gamma-Aminobutyric acidB (GABAB) receptor recognition sites that inhibit cyclic AMP formation, open potassium channels, and close calcium channels are coupled to these effector systems by guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins). These G proteins are ADP-ribosylated by islet-activating protein (IAP), also known as pertussis toxin. This process prevents receptor coupling to these G proteins. In slices of cerebral cortex and hippocampus from rat, stimulation of GABAB receptors with baclofen, a receptor agonist, also potentiates the accumulation of cyclic AMP stimulated by beta-adrenergic agonists. It was unknown whether those GABAB receptors that potentiate the beta-adrenergic response were also sensitive to IAP. IAP was injected intracerebroventricularly into rats to ADP-ribosylate IAP-sensitive G proteins. Four days after the IAP injection, 38% and 52% of these G proteins from cerebral cortex and hippocampus, respectively, were ADP-ribosylated by the IAP injection. In slices of both structures prepared from IAP-treated rats, the GABAB receptor-mediated potentiation of the beta-adrenergic receptor response was attenuated. Thus, many GABAB receptor-mediated responses are coupled to IAP-sensitive G proteins. 相似文献

This study shows that low nanomolar concentrations of the calcium channel antagonist nifedipine displaced [3H]baclofen labeling of gamma-aminobutyric acidB (GABAB) receptors, whereas similar concentrations of two calcium channel agonists stimulated this GABAB receptor labeling. Neither effect was likely to be due to dihydropyridine (DHP) binding to baclofen recognition sites, because the inhibitory ligand nifedipine primarily affected apparent receptor density rather than affinity. Although these results could reflect the coupling of GABAB receptors with calcium channels, they do not rule out other, possibly more direct interactions between GABAB receptors and DHP binding sites. These DHP effects occur at much lower concentrations and display other significant differences from previously reported effects of DHPs on other transmitter receptors. 相似文献

Abstract: A γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor (GABAAR) γ2 subunit (short form) was cloned from an adult human cerebral cortex cDNA library in bacteriophage λgt11. The 261-bp intracellular loop (IL) located between M3 and M4 was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and inserted into the expression vectors λgt11 and pGEX-3X. Both γ-galactosidase (LacZ) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins containing the γ2IL were purified, and a rabbit antibody to the LacZ–γ2IL was made. The antibody reacted with the γ2IL of both LacZ and GST fusion proteins and immunoprecipitated the GABAAR/ benzodiazepine receptor (GABAAR/BZDR) from bovine and rat brain. The antibody reacted in affinity-purified GABAAR/BZDR immunoblots with a wide peptide band of 44,000–49,000 Mr. Immunoprecipitation studies with the anti-γ2IL antibody suggest that in the cerebral cortex, 87% of the GABAARs with high affinity for benzodiazepines and 70% of the GABAARs with high affinity for muscimol contain at least a γ subunit, probably a γ2. These results indicate that there are [3H]muscimol binding GABAARs that do not bind [3H]flunitrazepam with high affinity. Immunoprecipitations with this and other anti-GABAAR/BZDR antibodies indicate that the most abundant combination of GABAAR subunits in the cerebral cortex involves α1, γ2 (or other γ), and β2 and/or β3 subunits. These subunits coexist in >60% of the GABAAR/BZDRs in the cerebral cortex. The results also show that a considerable proportion (20–25%) of the cerebellar GABAAR/BZDRs is clonazepam insensitive. At least 74% of these cerebellar receptors, which likely contain α6, also contain γ2 (or other γ) subunit(s). The α1 and β2 or β3 subunits are also frequently associated with γ2 (or other γ) and α6 in these cerebellar receptors. 相似文献

Modulation of the gamma-aminobutyric acidB (GABAB) receptor-mediated response by protein kinase C (PKC) was examined with regard to inhibition by stimulation of the GABAB receptor of stimulation-evoked release of noradrenaline (NA) from slices of cerebellar cortex and of acetylcholine (ACh) from strips of ileum. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) potentiated the high K(+)-evoked Ca2+-dependent release of NA and ACh, but not the ouabain-evoked release, even in the presence of external Ca2+. The potentiating effect was antagonized by sphingosine, thereby suggesting that PKC participates in the exocytotic-vesicular release of neurotransmitters, but does not do so in case of a nonvesicular release. GABA inhibited the high K(+)-evoked release of NA and ACh, but not the ouabain-evoked Ca(2+)-independent release. The effect of GABA was mimicked by baclofen and was antagonized by phaclofen, thereby suggesting that stimulation of the GABAB receptor inhibits the vesicular but not the nonvesicular release of neurotransmitters. TPA suppressed the GABAB receptor-mediated inhibition of high K(+)-evoked release of NA and ACh. The effect of TPA was antagonized by sphingosine. These results indicate that stimulation of the GABAB receptor inhibits the stimulation-evoked Ca(2+)-dependent release of neurotransmitters and that activation of PKC suppresses the GABAB receptor-mediated response. 相似文献

γ-Aminobutyric AcidA Receptor α5 -Subunit Creates Novel Type II Benzodiazepine Receptor Pharmacology 总被引:18,自引:7,他引:11
A cDNA encoding a protein with 70% amino acid identity to the previously characterized gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor alpha-subunits was isolated from a rat brain cDNA library by homology screening. As observed for alpha 1-, alpha 2-, and alpha 3-subunits, coexpression of this new alpha-subunit (alpha 5) with a beta- and gamma 2-subunit in cultured cells produces receptors displaying high-affinity binding sites for both muscimol, a GABA agonist, and benzodiazepines. Characteristic of GABAA/benzodiazepine type II sites, receptors containing alpha 2-, alpha 3- or alpha 5-subunits have low affinities for several type I-selective compounds. However, alpha 5-subunit-containing receptors have lower affinities for zolpidem (30-fold) and Cl 218 872 (three-fold) than measured previously using recombinantly expressed type II receptors containing either alpha 2- or alpha 3-subunits. Based on these findings, a reclassification of the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptors is warranted. 相似文献

γ-Aminobutyric AcidB Receptor Activation Modifies Agonist Binding to β-Adrenergic Receptors in Rat Brain Cerebral Cortex 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The interaction of isoproterenol with beta-adrenergic receptor (beta AR) binding sites was measured in membranes prepared from rat brain cerebral cortical slices previously incubated in the presence or absence of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor agonists. Both GABA and baclofen, but not isoguvacine, altered beta AR agonist binding by increasing the affinity of both the low- and high-affinity binding sites and by increasing the proportion of low-affinity receptors. The response to baclofen was stereoselective, and the effect of GABA was not inhibited by bicuculline. The results suggest that GABAB, but not GABAA, receptor activation modifies the coupling between beta AR and stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein, which may in part explain the ability of baclofen to augment isoproterenol-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in brain slices. 相似文献

Characterization with Antibodies of the γ-Aminobutyric AcidA /Benzodiazepine Receptor Complex During Development of the Rat Brain 总被引:5,自引:5,他引:0

The postnatal development of the gamma-aminobutyric acidA/benzodiazepine receptor (GABAR/BZDR) complex of the rat brain has been investigated using the monoclonal antibody 62-3G1 and the polyclonal rabbit antiserum A, specific for the 57,000 and 51,000 Mr receptor subunits, respectively. Both GABAR and BZDR binding activities co-precipitated during all postnatal ages. Adult rats showed a main 51,000 Mr[3H]flunitrazepam photoaffinity-labeled peptide, whereas newborn rats showed several photolabeled peptides of higher Mr. All the photolabeled peptides could be immunoprecipitated with each antibody regardless of the age of the rats. These results suggest that the physical coupling between the GABAR and the BZDR is already present in newborn animals and it is maintained afterwards during development. Glycosidase and peptidase treatments of the immunoprecipitated GABAR/BZDR complex indicated that all the [3H]flunitrazepam-photolabeled subunits are different peptides, although they seem to conserve a high degree of homology. In addition to the age-dependent heterogeneity, the results also suggest that for each age, there is heterogeneity in the subunit composition of the GABAR/BZDR complex. 相似文献

Purification of the γ-Aminobutyric AcidA /Benzodiazepine Receptor Complex by Immunoaffinity Chromatography 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

The bovine gamma-aminobutyric acidA/benzodiazepine receptor complex has been purified by a novel immunoaffinity chromatography method on immobilized monoclonal antibody 62-3G1. Immunopurification of the complex was achieved in a single step with an improved yield over affinity chromatography on the benzodiazepine Ro 7-1986/1. High-resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of the immunoaffinity-purified receptor revealed three major peptide bands of 51,000, 55,000, and 57,000 Mr which were also present in the Ro 7-1986/1 affinity-purified receptor. Peptide mapping, immunoblotting with subunit specific antibodies, and photoaffinity labeling with [3H]flunitrazepam and [3H]muscimol have been used for the identification of receptor subunits, including several which comigrated in a single band in SDS-PAGE. 相似文献

Antibodies raised against the synthetic peptide NH2-QKSDDDYEDYASNKTC-COOH (gamma 2 1-15 Cys), which corresponds to the N-terminal amino acid sequence with a C-terminal cysteine of the human gamma 2 subunit of the gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor, were used to study the quantitative immunoprecipitation of agonist benzodiazepine binding sites from bovine brain. Anti-gamma 2 1-15 Cys antibodies were found to immunoprecipitate specifically in parallel [3H]flunitrazepam- and [3H]muscimol-reversible binding sites in a dose-dependent manner. The maximum percentages of [3H]flunitrazepam binding sites immunoprecipitated from detergent extracts of bovine cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus were 68, 77, and 83%, respectively. Immunoprecipitation studies with anti-alpha 1 324-341 antibodies carried out in parallel with anti-gamma 2 1-15 Cys antibodies provided evidence for the promiscuity of the gamma 2 subunit within native GABAA receptors. These results substantiate the association of the gamma 2 polypeptide with native GABAA receptors. 相似文献

Abstract: Polyclonal antibodies were raised to synthetic peptides having amino acid sequences corresponding with the N- or C-terminal part of the γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA ) receptor α5 -subunit. These anti-peptide α5 (2–10) or anti-peptide α5 (427–433) antibodies reacted specifically with GABAA receptors purified from the brains of 5–10-day-old rats in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and were able to dose-dependently immunoprecipitate up to 6.3 or 13.1% of the GABAA receptors present in the incubation, respectively. In immunoblots, each of these antibodies reacted with the same two protein bands with apparent molecular mass of 53 or 57 kDa. After exhaustive treatment of purified GABAA receptors with N -Glycanase, each of these antibodies identified two proteins with apparent molecular masses of 46 and 48 kDa. Additional treatment of GABAA receptors with neuraminidase and O -Glycanase resulted in an apparently single protein with molecular mass of 47 kDa, which again was identified by both the anti-peptide α5 (2–10) and the anti-peptide α5 (427–433) antibody. These results indicate the existence of at least two different α5 -sub-units of the GABAA receptor that differ in their carbohydrate content. In contrast to other α- or β-subunits of GABAA receptors so far investigated, at least one of these two α5 -subunits contains O-linked carbohydrates. 相似文献

Abstract: Some data on the concentration range of response and the concentration for half-response (EC50 ) of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) for the GABAA receptor are reviewed and compared. An analysis of the 36 CI− flux assay demonstrates that both the EC50 and the slope of a Hill plot depend on the ion influx or efflux assay time. The effects of depletion of the 36 CI− concentration gradient during the assay and of receptor desensitization on the result for a range of assay times are considered. The EC50 can be decreased by orders of magnitude by increasing the assay time. The EC50 measured in a finite time is less than the half-response concentration for the response(s) of the receptor. The extent of this difference depends on the receptor concentration per internal volume. The maximal decrease of EC50 depends on the rate of receptor desensitization. The computer simulations showed that a GABAA receptor with a half-response concentration of 100 μ M GABA can give 36 CI− flux measurements with an EC50 value 100-fold lower. 相似文献

Generation of Two Forms of the γ-Aminobutyric AcidA Receptor γ-2 -Subunit in Mice by Alternative Splicing 总被引:5,自引:5,他引:0

gamma-Aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptors are multisubunit ligand-gated ion channels which mediate neuronal inhibition by GABA and are composed of at least four subunit types (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). The gamma 2-subunit appears to be essential for benzodiazepine modulation of GABAA receptor function. In cloning murine gamma 2-subunits, we isolated cDNAs encoding forms of the subunit that differ by the insertion of eight amino acids. LLRMFSFK, in the major intracellular loop between proposed transmembrane domains M3 and M4. The two forms of the gamma 2-subunit are generated by alternative splicing, as demonstrated by cloning and partial sequencing of the corresponding gene. The eight-amino-acid insertion encodes a potential consensus serine phosphorylation site for protein kinase C. These results suggest a novel mechanism for the regulation of the GABAA receptor by protein phosphorylation. 相似文献

Genomic clones from the Rdl locus of Drosophila, whose mutant phenotype is resistant to cyclodiene insecticides and picrotoxin, were characterized by restriction mapping and partial sequencing to determine intron/exon structure. The coding region of the gene comprises nine identified exons and spans greater than 25 kb of genomic DNA. The structure of the Drosophila Rdl receptor subunit was compared with those of vertebrate gamma-aminobutyric acid subtype A (GABAA) receptors and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The first six introns in Rdl show positions similar to those in vertebrate GABAA receptors, whereas the last two differ. It is interesting that the last intron appears to be in a position similar to that in nAChRs. These results are examined in relation to the proposal, based on amino acid identities, that Rdl codes for a novel class of GABAA receptor subunit more closely related to glycine receptors, and the possible place of Rdl in the lineage of the receptor superfamily is discussed. 相似文献

Immunological Identification of Multiple α-Like Subunits of the γ-Aminobutyric AcidA Receptor Complex Purified from Neonatal Rat Cortex 总被引:6,自引:6,他引:0
Antibodies were prepared against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid sequences 174-203 of the bovine gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor alpha 1-subunit. The antibodies recognized this synthetic alpha 1-peptide, but failed to react with the homologous peptide sequence, 170-199, of the bovine beta 1-subunit. On Western blots, anti-alpha 1-subunit antibody recognized a 50-kilodalton (kDa) protein in affinity-purified receptor preparations from adult rat cortex and cerebellum. In receptor purified from neonatal cortex, the anti-alpha 1-antibody reacted with 50-kDa, 53-54-kDa, and 59-kDa proteins. After digestion with endoglycosidase F, these three protein bands retained differing electrophoretic mobilities. The 50-kDa and 59-kDa subunits of affinity-purified neonatal receptor, which were photoaffinity-labeled with [3H]flunitrazepam, were immunoprecipitated to different extents by alpha-subunit antibody. These data suggest the existence in GABAA receptor from neonatal cortex of three proteins (50 kDa, 53 kDa, and 59 kDa) which have immunological homology to alpha 1-subunit of bovine GABAA receptor. The presence of an alpha- and a beta-like subunit with similar mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis may account for the relatively high concentration of protein in the 53-54-kDa band which has been observed in receptor purified from neonatal cortex. The presence of multiple alpha-like subunits may be related to the presence of a relatively high concentration of type II GABA receptor in this tissue. 相似文献

Benzodiazepine Enhancement of γ-Aminobutyric Acid-Mediated Chloride Ion Flux in Rat Brain Synaptoneurosomes 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Benzodiazepine agonists such as Ro 11-6896 [B10(+)], diazepam, clonazepam, and flurazepam were found to enhance muscimol-stimulated 36Cl- uptake into rat cerebral cortical synaptoneurosomes. The rank order of potentiation was B10(+) greater than diazepam greater than clonazepam greater than flurazepam. These benzodiazepines had no effect on 36Cl-uptake in the absence of muscimol. Further, the inactive enantiomer, Ro 11-6893 [B10(-)], and the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor ligand Ro 5-4864 did not potentiate muscimol-stimulated 36Cl- uptake at concentrations up to 10 microM. In contrast, the benzodiazepine receptor inverse agonists ethyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate and 6,7-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-beta- carboline-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester inhibited muscimol stimulated 36Cl- uptake. Benzodiazepines and beta-carbolines altered the apparent K0.5 of muscimol-stimulated 36Cl- uptake, without affecting the Vmax. The effects of both benzodiazepine receptor agonists and inverse agonists were reversed by the benzodiazepine antagonists Ro 15-1788 and CGS-8216. These data further confirm that central benzodiazepine receptors modulate the capacity of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor agonists to enhance chloride transport and provide a biochemical technique for studying benzodiazepine receptor function in vitro. 相似文献

Equilibrium binding interactions at the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and benzodiazepine recognition sites on the GABAA receptor-Cl- ionophore complex were studied using a vesicular synaptoneurosome (microsacs) preparation of rat brain in a physiological HEPES buffer similar to that applied successfully in recent GABAergic 36Cl- flux measurements. NO 328, a GABA reuptake inhibitor, was included in the binding assays to prevent the uptake of [3H]muscimol. Under these conditions, the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) values for [3H]muscimol and [3H]diazepam bindings are 1.9 microM and 40 nM, respectively. Binding affinities for these and other GABA and benzodiazepine agonists and antagonists correlate well with the known physiological doses required to elicit functional activity. This new in vitro binding protocol coupled with 36Cl- flux studies should prove to be of value in reassessing the pharmacology of the GABAA receptor complex in a more physiological environment. 相似文献

Biochemical Characterization of an Isolated and Functionally Reconstituted γ-Aminobutyric Acid/Benzodiazepine Receptor 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
We have solubilized, affinity-purified, and functionally reconstituted the gamma-aminobutyric acid/benzodiazepine (GABA/BDZ) receptor from rat brain into natural brain lipid liposomes. The detergent, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio] 1-propanesulphonate, was employed for the isolation of the receptor in the presence of a whole rat brain lipid extract supplemented with cholesteryl hemisuccinate. The soluble and reconstituted protein showed a homogeneous [3H]flunitrazepam binding population and the allosteric modulation of this binding site by GABA, by the pyrazolopyridine, cartazolate, and by the depressant barbiturate, pentobarbital. The purified GABA/BDZ receptor when incorporated into liposomes has been visualized by electron microscopy and reveals rosette structures, 8-9 nm in diameter, which appear to have a central pore. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the reconstituted GABA/BDZ receptor reveals three major protein bands of 41, 52-56, and 59-62 kDa, the latter two of which appears as doublets. Functional receptor reconstitution is demonstrated by the measurement of GABA-stimulated 36Cl- flux into the purified GABA/BDZ receptor incorporated liposomes and its modulation by the BDZs, barbiturates, and pyrazolopyridines. 相似文献

Molecular Size of the γ-Aminobutyric AcidA Receptor Purified from Mammalian Cerebral Cortex 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The hydrodynamic behaviour of both the soluble and purified gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor of bovine or rat cerebral cortex has been investigated in solution in Triton X-100 or in 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulphonate (CHAPS). In all the hydrodynamic separations made, it was found that the binding activities for GABA, benzodiazepine, and (where detectable) t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate comigrated. Conditions were established for gel exclusion chromatography and for sucrose density gradient velocity sedimentation that maintain the GABAA receptor in a nonaggregated form. Using these conditions, the molecular weight of the bovine GABAA receptor in the above-mentioned detergents was calculated using the H2O/2H2O method. A value of Mr 230,000-240,000 was calculated for the bovine pure GABAA receptor purified in sodium deoxycholate/Triton X-100 media. A value of Mr 284,000-290,000 was calculated for the nonaggregated bovine or rat cortex receptor in CHAPS, but the Stokes radius is smaller in the latter than in the former medium and the detergent binding in CHAPS is underestimated. Thus the deduced Mr, 240,000, is the best estimate by this method. 相似文献

Polyclonal antibodies have been raised against synthetic peptides whose sequences correspond to the N-terminal 15 amino acids and the C-terminal 17 amino acids of the bovine gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor alpha 1 subunit. These antibodies were shown to react with the denatured GABAA receptor alpha subunit, Mr 53,000, in Western blots with both purified receptor and brain membranes as antigens. Also, both antibodies recognised both the purified and detergent-solubilised GABAA receptor as demonstrated by dose-dependent specific immunoprecipitation of the GABA and benzodiazepine binding sites from solution. Evidence is also presented to show brain-regional distribution of the expression of the alpha 1 subunit. 相似文献
