Ionotropic Receptors (IRs): Chemosensory ionotropic glutamate receptors in Drosophila and beyond [PDF]

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2013
Ionotropic Receptors (IRs) are a recently characterized family of olfactory receptors in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. IRs are not related to insect Odorant Receptors (ORs), but rather have evolved from ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), a conserved family of synaptic ligand-gated ion channels.

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

PLoS 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).

Ionotropic and metabotropic responses by alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors

Pharmacological Research, 2023
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) belong to a superfamily of cys-loop receptors characterized by the assembly of five subunits into a multi-protein channel complex.

Synaptic Efficacy as a Function of Ionotropic Receptor Distribution: A Computational Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Glutamatergic synapses are the most prevalent functional elements of information processing in the brain. Changes in pre-synaptic activity and in the function of various post-synaptic elements contribute to generate a large variety of synaptic responses.

Predominantly linear summation of metabotropic postsynaptic potentials follows coactivation of neurogliaform interneurons

eLife, 2021
Summation of ionotropic receptor-mediated responses is critical in neuronal computation by shaping input-output characteristics of neurons. However, arithmetics of summation for metabotropic signals are not known. We characterized the combined ionotropic

A C. elegans genome-wide RNAi screen for altered levamisole sensitivity identifies genes required for muscle function

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2021
At the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), postsynaptic ionotropic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) transduce a chemical signal released from a cholinergic motor neuron into an electrical signal to induce muscle contraction.

An Insight into Animal Glutamate Receptors Homolog of Arabidopsis thaliana and Their Potential Applications—A Review

Plants, 2022
Most excitatory impulses received by neurons are mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). These receptors are located at the apex and play an important role in memory, neuronal development, and synaptic plasticity.
