Identification of a novel protein complex containing ASIC1a and GABAA receptors and their interregulation. [PDF]

open access: goldPLoS ONE, 2014
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) belong to the family of the epithelial sodium channel/degenerin (ENaC/DEG) and are activated by extracellular protons. They are widely distributed within both the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Post-synaptic GABAA receptors potentiate transmission by recruiting CaV2 channels to their inputs [PDF]

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: We describe a retrograde synaptic signal at the C. elegans GABAergic neuromuscular junction. At this synapse, GABA release is controlled by two voltage-activated calcium channels (UNC-2/CaV2 and EGL-19/CaV1), and muscle responses are mediated by

Involvement of GABAA Receptors in the Neuroprotective Effect of Theanine on Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Mice

open access: bronzeJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
We investigated the involvement of γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptors in the neuroprotective effect of γ-glutamylethylamide (theanine), a component of Japanese green tea, following a 4-h middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in mice.

Pharmacological activation of ATF6 remodels the proteostasis network to rescue pathogenic GABAA receptors

open access: yesCell & Bioscience, 2022
Background Genetic variants in the subunits of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors are implicated in the onset of multiple pathologic conditions including genetic epilepsy.

Lack of Neurosteroid Selectivity at δ vs. γ2-Containing GABAA Receptors in Dentate Granule Neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020
GABAA receptors mediate a large fraction of inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Two major classes of GABAA receptors are γ2-containing receptors and δ-containing receptors, which are largely located synaptically and ...

Barbiturates and pyrazolopyridines for the treatment of postpartum depression—repurposing of two drug classes

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Zulresso (brexanolone) is an aqueous formulation of the neurosteroid, allopregnanolone, and the only FDA-approved medication for the treatment of postpartum depression (PPD).

Expression of the eight GABAA receptor α subunits in the developing zebrafish central nervous system. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
GABA is a robust regulator of both developing and mature neural networks. It exerts many of its effects through GABAA receptors, which are heteropentamers assembled from a large array of subunits encoded by distinct genes.

GABAA Receptors in Astrocytes Are Targets for Commonly Used Intravenous and Inhalational General Anesthetic Drugs

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Background: Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) occur commonly in older patients after anesthesia and surgery. Treating astrocytes with general anesthetic drugs stimulates the release of soluble factors that increase the cell-surface expression

Cryo-EM structure of the benzodiazepine-sensitive α1β1γ2S tri-heteromeric GABAA receptor in complex with GABA

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian nervous system is largely mediated by GABAA receptors, chloride-selective members of the superfamily of pentameric Cys-loop receptors.
