Conformational fingerprinting of allosteric modulators in metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 [PDF]

eLife, 2022
Activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is an allosteric process. It involves conformational coupling between the orthosteric ligand binding site and the G protein binding site. Factors that bind at non-cognate ligand binding sites to alter the

Homology modelling of metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 [PDF]

Journal of Cheminformatics, 2011
Many studies show involvement of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in synaptic excitation transudation. The mGluR family consists of eight proteins divided into three groups corresponding to sequence similarities, pharmacology and physiological role. These groups are: I (mGluR1, -5), II (mGluR2, -3) and III (mGluR4, -6, -7, -8).

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 inhibits thalamically-driven glutamate and dopamine release in the dorsal striatum. [PDF]

Neuropharmacology, 2017
The striatum plays critical roles in action control and cognition, and activity of striatal neurons is driven by glutamatergic input. Inhibition of glutamatergic inputs to projection neurons and interneurons of the striatum by presynaptic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) stands to modulate striatal output and striatum-dependent behaviors.

Loss of metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 escalates alcohol consumption. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013
Significance Gene identification for complex behavioral traits, alcoholism in particular, has been largely unsuccessful, in part because of the rarity of many causative variants and the heterogeneity and small effect size of the causal loci. Artificially selected animals may be valuable in gene identification.

Pyk2 uncouples metabotropic glutamate receptor G protein signaling but facilitates ERK1/2 activation [PDF]

Molecular Brain, 2010
Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are coupled via Gαq/11 to the activation of phospholipase Cβ, which hydrolyzes membrane phospholipids to form inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate and diacylglycerol.

Paraneoplastic cerebellar ataxia and antibodies to metabotropic glutamate receptor 2. [PDF]

Neurol Neuroimmunol Neuroinflamm, 2020
To report the presence of a new neuronal surface antibody against the metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 antibody (mGluR2-Ab) in 2 patients with paraneoplastic cerebellar ataxia.mGluR2-Abs were initially characterized by immunohistochemistry on the rat brain and confirmed by immunofluorescence on HEK293 cells transfected with mGluR2.

Psychedelic Targeting of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 2 and Its Implications for the Treatment of Alcoholism [PDF]

Cells, 2023
Alcohol abuse is a leading risk factor for the public health burden worldwide. Approved pharmacotherapies have demonstrated limited effectiveness over the last few decades in treating alcohol use disorders (AUD).

Exploring the activation mechanism of metabotropic glutamate receptor 2. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Homomeric dimerization of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) is essential for the modulation of their functions and represents a promising avenue for the development of novel therapeutic approaches to address central nervous system diseases.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 is a cellular receptor for rabies virus.

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
Rabies virus (RABV) invades the central nervous system and nearly always causes fatal disease in humans. How RABV interacts with host neuron membrane receptors to become internalized and cause rabid symptoms is not yet fully understood.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 is a receptor of SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative pathogen of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)1. SARS-CoV-2 uses angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as a cellular receptor and enters cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME)2-4.
