to Receptors and Channels (GRAC), 5th editionbph_1649 1..2 Abstract The Fifth Edition of the ‘Guide to Receptors and Channels’ is a compilation of the major pharmacological targets divided into seven sections: G protein-coupled receptors, ligand-gated ion channels, ion channels, catalytic receptors, nuclear receptors, transporters and enzymes. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside suggestions for further reading. Available alongside this publication is a portal at http://www.GuideToPharmacology.org which is produced in close association with NC-IUPHAR and allows free online access to the information presented in the Fifth Edition. Introduction The great proliferation of drug targets in recent years has driven the need to provide a logically-organised synopsis of the nomenclature and pharmacology of these targets. This is the underlying reason for this ‘Guide to Receptors and Channels’, distributed with the British Journal of Pharmacology, and produced in association with NC-IUPHAR, the Nomenclature Committees of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. Thanks to a closer collaboration between the British Pharmacological Society and NC-IUPHAR, a free online portal containing the information presented in the Guide to Receptors and Channels has been established at http://www.GuideToPharmacology.org. The new portal gathers in one place the previously separate information on drug targets of GRAC and IUPHAR-DB, the database produced by NC-IUPHAR. Over time, these will steadily be integrated and the portal will be developed as a one-stop-shop for information on drug targets and other information of assistance to pharmacology and drug development in both academia and industry. The free online portal has been created by the IUPHAR Database Team (Joanna Sharman, Chido Mpamhanga, Adam Pawson, Helen Benson, Vincent Bombail and Tony Harmar) in the Centre for Cardiovascular Science, University of Edinburgh. Our intent is to produce an authoritative but user-friendly publication, which allows a rapid overview of the key properties of a wide range of established or potential pharmacological targets. The aim is to provide information succinctly, so that a newcomer to a particular target group can identify the main elements ‘at a glance’. It is not our goal to produce all-inclusive reviews of the targets presented; references to these are included in the Further Reading sections of the entries or, for many targets, the website of NC-IUPHAR (http://www.iuphar-db.org) provides extensive information. The ‘Guide to Receptors and Channels’ presents each entry, typically a circumscribed target class family on, wherever possible, a single page, so as to allow easy access and rapid oversight. Targets have been selected for inclusion where there is sufficient pharmacological information to allow clear definition or where, in our view, there is clear interest in this molecular class from the pharmacological community. Our philosophy has been to present data

    Determining the Role of Gabaergic Signaling in The

    DETERMINING THE ROLE OF GABAERGIC SIGNALING IN THE CRANIOFACIAL DEVELOPMENT OF LARVAL ZEBRAFISH by LINDSEY L. BEEBE (Under the Direction of James D. Lauderdale) ABSTRACT Although best known as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, intriguing evidence has implicated GABA as a key signaling molecule in craniofacial development in mammals. Glutamate is converted to GABA by an enzyme called glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which exists in two isoforms, GAD67 and GAD65. The GAD1 and GAD2 genes encode these isoforms, respectively. A decrease in GAD activity in the human brain is often associated with epilepsy, schizophrenia and related neurological disorders. In mice and humans, mutations in gad1, but not gad2, result in defects in palate development, and mutations in the Gabrb3 gene, which encodes the β3 subunit of the GABAA receptor, exhibit a comparable phenotype to gad1 mutations. These results suggest that GABA signaling, through the GABAA receptor, can play an important and conserved role in craniofacial development. However, the mechanism of this process is not known and cannot be easily investigated in a mammalian system. In this work, translation-blocking morpholinos against the GAD genes were used to alter expression within the larval zebrafish. While gad2 morphants looked phenotypically normal, gad1 morphant animals exhibited altered cranial structures at 1 and 7 dpf. Yet, both gad1 and gad2 morphants exhibited spontaneous seizure-like neural activity. Through the use of photoactivatable caged-morpholinos, the craniofacial deformities could be bypassed when photolysis was carried out at 24 hpf. Electrophysiological recordings showed that while dark-raised CyHQ-gad1 morphant animals looked phenotypically comparable to wild-type animals, they exhibited abnormal, seizure-like neural activity.

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.

Despite the existence of a detailed picture of inter-LBD conformational dynamics and structural snapshots of both isolated domains and full-length receptors, it remains unclear how mGluR activation proceeds at the level of the transmembrane domains (TMDs) and how TMD-targeting allosteric drugs exert their effects. Here, we use time-resolved functional and conformational assays to dissect the mechanisms by which allosteric drugs activate and modulate mGluR2.

G protein-coupled receptors are one of the eight major pharmacological targets into which the Guide is divided, with the others being: ligand-gated ion channels, voltage-gated ion channels, other ion channels, nuclear hormone receptors, catalytic receptors, enzymes and transporters. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside key references and suggestions for further reading.
