.
