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 کاملOxytocin prevents ethanol actions at δ subunit-containing GABAA receptors and attenuates ethanol-induced motor impairment in rats.
Even moderate doses of alcohol cause considerable impairment of motor coordination, an effect that substantially involves potentiation of GABAergic activity at δ subunit-containing GABA(A) receptors (δ-GABA(A)Rs). Here, we demonstrate that oxytocin selectively attenuates ethanol-induced motor impairment and ethanol-induced increases in GABAergic activity at δ-GABA(A)Rs and that this effect does...
متن کاملN-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor activation downregulates expression of δ subunit-containing GABAA receptors in cultured hippocampal neurons.
Neurosteroids are endogenous allosteric modulators of GABAA receptors (GABARs), and they enhance GABAR-mediated inhibition. However, GABARs expressed on hippocampal dentate granule neurons of epileptic animals are modified such that their neurosteroid sensitivity is reduced and δ subunit expression is diminished. We explored the molecular mechanisms triggering this GABAR plasticity. In the cult...
متن کاملNon-neuronal, slow GABA signalling in the ventrobasal thalamus targets δ-subunit-containing GABAA receptors
The rodent ventrobasal (VB) thalamus contains a relatively uniform population of thalamocortical (TC) neurons that receive glutamatergic input from the vibrissae and the somatosensory cortex, and inhibitory input from the nucleus reticularis thalami (nRT). In this study we describe γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)(A) receptor-dependent slow outward currents (SOCs) in TC neurons that are distinct from...
