Mechanisms of activation, inhibition and specificity: crystal structures of the NMDA receptor NR1 ligand-binding core.

  ABSTRACT  
 
Excitatory neurotransmission mediated by the N-methyl-D-aspartate subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors is fundamental to the development and function of the mammalian central nervous system. NMDA receptors require both glycine and glutamate for activation with NR1 and NR2 forming glycine and glutamate sites, respectively. Mechanisms to describe agonist and antagonist binding, and activation and desensitization of NMDA receptors have been hampered by the lack of high-resolution structures. Here, we describe the cocrystal structures of the NR1 S1S2 ligand-binding core with the agonists glycine and D-serine (DS), the partial agonist D-cycloserine (DCS) and the antagonist 5,7-dichlorokynurenic acid (DCKA). The cleft of the S1S2 'clamshell' is open in the presence of the antagonist DCKA and closed in the glycine, DS and DCS complexes. In addition, the NR1 S1S2 structure reveals the fold and interactions of loop 1, a cysteine-rich region implicated in intersubunit allostery.

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.
