  ABSTRACT  
 
An unresolved problem in understanding neurotransmitter receptor function concerns the mechanism(s) by which full and partial agonists elicit different amplitude responses at equal receptor occupancy. The widely held view of 'partial agonism' posits that resting and active states of the receptor are in equilibrium, and partial agonists simply do not shift the equilibrium toward the active state as efficaciously as full agonists. Here we report findings from crystallographic and electrophysiological studies of the mechanism of activation of an AMPA-subtype glutamate receptor ion channel. In these experiments, we used 5-substituted willardiines, a series of partial agonists that differ by only a single atom. Our results show that the GluR2 ligand-binding core can adopt a range of ligand-dependent conformational states, which in turn control the open probability of discrete subconductance states of the intact ion channel. Our findings thus provide a structure-based model of partial agonism.

Figure 1.
Figure 1. Ionotropic glutamate receptor domain organization and agonist structure. (a) iGluR domain organization. Polypeptide segments S1 and S2 comprise the water-soluble, ligand-binding core and the S1S2J construct studied here includes residues 392 -506 (S1) and 632 -775 (S2) linked together by a Gly -Thr dipeptide. The amino terminal domain (ATD) and the transmembrane segments are not contained within the S1S2J construct. (b) Chemical structures of glutamate and 5-substituted willardiines. 		Figure 3.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
