Multiple Routes for Glutamate Receptor Trafficking: Surface Diffusion and Membrane Traffic Cooperate to Bring Receptors to Synapses [PDF]

Science's STKE (electronic resource) : signal transduction knowledge environment 327 (21/03/2006) 13, 2007
Trafficking of glutamate receptors into and out of synapses is critically involved in the plasticity of excitatory synaptic transmission. Endocytosis and exocytosis of receptors have initially been thought to account alone for this trafficking. However, membrane proteins also traffic through surface lateral diffusion in the plasma membrane. We describe

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important

Blunted Cystine–Glutamate Antiporter Function in the Nucleus Accumbens Promotes Cocaine-induced Drug Seeking [PDF]

, 2008
Repeated cocaine alters glutamate neurotransmission, in part, by reducing cystine–glutamate exchange via system xc−, which maintains glutamate levels and receptor stimulation in the extrasynaptic compartment.

Reduction in Phencyclidine Induced Sensorimotor Gating Deficits in the Rat Following Increased System Xc − Activity in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]

, 2013
Rationale: Aspects of schizophrenia, including deficits in sensorimotor gating, have been linked to glutamate dysfunction and/or oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex. System xc −, a cystine–glutamate antiporter, is a poorly understood mechanism that

Allosterism in the adenosine A2A and cannabinoid CB2 heteromer

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Allosterism is a regulatory mechanism for GPCRs that can be attained by ligand‐binding or protein–protein interactions with another GPCR. We have studied the influence of the dimer interface on the allosteric properties of the A2A receptor and CB2 receptor heteromer.

Genetic inactivation of mGlu5 receptor improves motor coordination in the Grm1crv4 mouse model of SCAR13 ataxia

Neurobiology of Disease, 2018
Deleterious mutations in the glutamate receptor metabotropic 1 gene (GRM1) cause a recessive form of cerebellar ataxia, SCAR13. GRM1 and GRM5 code for the metabotropic glutamate type 1 (mGlu1) and type 5 (mGlu5) receptors, respectively.

Dynamics of cooperativity in chemical sensing among cell-surface receptors [PDF]

, 2011
Cooperative interactions among sensory receptors provide a general mechanism to increase the sensitivity of signal transduction. In particular, bacterial chemotaxis receptors interact cooperatively to produce an ultrasensitive response to chemoeffector concentrations.

The path to the G protein‐coupled receptor structural landscape: Major milestones and future directions

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) play a crucial role in cell function by transducing signals from the extracellular environment to the inside of the cell. They mediate the effects of various stimuli, including hormones, neurotransmitters, ions, photons, food tastants and odorants, and are renowned drug targets.

Participation of the Cholinergic System in Ameliorating Effect of Vasopressin Fragment by Group I Metabotropic Glutamate–Receptor Blockade

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
The effect of [pGlu4,Cyt6,Arg8]-vasopressin fragment 4-9 (AVP4-9) on group I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu1) receptor antagonist–induced memory deficits was studied using 8-arm radial maze performance with 4 arms baited.

Dimerisation of the VIP receptor VIPR2 is essential to its binding VIP and Gαi proteins, and to its functions in breast cancer cells

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Several G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to homodimerise. Dimeric GPCRs may have different properties from their monomers, but the molecular basis and functional significance of GPCR dimerisation remain largely unknown.
