According to the fluid mosaic model, plasma membrane molecules such as lipids and transmembrane proteins have the ability to undergo lateral diffusion freely throughout the cell. In some cell types, however, specific membrane molecules are concentrated in cellular microdomains, by overcoming the randomizing effects of free diffusion. This polarized distribution of membrane molecules is crucial for various cell types including neurons and astrocytes. Thus it is important to understand the mechanism through which the cell regulates the lateral diffusion of membrane molecules. Quantum-dot single particle tracking (QD-SPT), a super-resolution imaging technique using semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots as a fluorescent probe, is a powerful tool to analyze the behavior of proteins and lipids on the plasma membrane. In this talk, we introduce the application QD-SPT to neuroscience. We report here that the lateral diffusion GABAA receptors, which plays important role in inhibitory synaptic transmission, is regulated by intracellular second messenger Ca2+. We also present a set of data indicating that the lateral diffusion barrier against metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) developed in astrocytes contributes to maintain compartmentalized distribution of mGluRs and the localized Ca2+ signal.
