The Structures of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors [PDF]

open access: possible, 2008
Interest in the structures of the metabotropic glutamate receptors continues to increase for a variety of reasons, including the fact that they are now established drug targets and are linked to a wide spectrum of physiologic processes both within and outside the central nervous system.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Neuronal Toxicity

1992
Specific glutamate receptors coupled to polyphosphoinositide (PPI) hydrolysis have been described in brain slices, cultured neurons, and astrocytes, and in amphibian oocytes injected with rat brain mRNA (Sladeczek et al., 1985; Nicoletti et al., 1986a,b; Sugiyama et al., 1987).

The metabotropic glutamate receptors of the vestibular organs

Hearing Research, 1998
This research sought to test the presence and function of metabotropic excitatory amino acid receptors (mGluR) in the frog semicircular canal (SCC). The mGluR agonist +/- 1-aminocyclopentane-trans-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD) produced an increase in afferent firing rates of the ampullar nerve of the intact posterior canal.

Effects of bromohomoibotenate on metabotropic glutamate receptors

NeuroReport, 1994
(S)-Bromohomoibotenic acid [(S)-BrHIbo] stereoselectively antagonized glutamate-stimulated phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells expressing mGluR1a in a competitive manner with an IC50 of 250 microM. However, (S)-BrHIbo did not inhibit (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid [(1S,3R)-ACPD]-induced PI hydrolysis ...

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors: Gatekeepers of Homeostasis

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2010
The capacity to appropriately respond to physiological challenges or perturbations in homeostasis is a requisite for survival. It is becoming increasingly clear that long‐lasting alterations in synaptic efficacy are a fundamental mechanism for modifying neuroendocrine and autonomic output. We review recent advances in our understanding of plasticity at

The metabotropic glutamate receptors: Structure and functions

Neuropharmacology, 1995
Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. For many years it has been considered to act only on ligand-gated receptor channels--termed NMDA, AMPA and kainate receptors--involved in the fast excitatory synaptic transmission. Recently, glutamate has been shown to regulate ion channels and enzymes producing second messengers via ...

Modulation of Excitation by Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors

2007
Metabotropic glutamate receptors, in contrast to ionotropic glutamate receptors, do not form ion channels but instead affect intracellular chemical messenger systems. They couple via GTP-binding proteins ("G-proteins") to a variety of effectors such as ion channels and thus give glutamate, the major excitatory transmitter in the CNS, the ability to ...

PHARMACOLOGY AND FUNCTIONS OF METABOTROPIC GLUTAMATE RECEPTORS

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1997
▪ Abstract  In the mid to late 1980s, studies were published that provided the first evidence for the existence of glutamate receptors that are not ligand-gated cation channels but are coupled to effector systems through GTP-binding proteins. Since those initial reports, tremendous progress has been made in characterizing these metabotropic glutamate ...

Get receptive to metabotropic glutamate receptors

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1995
Glutamate activates not only ionotropic glutamate receptors, but also G-protein-coupled receptors, called metabotropic glutamate receptors. Recent studies have revealed that these metabotropic receptors share distinctive structural properties and that they form a subgroup within the heptahelical receptor family.

Coordinate regulation of metabotropic glutamate receptors

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2001
Recent studies aimed at identifying the mechanisms that regulate the signaling of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have revealed that both protein kinase and protein phosphatase activity are important in directly modulating mGluR function. The inter-relationship between phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of mGluRs seems to be an important ...
