High impact information on Glu-RIB

  • C. elegans glutamate receptor ion pores, at a position homologous to a highly conserved site critical for ion permeation properties in vertebrate glutamate receptor pores, contain amino acids not found in vertebrate glutamate receptors [1].
  • Whole-mount in situ hybridization on embryos revealed DGluR-IB and DNMDAR-II transcripts in the CNS [2].
  • However, the mean open time of extrajunctional glutamate receptor channels was not changed by octopamine [3].
  • By virtue of their multiple protein-binding domains (e.g., three PDZs in PSD-95 and seven PDZs in GRIP), PSD-95 and GRIP can function as multivalent proteins that organize a specific cytoskeletal and signaling complex associated with each class of glutamate receptor [4].
  • No increase of the internal Ca2+ concentration in myotubes was observed when the external solution contained either glutamate at a desensitizing concentration (1 mM) or a glutamate receptor channel blocker, argiotoxin (1 microg/ml) [5].
 

Biological context of Glu-RIB

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Glu-RIB

  • Functional analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans glutamate receptor subunits by domain transplantation [1].
  • Immunofluorescence analysis of the adult fly brain indicates that the DGluR-IB protein is expressed in neurons implicated in the regulation of the circadian clock [2].
  • The inside-out configuration of the patch-clamp technique was used to study the effects of large organic cations on the single-channel current through the glutamate receptor channel in muscles of Drosophila larvae [7].
