Glycine transporter dimers: evidence for occurrence in the plasma membrane.
Different Na(+)/Cl(-)-dependent neurotransmitter transporters of the SLC6a family have been shown to form dimers or oligomers in both intracellular compartments and at the cell surface. In contrast, the glycine transporters (GlyTs) GlyT1 and -2 have been reported to exist as monomers in the plasma membrane based on hydrodynamic and native gel electrophoretic studies. Here, we used cysteine subs...
متن کاملZn2+ inhibits glycine transport by glycine transporter subtype 1b.
In the central nervous system, glycine is a co-agonist with glutamate at the N-methyl-D-aspartate subtype of glutamate receptors and also an agonist at inhibitory, strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors. The GLYT1 subtypes of glycine transporters (GLYTs) are responsible for regulation of glycine at excitatory synapses, whereas a combination of GLYT1 and GLYT2 subtypes of glycine transporters ar...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in glycine transporter with schizophrenia.
Glycine acts as an obligatory co-agonist with glutamate on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Brain glycine availability is determined by glycine transporters (GlyT1 or SLC6A9), which mediate glycine reuptake into nerve terminals. Since hypofunction of NMDA receptors has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, this study tests the hypothesis that GlyT1 genetic variants conf...
متن کاملGlycine transporter-1 controls nonsynaptic inhibitory actions of glycine receptors in the neonatal rat hippocampus.
Although functional glycinergic synapses have not been identified in the hippocampus, neurons in this area express Cl(-) permeable extrasynaptic glycine receptors (GlyRs). In experiments on CA3 pyramidal neurons on postnatal day 0-6 rat hippocampal slices, we detected robust GlyR activity as a tonic current and as single-channel events. Glycine release was independent of neuronal activity or ex...
متن کاملMolecular basis for proton regulation of glycine transport by glycine transporter subtype 1b.
In the central nervous system, glycine is a coagonist with glutamate at the N-methyl-D-aspartate subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors. The GLYT1b subtype of glycine transporters is expressed in similar regions of the brain as the excitatory N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors and has been postulated to regulate glycine concentrations within excitatory synapses. We have expressed GLYT1b in Xenop...
