متن کاملModifications of gamma-aminobutyric acidA receptor subunit expression in rat neocortex during tolerance to diazepam.
We evaluated whether tolerance to the antagonism of bicuculine-induced seizures by diazepam is associated with changes (i) in the content of mRNAs encoding for gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor subunits, (ii) in the expression density of these subunits, and (iii) in the 1,4-benzodiazepine binding site characteristics in discrete neocortical structures. We found that in diazepam-tolerant...
متن کاملTwo tyrosine residues on the alpha subunit are crucial for benzodiazepine binding and allosteric modulation of gamma-aminobutyric acidA receptors.
Benzodiazepines (BZs) exert their therapeutic effects in the mammalian central nervous system at least in part by modulating the activation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-activated chloride channels. To gain further insight into the mechanism of action of BZs on GABA receptors, we have been investigating structural determinants required for the actions of the BZ diazepam (dzp) on recombinant...
متن کاملIdentification of Benzodiazepine Binding Site Residues in the g2 Subunit of the g-Aminobutyric AcidA Receptor
g-Aminobutyric acidA receptor g-subunits are important for benzodiazepine (BZD) binding and modulation of the g-aminobutyric acid-mediated Cl current. Previously, by using g2/a1 chimeric subunits, we identified two domains of the g2-subunit, Lys-41-Trp-82 and Arg-114-Asp-161, that are, in conjunction, necessary and sufficient for high-affinity BZD binding. In this study, we generated additional...
متن کاملAcute neurosteroid modulation and subunit isolation of the gamma-aminobutyric acidA receptor in the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana.
The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has multiple receptors. In mammals, the GABA(A) receptor subtype is modulated by neurosteroids. However, whether steroid interaction with the GABA(A) receptor is unique to mammals or a conserved feature in vertebrates is unknown. Thus, neurosteroid modulation of the GABA(A) receptor was investigated in the brain of the bullfrog (Ran...
