Co-expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 and N-type Ca(2+) channels in single cerebrocortical nerve terminals of adult rats.
The modulation of calcium channels by metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) is a key event in the fine-tuning of neurotransmitter release. Here we report that, in cerebrocortical nerve terminals of adult rats, the inhibition of glutamate release is mediated by mGluR7. In this preparation, the major component of glutamate release is supported by P/Q-type Ca2+ channels (72.7%). However, mGluR...
متن کاملMetabotropic glutamate receptors and their ligands applications in neurological and psychiatric disorders
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) consist of a large family of G-protein coupled receptors that are critical for regulating normal neuronal function in the central nervous system. The wide distribution and diverse physiological roles of various mGluR subtypes make them highly attractive targets for the treatment of a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The discovery of ...

متن کاملCa2+-dependent binding of calcium-binding protein 1 to presynaptic group III metabotropic glutamate receptors and blockage by phosphorylation of the receptors.
Presynaptic group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and Ca(2+) channels are the main neuronal activity-dependent regulators of synaptic vesicle release, and they use common molecules in their signaling cascades. Among these, calmodulin (CaM) and the related EF-hand Ca(2+)-binding proteins are of particular importance as sensors of presynaptic Ca(2+), and a multiple of them are indee...
متن کاملA Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Regulates Transmitter Release from Cone Presynaptic Terminals in Carp Retinal Slices
The role of group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in photoreceptor-H1 horizontal cell (HC) synaptic transmission was investigated by analyzing the rate of occurrence and amplitude of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) in H1 HCs uncoupled by dopamine in carp retinal slices. Red light steps or the application of 100 microM cobalt reduced the sEPSC rate without aff...
