Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.

Identification of transthyretin as a novel interacting partner for the δ subunit of GABAA receptors.
PLoS ONE, 2019 GABAA receptors (GABAA-Rs) play critical roles in brain development and synchronization of neural network activity. While synaptic GABAA-Rs can exert rapid inhibition, the extrasynaptic GABAA-Rs can tonically inhibit neuronal activity due to constant ...

GABAA receptor subtypes and benzodiazepine use, misuse, and abuse
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023 Benzodiazepines have been in use for over half a century. While they remain highly prescribed, their unfavorable side-effect profile and abuse liability motivated a search for alternatives.

Functional domains of GABAA receptors
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1995 The transmitter-gated ion channels mediate rapid synaptic transmission, for example, at the neuromuscular junction using acetylcholine and in the CNS using primarily the amino acids glutamate and GABA. GABAA-receptor Cl- channels share sequence homology with a superfamily of these channels including nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and inhibitory ...

Increased accuracy of ligand sensing by receptor diffusion on cell surface [PDF]
Physical Review E 82, 041902 (2010), 2010 The physical limit with which a cell senses external ligand concentration corresponds to the perfect absorber, where all ligand particles are absorbed and overcounting of same ligand particles does not occur. Here we analyze how the lateral diffusion of receptors on the cell membrane affects the accuracy of sensing ligand concentration.

A Molecularly Defined Medullary Network for Control of Respiratory Homeostasis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The dynamic interplay between central respiratory chemoreceptors and the respiratory central pattern generator is essential for maintaining stable respiratory rhythm and patterns, particularly during sleep. This study offers novel insights into the anatomical, molecular, and functional characteristics of a medullary network involving the nucleus ...

Cerebral Cortex, 2015 Cortical pyramidal neuron activity is regulated in part through inhibitory inputs mediated by GABAA receptors. The subunit composition of these receptors confers distinct functional properties. Thus, developmental shifts in subunit expression will likely

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Overview of the regulation of intrinsic and extrinsic signals during neurodevelopment. Intrinsic genetic signals from NSCs, in conjunction with cues from microglia and blood vessels, collaboratively regulate the proliferation of NSCs, their fate determination, synaptogenesis, synaptic pruning, neuronal survival, and death, as well as communication ...

Physiological Reports, 2019 The synaptic α1β2γ2 GABAA receptor is activated phasically by presynaptically released GABA. The receptor is considered to be inactive between synaptic events when exposed to ambient GABA because of its low resting affinity to the transmitter.

Expression and purification of a functional heteromeric GABAA receptor for structural studies.
PLoS ONE, 2018 The GABA-gated chloride channels of the Cys-loop receptor family, known as GABAA receptors, function as the primary gatekeepers of fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system.
