Ionotropic glutamate receptors: genetics, behavior and electrophysiology.
Most rapid excitatory synaptic signaling is mediated by glutamatergic neurotransmission. An important challenge in neurobiology is to understand the molecular architecture of functional glutamatergic synapses. By combining the techniques of genetics, molecular biology and electrophysiology in C. elegans we have the potential to identify and characterize the molecules that contribute to the func...
متن کاملInteractions of flavonoids with ionotropic GABA receptors.
In this overview, we highlight some recent advances in the interaction of natural and synthetic flavonoids with ionotropic GABA receptors. Examples of positive, negative, and neutralizing allosteric modulators as well as allosteric agonists are given. Flavonoids appear to act via multiple binding sites on GABA receptors. Unraveling these active sites remains a major task.
متن کاملIonotropic GABA receptors: modelling and design of selective ligands
Ionotropic GABAA and GABAC receptors play an important role in the operation of CNS and serve as targets for many neuroactive drugs. Using the homology modelling and molecular dynamics, the 3D models of the receptors were built and some aspects of ligandtarget interactions were elucidated [1,2]. To better understand the structural factors controlling the activity and selectivity of the ligands,...
متن کاملIonotropic GABA Receptors and Distal Retinal ON and OFF Responses
In the vertebrate retina, visual signals are segregated into parallel ON and OFF pathways, which provide information for light increments and decrements. The segregation is first evident at the level of the ON and OFF bipolar cells in distal retina. The activity of large populations of ON and OFF bipolar cells is reflected in the b- and d-waves of the diffuse electroretinogram (ERG). The role o...
متن کاملFlavonoid nutraceuticals and ionotropic receptors for the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA.
Flavonoids that are found in nutraceuticals have many and varied effects on the activation of ionotropic receptors for GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in our brains. They can act as positive or negative modulators enhancing or reducing the effect of GABA. They can act as allosteric agonists. They can act to modulate the action of other modulators. There is considerable evidence that...
