Molecular modelling of D2-like dopamine receptors.
Three-dimensional computer models of the rat D2, D3 and D4 dopamine receptor subtypes have been constructed based on the diffraction co-ordinates for bacteriorhodopsin, another membrane-bound protein containing seven transmembrane domains presumed to be arranged in a similar spatial orientation. Models were assembled by aligning the putative transmembrane domains of the dopamine receptors with ...
متن کاملVoltage Sensitivity of Dopamine D2-like Receptors
G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate a multitude of responses serving hormonal, neurotransmitter, and sensory functions. These receptors are important drug targets; in fact, about 27 % of prescribed drugs are GPCR ligands. The dopamine D2 receptor is prominently expressed within the CNS as two distinct isoforms; D2L (long isoform) and D2S (short isoform). The former is mainly expressed p...
متن کاملD2-like Dopamine Receptors Differentially Regulate Unitary IPSCs
26 In the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a medium spiny (MS) neuron receives GABAergic 27 inputs from two major sources: fast spiking (FS) neurons and other, adjacent MS neurons. 28 These two types of inhibitory synapses are considered to play different roles in output 29 activities, i.e. FSMS connections suppress output from the NAc whereas MSMS 30 connections contribute to lateral inhibition. In ...
متن کاملZinc modulates antagonist interactions with D2-like dopamine receptors through distinct molecular mechanisms.
Recently, zinc has been shown to modulate antagonist drug interactions with the D1 dopamine receptor (Schetz and Sibley, 1997) and the dopamine transporter (Norregaard et al., 1998). We now demonstrate that zinc also reversibly and dose-dependently modulates the specific binding of the butyrophenone antagonist [3H]methylspiperone to all D2-like dopamine receptors: D2L, D3, and D4. The molecular...
متن کاملModulatory Effects of Dopamine D2 Receptors on Spreading Depression in Rat Somatosensory Neocortex
Introduction: Spreading depression (SD) is a propagating wave of depolarization followed by depression of the neuroglial activities and can modulate extracellular dopamine concentrations in the neocortex. It has been shown that the dopaminergic system plays a role in migraine. SD has been suggested as a critical phenomenon in the pathophysiology of migraine. The aim of this study was to investi...
