Stoichiometry of δ subunit containing GABAA receptors
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although the stoichiometry of the major synaptic αβγ subunit-containing GABAA receptors has consensus support for 2α:2β:1γ, a clear view of the stoichiometry of extrasynaptic receptors containing δ subunits has remained elusive. Here we examine the subunit stoichiometry of recombinant α4β3δ receptors using a reporter mutation and a functional electrophysiological approach...
متن کاملEtomidate Impairs Long-Term Potentiation In Vitro by Targeting α5-Subunit Containing GABAA Receptors on Nonpyramidal Cells.
Previous experiments using genetic and pharmacological manipulations have provided strong evidence that etomidate impairs synaptic plasticity and memory by modulating α5-subunit containing GABAA receptors (α5-GABAARs). Because α5-GABAARs mediate tonic inhibition (TI) in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells and etomidate enhances TI, etomidate enhancement of TI in pyramidal cells has been proposed as...
متن کاملDelta-subunit-containing GABAA-receptors mediate tonic inhibition in paracapsular cells of the mouse amygdala
The intercalated paracapsular cells (pcs) are small GABAergic interneurons that form densely populated clusters surrounding the basolateral (BLA) complex of the amygdala. Their main task in the amygdala circuitry appears to be the control of information flow, as they act as an inhibitory interface between input and output nuclei. Modulation of their activity is thus thought to affect amygdala o...
متن کاملEnhanced Neurosteroid Potentiation of Ternary GABAA Receptors Containing the Subunit
Attenuated behavioral sensitivity to neurosteroids has been reported for mice deficient in the GABAA receptor subunit. We therefore investigated potential subunit-specific neurosteroid pharmacology of the following GABAA receptor isoforms in a transient expression system: 1 3 2L, 1 3 , 6 3 2L, and 6 3 . Potentiation of submaximal GABAA receptor currents by the neurosteroid tetrahydrodeoxycortic...
متن کاملd Subunit Inhibits Neurosteroid Modulation of GABAA Receptors
Neurosteroid modulation of GABAA receptors has been observed with all subunit combinations investigated; however, hetero-oligomeric GABAA receptors containing d subunits were not studied previously. We describe the effect of d subunit expression on 3a,21-dihydroxy-5a-pregnan-20-1 (THDOC)induced potentiation of GABA-gated currents in transfected HEK 293 cells and in cerebellar granule cells in v...
