Zn2+ has been shown to have a wide range of modulatory effects on neuronal AMPARs. However, the mechanism of modulation is largely unknown. Here we show that Zn2+ inhibits GluA2(Q) homomeric receptors in an activity- and voltage-dependent manner, indicating a pore block mechanism. The rate of inhibition is slow, in the hundreds of milliseconds at millimolar Zn2+ concentrations; hence, the inhibition is only observed in the residual nondesensitizing currents. Consequently, the inhibition is higher for GluA2 receptors in complex with auxiliary subunits γ2 and γ8 where the residual activation is larger. The extent of inhibition is also dependent on charge at site 607, the site that undergoes RNA editing in GluA2 subunits replacing glutamine to arginine, with the percent inhibition being lower and IC50 being higher for the edited GluA2(R) relative to unedited GluA2(Q) and to GluA2(Q607E), a mutation observed in the genetic screen of a patient exhibiting developmental delays. We also show that Zn2+ inhibition is significant during rapid repetitive activity with pulses of millimolar concentrations of glutamate in both receptors expressed in HEK cells as well as in native receptors in cortical neurons of C57BL/6J mice of either sex, indicating a physiological relevance of this inhibition.
