Excitatory Amino Acids Excitatory amino acid receptors • • • • Transmitter is L-glutamate Formed by GABA-transaminase Inactivated by uptake Receptor classification based on – electrophysiology, binding & cloning • Nomenclature – NMDA, AMPA, kainate, metabotropic AMPA receptors • Overview – – – – ionotropic receptor opens channel permeable to Na+/K+ reversal potential ~ 0mV therefore generates fast EPSP • Pharmacology – Agonist = AMPA – Antagonist = CNQX • Molecular biology – Cloned subunits = GluRA-D – similar to nicotinic receptor subunits H N 2 COOH H2N COOH • Molecular biology – Cloned subunits = GluRA-D – similar to nicotinic receptor subunits – form pentamers? – GluRB bestows AMPA receptor-like properties • Function –nicotinic-like –mediates most fast excitatory transmission NMDA receptors • Overview – – – – ionotropic receptor opens channel permeable to Na+/K+/Ca2+ reversal potential ~ 0mV therefore generates fast(-ish) EPSP • Pharmacology – agonist = NMDA – antagonist = AP5 • Molecular biology – – – – cloned subunits = NR1 & NR2A-D similar to nicotinic receptor sub-units form pentamers? NR1 bestows NMDA receptor-like properties • Modulated by – Mg2+ causes a voltage-dependent channel block L-glutamate Mg2+ +60 mV Na/K/Ca 2pA 20msec 0 mV Na/K/Ca -60 mV Na/K/Ca Mg2+ I-V curve I (pA) 2pA 20msec V (mV) -50 Mg2+ Mg2+-free +50 • Molecular biology – – – – cloned subunits = NR1 & NR2A-D similar to nicotinic receptor sub-units form pentamers? NR1 bestows NMDA receptor-like properties • Modulated by – Mg2+ causes a voltage-dependent channel block – glycine is a cofactor NMDA NMDA + CM CM 100pA 10sec NMDA glycine NMDA NMDA + glycine + glycine + strychnine • Molecular biology – – – – cloned subunits = NR1 & NR2A-D similar to nicotinic receptor sub-units form pentamers? NR1 bestows NMDA receptor-like properties • Modulated by – Mg2+ causes a voltage-dependent channel block – glycine is a cofactor – ketamine/phencyclidine/MK801 block ion channel • Molecular biology – – – – cloned subunits = NR1 & NR2A-D similar to nicotinic receptor sub-units form pentamers? NR1 bestows NMDA receptor-like properties • Modulated by – Mg2+ causes a voltage-dependent channel block – glycine is a cofactor – ketamine/phencyclidine/MK801 block ion channel • Function – Ca2+ “switch” Kainate receptors • Confusion over identification – kainate activates AMPA receptors – part of kainate binding is not displaced by AMPA • Molecular Biology – Cloned subunits = KA1-2 & GluR5-7 – form pentamers? – rapidly desensitising (AMPA insensitive) channel • Function? Metabotropic glutamate receptors • Overview – g-protein coupled • positively linked to PLC • negatively linked to adenylate cyclase • or direct to ion channels • Molecular biology H2N COOH Metabotropic glutamate receptors • Overview – g-protein coupled • positively linked to PLC • negatively linked to adenylate cyclase • or direct to ion channels • Molecular biology – mGluR 1-8 •Group I = mGluR 1&5 linked to PLC •Group II = mGluR 2&3 linked to adenylate cyclase •Group III = mGluR 4&6-8 linked to adenylate cyclase • Pharmacology – most commonly used agonist = (1S,3R) ACPD • is selective for Group I and Group II – most commonly used antagonist = MCPG • non-selective antagonist? • Electrophysiological actions – blocks IAHP – blocks M-current (therefore evokes slow EPSP) – blocks voltage dependent Ca2+ channels • Functions – Neuromodulator - analgous to ACh muscarinic receptors Physiological/pathological roles • Metabotropic glutamate receptors – probably many, including synaptic plasticity • AMPA receptors – mediate most fast EPSPs in the CNS • Kainate receptors – anyones guess • NMDA receptors – – – – – Anaesthesia Learning and memory Developmental plasticity Epilepsy Excitotoxicity (eg stroke) Summary • Classification of EAA receptors • Diversity of actions • Similarities with other neurotransmitter systems • Factors modulating NMDA receptors • Physiological/pathological processes
