Two Players in the Field: Hierarchical Model of Interaction between the Dopamine and Acetylcholine Signaling Systems in the Striatum

Biomedicines, 2021
Tight interactions exist between dopamine and acetylcholine signaling in the striatum. Dopaminergic neurons express muscarinic and nicotinic receptors, and cholinergic interneurons express dopamine receptors.

Serotonin, how to find it... [PDF]

, 2013
Serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a monoamine neurotransmitter. Biochemically derived from tryptophan, serotonin is primarily found in the gastrointestinal tract, platelets, and in the central nervous system (CNS) of animals, including humans ...

Filamin A organizes γ‑aminobutyric acid type B receptors at the plasma membrane

Nature Communications, 2023
GABAB receptors mediate the effects of the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Here, authors identify the cytoskeletal protein filamin A as a key player that controls the exact location and function of GABAB receptors at the cell surface.

Interactions between the Nicotinic and Endocannabinoid Receptors at the Plasma Membrane

Membranes, 2022
Compartmentalization, together with transbilayer and lateral asymmetries, provide the structural foundation for functional specializations at the cell surface, including the active role of the lipid microenvironment in the modulation of membrane-bound ...

Photo-antagonism of the GABAA receptor [PDF]

, 2014
Neurotransmitter receptor trafficking is fundamentally important for synaptic transmission and neural network activity. GABAA receptors and inhibitory synapses are vital components of brain function, yet much of our knowledge regarding receptor mobility ...

Illumination of a progressive allosteric mechanism mediating the glycine receptor activation

Nature Communications, 2023
Glycine receptors are channel receptors mediating signal transduction between neurons that transit between resting and open states upon neurotransmitter binding.

Identification of a domain which affects kinetics and antagonistic potency of clozapine at 5-HT3 receptors. [PDF]

, 2009
The widely used atypical antipsychotic clozapine is a potent competitive antagonist at 5-HT(3) receptors which may contribute to its unique psychopharmacological profile. Clozapine binds to 5-HT(3) receptors of various species.

Induction of synapse formation by de novo neurotransmitter synthesis

Nature Communications, 2022
Neuronal communication relies on matching different neurostransmitter types with their appropriate receptors. The authors here demonstrate that release of a novel neurotransmitter from presynaptic terminals can induce both the accumulation and activation

Conditional protein tagging methods reveal highly specific subcellular distribution of ion channels in motion-sensing neurons

eLife, 2020
Neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels shape the biophysical properties of neurons, from the sign of the response mediated by neurotransmitter receptors to the dynamics shaped by voltage-gated ion channels.

Mechanism of Allosteric Modulation of the Cys-loop Receptors

Pharmaceuticals, 2010
The cys-loop receptor family is a major family of neurotransmitter-operated ion channels. They play important roles in fast synaptic transmission, controlling neuronal excitability, and brain function.
