title: Synaptic transmission: two players team up for a new tune.
abstract: An unexpected link has been found between two molecules that were thought to perform seemingly unrelated functions. The AMPA-subclass glutamate receptor GluR2 interacts with the membrane-fusion protein NSF in a manner that appears important for receptor-mediated intracellular signalling.
