Hetero-oligomerization between GABAA and GABAB receptors regulates GABAB receptor trafficking.
The neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediates inhibitory signaling in the brain via stimulation of both GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)R), which are chloride-permeant ion channels, and GABA(B) receptors (GABA(B)R), which signal through coupling to G proteins. Here we report physical interactions between these two different classes of GABA receptor. Association of the GABA(B) receptor ...
متن کاملGabaa and Gabab Receptors
Since the introduction of the alpha function by Rall in 1967 12], there has been signii-cant progress in our understanding of the molecular events underlying synaptic transmission. Particular receptor types have been identiied and their activation kinetics characterized. It is now possible to develop models of these receptors, using a formalism similar to that introduced by Hodgkin and Huxley 9...
متن کاملGABAB Receptors Regulate Extrasynaptic GABAA Receptors.
Tonic inhibitory GABA(A) receptor-mediated currents are observed in numerous cell types in the CNS, including thalamocortical neurons of the ventrobasal thalamus, dentate gyrus granule cells, and cerebellar granule cells. Here we show that in rat brain slices, activation of postsynaptic GABA(B) receptors enhances the magnitude of the tonic GABA(A) current recorded in these cell types via a path...
متن کاملA Trafficking Checkpoint Controls GABAB Receptor Heterodimerization
Surface expression of GABA(B) receptors requires heterodimerization of GB1 and GB2 subunits, but little is known about mechanisms that ensure efficient heterodimer assembly. We found that expression of the GB1 subunit on the cell surface is prevented through a C-terminal retention motif RXR(R); this sequence is reminiscent of the ER retention/retrieval motif RKR identified in subunits of the AT...
متن کاملGABAB receptors and glucose homeostasis: evaluation in GABAB receptor knockout mice.
GABA has been proposed to inhibit insulin secretion through GABAB receptors (GABABRs) in pancreatic beta-cells. We investigated whether GABABRs participated in the regulation of glucose homeostasis in vivo. The animals used in this study were adult male and female BALB/C mice, mice deficient in the GABAB1 subunit of the GABABR (GABAB(-/-)), and wild types (WT). Blood glucose was measured under ...
