Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' ____________________ Saad Hannan September 2011 To Ammu, Abbu, Polu Abstract ivi Abstract Type-B γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABABRs) are important for mediating slow inhibition in the central nervous system and the kinetics of their internalisation and lateral mobility will be a major determinant of their signalling efficacy. Functional GABABRs require R1 and R2 subunit co-assembly, but how heterodimerisation affects the trafficking kinetics of GABABRs is unknown. Here, an α- bungarotoxin binding site (BBS) was inserted into the N-terminus of R2 to monitor receptor mobility in live cells. GABABRs are internalised via clathrin- and dynamin- dependent pathways and recruited to endosomes. By mutating the BBS, a new technique was developed to differentially track R1a and R2 simultaneously, revealing the subunits internalise as heteromers and that R2 dominantly-affects constitutive internalisation of GABABRs. Notably, the internalisation profile of R1aR2 heteromers, but not R1a homomers devoid of their ER retention motif (R1ASA), is similar to R2 homomers in heterologous systems. The internalisation of R1aASA was slowed to that of R2 by mutating a di-leucine motif in the R1 C-terminus, indicating a new role for heterodimerisation, whereby R2 subunits slow the internalization of surface GABABRs.

In his early studies of Aplysia neurons, he characterized excitatory and inhibitory responses to dopamine as well as the mechanism of action of acetylcholine and of acetylcholine antagonists. After the introduction of patch-clamp methods, he moved to the study of glutamate receptors in vertebrate neurons. He is best known for the demonstration that extracellular Mg ions block the channels opened by activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, and for the discovery that the activation of NMDA receptors by glutamate is allosterically modulated by glycine. He currently studies the motoneuron-Renshaw cell synapse that, in newborn mice, combines glutamatergic and cholinergic transmission.

  • Cerebellar Synaptogenesis: What We Can Learn from Mutant Mice
    J. exp. Biol. 153, 225-249 (1990) 225 Printed in Great Britain © The Company of Biologists Limited 1990 CEREBELLAR SYNAPTOGENESIS: WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM MUTANT MICE BY CONSTANTINO SOTELO Laboratoire de Neuromorphologie, INSERM U. 106, Hopital de la Salpetriire, 75013 Paris, France Summary Examination of perturbations in the adult cerebellar connectivity, that follow well-defined lesions produced by gene mutations in the mouse, reveals a few of the numerous and intricate cellular interactions taking place during synaptogenesis. In weaver and in the central ectopia of reeler, Purkinje cells form innumerable dendritic spines, despite the absence of parallel fibers. Only a small proportion of these spines are innervated, and their presynaptic partners are mossy fibers (heterologous synapses) originating from spinal cord, but not from pontine nuclei. Hence, the early phase of membrane recognition is based more on a hierarchical choice between a wide range of graded preferences, than on the complementarity of a narrow range of synaptic affinities. The comparative analysis of weaver, reeler, staggerer and hyperspiny Purkinje cell has allowed us to establish that the late phase of synapse stabilization or elimination, leading to the numerical matching of one climbing fiber per Purkinje cell, is not based on climbing fiber translocation. Conversely, this regression appears to be the result of a process of competition between climbing fibers and parallel fibers. Whatever the mechanisms of the competition are, the results obtained with the mutants suggest that activity of the forming cerebellar circuitry is involved in their regulation. Finally, a new mutation is reported, the nodding mouse, to illustrate the fact that the ultimate morphology of presynaptic boutons results from an interplay between intrinsically regulated factors (features of presynaptic organelles) and the morphogenetic influence of postsynaptic partners.

Abstract A diverse set of GABAA receptors (GABAARs) enable synaptic plasticity adaptations at inhibitory postsynaptic sites in collaboration with the scaffolding protein gephyrin. Early studies helped to identify distinctions between GABAAR subsets allocated within specific functional circuits, but their contribution to the changing dynamics of a microcircuit remains unclear. Here, using the whisker-barrel system we assessed the contribution of specific 2+ GABAAR subtypes to sensory processing in vivo.
