Association of glutamate metabotropic receptor polymorphisms and sensorineural hearing loss in adults of different age groups [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2019
Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss is a common challenge all over the world, including a section of the young population. While there have been many published reports associating glutamate metabotropic receptor 7 with sensorineural hearing loss ...

Apo-state structure of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 transmembrane domain obtained using a photoswitchable ligand. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) is implicated in various neurodegenerative disorders, making it an attractive drug target. Although several ligand‐bound crystal structures of mGlu5 exist, their apo‐state crystal structure remains unknown.

Therapeutic Targeting of the α7 Nicotinic Receptor: Challenges and Prospects for Cognitive Improvement in Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia [PDF]

Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol
ABSTRACT The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR) has emerged as a key target for treating cognitive dysfunction in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and schizophrenia. α7 nAChRs play essential roles in neurotransmission, neuroinflammation and synaptic plasticity, not only in neurons but also in glial cells, where they ...

Treatment of Cerebral Ischemia Through NMDA Receptors: Metabotropic Signaling and Future Directions

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Excessive activation of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors after cerebral ischemia is a key cause of ischemic injury. For a long time, it was generally accepted that calcium influx is a necessary condition for ischemic injury mediated by NMDA ...

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

Brain gamma rhythm and potential treatment of neurodegenerative disease

Journal of Neurorestoratology, 2020
In this mini-review, we illustrate the brain network oscillations in different brain areas, including the medial septal diagonal band complex (MSDB) and hippocampus, especially at gamma frequency bands (γ, 30–80 Hz) and theta frequency bands (θ, 4–12 Hz),

Allosteric modulators enhance agonist efficacy by increasing the residence time of a GPCR in the active state

Nature Communications, 2021
Here, the authors use smFRET to assess the structural dynamics of metabotropic glutamate receptor mGlu2 and show that a positive allosteric modulator or the Gi protein stabilize mGlu2 in the glutamate-induced active state, leading to the full activation ...

Emotional Impairment and Persistent Upregulation of mGlu5 Receptor following Morphine Abstinence: Implications of an mGlu5-MOPr Interaction. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: A difficult problem in treating opioid addicts is the maintenance of a drug-free state because of the negative emotional symptoms associated with withdrawal, which may trigger relapse.
