Method for identification of condition-associated public antigen receptor sequences [PDF]
eLife 2018;7:e33050, 2017 Diverse repertoires of hypervariable immunoglobulin receptors (TCR and BCR) recognize antigens in the adaptive immune system. The development of immunoglobulin receptor repertoire sequencing methods makes it possible to perform repertoire-wide disease association studies of antigen receptor sequences.

Regulation of Neuromodulator Receptor Efficacy - Implications for Whole-Neuron and Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]
Progress in Neurobiology 72(6), pp 399-415, April 2004, 2004 Membrane receptors for neuromodulators (NM) are highly regulated in their distribution and efficacy - a phenomenon which influences the individual cell's response to central signals of NM release. Even though NM receptor regulation is implicated in the pharmacological action of many drugs, and is also known to be influenced by various environmental ...

Hippocampal neuronal cells that accumulate α-synuclein fragments are more vulnerable to Aβ oligomer toxicity via mGluR5--implications for dementia with Lewy bodies. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundIn dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) abnormal interactions between α-synuclein (α-syn) and beta amyloid (Aβ) result in selective degeneration of neurons in the neocortex, limbic system and striatum.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors: Phosphorylation and receptor signaling
Journal of Neuroscience Research, 2007 AbstractMetabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) play important roles in neurotransmission, neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and neurological disorders. Recent studies have revealed a sophisticated interplay between mGluRs and protein kinases: activation of mGluRs regulates the activity of a number of kinases, and direct phosphorylation of ...

Cortical Excitability Before and After Long‐Term Perampanel Treatment for Epilepsy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Antiseizure medications (ASMs), which may influence cortical excitability, are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps evaluate cortical excitability. We assessed changes in TMS responses using serial TMS measurements in people treated with an adjunctive noncompetitive AMPA‐receptor ...

Operant sensation seeking requires metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Pharmacological and genetic studies have suggested that the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is critically involved in mediating the reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse, but not food. The purpose of this study was to use mGluR5 knockout (KO),

GABA\u3csub\u3eB\u3c/sub\u3e Receptor Attenuation of GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e Currents in Neurons of the Mammalian Central Nervous System [PDF]
, 2017 Ionotropic receptors are tightly regulated by second messenger systems and are often present along with their metabotropic counterparts on a neuron\u27s plasma membrane. This leads to the hypothesis that the two receptor subtypes can interact, and indeed

A Spike of Electrodiffusion Reaches Metabotropic Receptors [PDF]
Neuron, 2013 Flow of current in the synaptic cleft can influence diffusion of charged transmitters, such as glutamate. In this issue of Neuron, Sylantyev et al. (2013) demonstrate how this can modulate synaptic NMDA receptor-mediated responses via a surprising mechanism-perisynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptors.
