Excitatory glycine responses of CNS myelin mediated by NR1/NR3 "NMDA" receptor subunits.
نویسندگان
چکیده
NMDA receptors are typically excited by a combination of glutamate and glycine. Here we describe excitatory responses in CNS myelin that are gated by a glycine agonist alone and mediated by NR1/NR3 "NMDA" receptor subunits. Response properties include activation by d-serine, inhibition by the glycine-site antagonist CNQX, and insensitivity to the glutamate-site antagonist d-APV. d-Serine responses were abrogated in NR3A-deficient mice. Our results suggest the presence of functional NR1/NR3 receptors in CNS myelin.

Rules of engagement for NMDA receptor subunits.
Canonical NMDA receptors assemble from two glycine-binding NR1 subunits with two glutamate-binding NR2 subunits to form glutamate-gated excitatory receptors that mediate synaptic transmission and plasticity. The role of glycine-binding NR3 subunits is less clear. Whereas in Xenopus laevis oocytes, two NR3 subunits coassemble with two NR1 subunits to form a glycine-gated receptor, such a recepto...

The NR3 subunits (NR3A and NR3B) are new players in a well established field of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, previously involving the NR1 and NR2 subunits. Their incorporation into conventional NMDA receptors forms glutamate-activated NR1/NR2/NR3 triheteromers, whereas the omission of the glutamate-binding NR2 subunits results in excitatory glycine-activated NR1/NR3 diheteromers. Thes...

متن کاملModulation of NMDA receptor properties and synaptic transmission by the NR3A subunit in mouse hippocampal and cerebrocortical neurons.
Expression of the NR3A subunit with NR1/NR2 in Xenopus oocytes or mammalian cell lines leads to a reduction in N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-induced currents and decreased Mg(2+) sensitivity and Ca(2+) permeability compared with NR1/NR2 receptors. Consistent with these findings, neurons from NR3A knockout (KO) mice exhibit enhanced NMDA-induced currents. Recombinant NR3A can also form excitatory ...
متن کاملExpression of glycine-activated diheteromeric NR1/NR3 receptors in human embryonic kidney 293 cells Is NR1 splice variant-dependent.
In oocytes, glycine activates receptors formed by diheteromeric combinations of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) NR1 and NR3 subunits. In contrast, functional receptors in mammalian cells require the simultaneous expression of NR1 and both NR3A and NR3B subunits. In vivo, NR3A and NR3B subunits show differential expression patterns and thus may not naturally form triheteromeric receptors. In this st...
