    Description: Recently, GBR1, a seven-transmembrane domain protein with high affinity for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)B receptor antagonists, was identified. Here, a GBR1-related protein, GBR2, was shown to be coexpressed with GBR1 in many brain regions and to interact with it through a short domain in the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic tail. Heterologously expressed GBR2 mediated inhibition of adenylyl cyclase; however, inwardly rectifying potassium channels were activated by GABAB receptor agonists only upon coexpression with GBR1 and GBR2. Thus, the interaction of these receptors appears to be crucial for important physiological effects of GABA and provides a mechanism in receptor signaling pathways that involve a heterotrimeric GTP-binding protein.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kuner, R -- Kohr, G -- Grunewald, S -- Eisenhardt, G -- Bach, A -- Kornau, H C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jan 1;283(5398):74-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉BASF-LYNX Bioscience AG, Department of Neuroscience, Im Neuenheimer Feld 515, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9872744" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) governs cell growth and proliferation by mediating the mitogen- and nutrient-dependent signal transduction that regulates messenger RNA translation. We identified phosphatidic acid (PA) as a critical component of mTOR signaling. In our study, mitogenic stimulation of mammalian cells led to a phospholipase D-dependent accumulation of cellular PA, which was required for activation of mTOR downstream effectors. PA directly interacted with the domain in mTOR that is targeted by rapamycin, and this interaction was positively correlated with mTOR's ability to activate downstream effectors. The involvement of PA in mTOR signaling reveals an important function of this lipid in signal transduction and protein synthesis, as well as a direct link between mTOR and mitogens. Furthermore, these studies suggest a potential mechanism for the in vivo actions of the immunosuppressant rapamycin.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fang, Y -- Vilella-Bach, M -- Bachmann, R -- Flanigan, A -- Chen, J -- GM58064/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2001 Nov 30;294(5548):1942-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell and Structural Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 601 South Goodwin Avenue, B107, Urbana, IL 61801, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11729323" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The subunit stoichiometry of several ligand-gated ion channel receptors is still unknown. A counting method was developed to determine the number of subunits in one family of brain glutamate receptors. Successful application of this method in an HEK cell line provides evidence that ionotropic glutamate receptors share a tetrameric structure with the voltage-gated potassium channels. The average conductance of these channels depends on how many subunits are occupied by an agonist.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rosenmund, C -- Stern-Bach, Y -- Stevens, C F -- NS 12961/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Jun 5;280(5369):1596-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Workgroup Cellular Neurobiology, Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Gottingen, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9616121" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: CKAMP44, identified here by a proteomic approach, is a brain-specific type I transmembrane protein that associates with AMPA receptors in synaptic spines. CKAMP44 expressed in Xenopus oocytes reduced GluA1- and A2-mediated steady-state currents, but did not affect kainate- or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated currents. Mouse hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons expressed CKAMP44 at low abundance, and overexpression of CKAMP44 led to stronger and faster AMPA receptor desensitization, slower recovery from desensitization, and a reduction in the paired-pulse ratio of AMPA currents. By contrast, dentate gyrus granule cells exhibited strong CKAMP44 expression, and CKAMP44 knockout increased the paired-pulse ratio of AMPA currents in lateral and medial perforant path-granule cell synapses. CKAMP44 thus modulates short-term plasticity at specific excitatory synapses.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉von Engelhardt, Jakob -- Mack, Volker -- Sprengel, Rolf -- Kavenstock, Netta -- Li, Ka Wan -- Stern-Bach, Yael -- Smit, August B -- Seeburg, Peter H -- Monyer, Hannah -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Mar 19;327(5972):1518-22. doi: 10.1126/science.1184178.

    Description: Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) responsiveness in certain cells depends on the state of cellular differentiation or activation. Here an in vitro developmental system was used to show that IFN-gamma produced during generation of the CD4+ T helper cell type 1 (TH1) subset extinguishes expression of the IFN-gamma receptor beta subunit, resulting in TH1 cells that are unresponsive to IFN-gamma. This beta chain loss also occurred in IFN-gamma-treated TH2 cells and thus represents a specific response of CD4+ T cells to IFN-gamma rather than a TH1-specific differentiation event. These results define a mechanism of cellular desensitization where a cytokine down-regulates expression of a receptor subunit required primarily for signaling and not ligand binding.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bach, E A -- Szabo, S J -- Dighe, A S -- Ashkenazi, A -- Aguet, M -- Murphy, K M -- Schreiber, R D -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Nov 17;270(5239):1215-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7502050" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) receptor channels mediate the fast component of excitatory postsynaptic currents in the central nervous system. Site-selective nuclear RNA editing controls the calcium permeability of these channels, and RNA editing at a second site is shown here to affect the kinetic aspects of these channels in rat brain. In three of the four AMPA receptor subunits (GluR-B, -C, and -D), intronic elements determine a codon switch (AGA, arginine, to GGA, glycine) in the primary transcripts in a position termed the R/G site, which immediately precedes the alternatively spliced modules "flip" and "flop." The extent of editing at this site progresses with brain development in a manner specific for subunit and splice form, and edited channels possess faster recovery rates from desensitization.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Lomeli, H -- Mosbacher, J -- Melcher, T -- Hoger, T -- Geiger, J R -- Kuner, T -- Monyer, H -- Higuchi, M -- Bach, A -- Seeburg, P H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Dec 9;266(5191):1709-13.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Molecular Neuroendocrinology, University of Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7992055" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
