GABAA receptor modulation by terpenoids from Sideritis extracts
SCOPE GABAA receptors are modulated by Sideritis extracts. The aim of this study was to identify single substances from Sideritis extracts responsible for GABAA receptor modulation. METHODS AND RESULTS Single volatile substances identified by GC have been tested in two expression systems, Xenopus oocytes and human embryonic kidney cells. Some of these substances, especially carvacrol, were hi...
متن کاملDevelopmental modulation of GABA(A) receptor function by RNA editing.
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing of RNA transcripts is an increasingly recognized cellular strategy to modulate the function of proteins involved in neuronal excitability. We have characterized the editing of transcripts encoding the alpha3 subunit of heteromeric GABA(A) receptors (Gabra3), in which a genomically encoded isoleucine codon (ATA) is converted to a methionine codon (ATI) in a ...
متن کاملKCTD12 modulation of GABA(B) receptor function
The molecular composition and functional diversity of native GABAB receptors (GABABR) are still poorly understood, thus hindering development of selective GABABR ligands. Potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein (KCTD) 12 is a GABABR auxiliary subunit and mouse KCTD12 can alter GABABR function. In this study, we sought to characterize the effects of human KCTD12 on GABABR kin...
متن کاملBiphasic modulation of GABA release from stellate cells by glutamatergic receptor subtypes.
The release of inhibitory transmitters from CNS neurons can be modulated by ionotropic glutamate receptors that are present in the presynaptic terminals. In the cerebellum, glutamate released from climbing fibers (but not from parallel fibers) activates presynaptic AMPA receptors and suppresses the release of the inhibitory transmitter GABA from basket cells onto postsynaptic Purkinje cells. Th...
متن کاملStructural mechanisms underlying benzodiazepine modulation of the GABA(A) receptor.
Many clinically important drugs target ligand-gated ion channels; however, the mechanisms by which these drugs modulate channel function remain elusive. Benzodiazepines (BZDs), anesthetics, and barbiturates exert their CNS actions by binding to GABA(A) receptors and modulating their function. The structural mechanisms by which BZD binding is transduced to potentiation or inhibition of GABA-indu...
