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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

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 ...

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

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

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.

Modulation of neurosteroid potentiation by protein kinases at synaptic- and extrasynaptic-type GABAA receptors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
GABAA receptors are important for inhibition in the CNS where neurosteroids and protein kinases are potent endogenous modulators. Acting individually, these can either enhance or depress receptor function, dependent upon the type of neurosteroid or ...
