dendritic spine membrane
Definition
Target type: cellularcomponent
The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a dendritic spine. [GOC:mah]
The dendritic spine membrane is a specialized subdomain of the neuronal plasma membrane that forms the postsynaptic compartment of excitatory synapses. It is a highly dynamic and complex structure, enriched in a variety of proteins and lipids that mediate synaptic transmission, plasticity, and signaling.
**Key Components:**
* **Postsynaptic Density (PSD):** A dense protein scaffold located directly beneath the postsynaptic membrane. It is enriched in glutamate receptors (AMPA and NMDA receptors), scaffolding proteins (PSD-95, SAP90/PSD-93, GKAP), and signaling molecules (CaMKII, Src kinases, Ras GTPases). The PSD plays a crucial role in organizing and regulating synaptic function.
* **Glutamate Receptors:** AMPA and NMDA receptors are the primary mediators of excitatory synaptic transmission at dendritic spines. They bind glutamate released from the presynaptic terminal and trigger postsynaptic depolarization.
* **Scaffolding Proteins:** These proteins, such as PSD-95, SAP90/PSD-93, and GKAP, act as molecular organizers, linking glutamate receptors and other signaling molecules within the PSD. They also contribute to the structural integrity of the spine.
* **Signaling Molecules:** A variety of signaling molecules, including kinases (CaMKII, Src kinases), GTPases (Ras, Rho), and phosphatases, are present in dendritic spines. These molecules are involved in signal transduction pathways that regulate synaptic plasticity and gene expression.
* **Lipids:** The dendritic spine membrane is enriched in specific lipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), that play a role in membrane trafficking, signaling, and cytoskeletal organization.
**Dynamic Nature:**
Dendritic spine membranes are highly dynamic structures that undergo significant structural and functional changes in response to neuronal activity. These changes include:
* **Spine Head Growth and Retraction:** Spine heads can grow or shrink in response to synaptic activity, reflecting changes in synaptic strength.
* **Receptor Trafficking:** Glutamate receptors can be inserted into or removed from the spine membrane, influencing synaptic efficacy.
* **Signaling Pathway Activation:** Neuronal activity triggers the activation of signaling pathways that regulate synaptic plasticity, gene expression, and neuronal survival.
**Functional Significance:**
The dendritic spine membrane plays a critical role in neuronal communication, synaptic plasticity, and learning and memory. Its unique composition and dynamic nature allow it to adapt to changing neuronal activity and contribute to the intricate processing of information in the brain.'
