Release of ATP and glutamate in the nucleus tractus solitarii mediate pulmonary stretch receptor (Breuer-Hering) reflex pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The Breuer-Hering inflation reflex is initiated by activation of the slowly adapting pulmonary stretch receptor afferents (SARs), which monosynaptically activate second-order relay neurones in the dorsal medullary nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS ...

Insect odorant response sensitivity is tuned by metabotropically autoregulated olfactory receptors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Insects possess one of the most exquisitely sensitive olfactory systems in the animal kingdom, consisting of three different types of chemosensory receptors: ionotropic glutamate-like receptors (IRs), gustatory receptors (GRs) and odorant receptors (ORs).

High-Affinity Kainate Receptor Subunits Are Necessary for Ionotropic but Not Metabotropic Signaling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
SummaryKainate receptors signal through both ionotropic and metabotropic pathways. The high-affinity subunits, GluK4 and GluK5, are unique among the five receptor subunits, as they do not form homomeric receptors but modify the properties of heteromeric ...

Identification and Expression Profile of Olfactory Receptor Genes Based on Apriona germari (Hope) Antennal Transcriptome

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Insects’ olfactory receptor plays a central role in detecting chemosensory information from the environment. Odorant receptors (ORs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs) are two types of olfactory receptors, and they are essential for the recognition of ...

Undifferentiated embryonic stem cells express ionotropic glutamate receptor mRNAs

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) do not only mediate the majority of excitatory neurotransmission in the vertebrate CNS, but also modulate pre- and postnatal neurogenesis.

Identification of functional ionotropic glutamate receptor proteins in pancreatic β-cells and in islets of Langerhans [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The presence of ionotropic glutamate receptor proteins in islets of Langerhans and pancreatic β-cell lines (MIN6, HIT T15, RINm5F) was investigated. For this purpose immunoblot analysis of β-cell membranes was performed with subunit-specific antibodies ...

Tuning Insect Odorant Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Among the insect olfactory receptors the odorant receptors (ORs) evolved in parallel to the onset of insect flight. A special property of this receptor type is the capability to adjust sensitivity of odor detection according to previous odor contacts ...

ATP‐Mediated Bidirectional Communication Between Natural and Artificial Cells for Controlled Bioreactions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Establishment of bidirectional communication behavior between natural and artificial cells. The first type of communication from natural dendritic cells to artificial polymeric cells was achieved via ATP release after cell lysis. The released ATP was taken up via gated UV‐controlled permeability increase of the polymeric membrane for performing ...

Structural Dynamics and Allosteric Signaling in Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate excitatory neurotransmission events in the central nervous system. All distinct classes of iGluRs (AMPA, NMDA, Kainate) are composed of an N-terminal domain (NTD) and a ...
