Cation transporter family protein; The Ligand-gated Ion Channel (LIC) Family of Neurotransmitter Receptors TC 1.A.9)Members of the LIC family of ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors are found only in vertebrate and invertebrate animals. They exhibit receptor specificity for (1)acetylcholine, (2) serotonin, (3) glycine, (4) glutamate and (5) g-aminobutyric acid (GABA). All of these receptor channels are probably hetero- orhomopentameric. The best characterized are the nicotinic acetyl-choline receptors which are pentameric channels of a2bgd subunit composition. All subunits arehomologous. The three dimensional structures of the protein complex in both the open and closed configurations have been solved at 0.9 nm resolution.The channel protein complexes of the LIC family preferentially transport cations or anions depending on the channel (e.g., the acetylcholine receptors are cationselective while glycine receptors are anion selective).

Thus far, there are 18 vertebrate receptor subunits categorized in 7 families: alpha1-6, beta1-4, gamma1-4, delta, epsilon, theta, rho, and pi. The transmembrane region consists of four transmembrane-spanning alpha-helical segments (M1-M4) that are linked by loops. The intracellular loop that links M1 and M2 determines the ion selectivity of the channel. GABAAR is an anionic channel, mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. GlyR, with a similar structure as GABAAR, is concentrated in the brain stem and spinal cord in the CNS and can be activated by glycine, beta-alanine, or taurine. It is selectively blocked by the high-affinity competitive antagonist strychnine, which causes death by asphyxiation.

transmembrane domain of glutamate gated chloride channel (GluCl); This family contains transmembrane (TM) domain of the glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl) found only in protostomia but are closely related to mammalian glycine receptors. The transmembrane region consists of four transmembrane-spanning alpha-helical segments (M1-M4) that are linked by loops. The intracellular loop that links M1 and M2 determines the ion selectivity of the channel. These GluCl channels have several roles in these invertebrates, including controlling locomotion and feeding, and mediating sensory inputs into behavior. Comparison of the GluCl gene families between organisms shows that insect gene family is relatively simple, while that found in nematodes tends to be larger and more diverse. Glutamate is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that shapes the responses of projection neurons to olfactory stimuli in the Drosophila. GluCls are targeted by the macrocyclic lactone family of anthelmintics and pesticides in arthropods and nematodes, thus making the GluCls of considerable medical and economic importance. In Drosophila melanogaster, GluCl mediates sensitivity to the antiparasitic agents ivermectin and nodulisporic acid, suggesting that their drug target is the same throughout the Ecdysozoa.

transmembrane domain of alpha subunits of glycine receptor (GlyR); This family contains transmembrane (TM) domain of the alpha subunit of glycine receptor (GlyR or GLR) of the amino acid neurotransmitter glycine. The transmembrane region consists of four transmembrane-spanning alpha-helical segments (M1-M4) that are linked by loops. The intracellular loop that links M1 and M2 determines the ion selectivity of the channel. GlyR has four known isoforms of the alpha-subunit (alpha1-4, encoded by GLRA1, GLRA2, GLRA3, GLRA4) that are essential to bind ligands and, along with the GlyR beta subunit, have been described to have a regionally and temporally controlled expression during development and maturation of the central nervous system (CNS). These alpha subunits are highly homologous but differ in their kinetic properties, temporal and regional expression and physiological functions. They can form functional chloride-permeable GlyR ion channels by forming homopentamers with 5 alpha subunits or heteropentamers with a combination of alpha and beta subunits, either a 2alpha-3beta or 3alpha-2beta stoichiometry. In human, mutations in glycine receptor alpha subunits cause disruption of GlyR surface expression or reduced ability of expressed GlyRs to conduct chloride ions. Mutations in GlyR alpha1 subunit leads to hyperekplexia, a rare neurological disorder characterized by neonatal hypertonia and exaggerated startle responses to unexpected stimuli, while mutations in GlyR alpha2 are known to cause cortical neuronal migration/autism spectrum disorder and in GlyR alpha3 to cause inflammatory pain sensitization/rhythmic breathing. GlyR alpha1 and alpha2 subunits have an important role in regulation of the excitatory-inhibitory balance, control of motor actions, modulation of sedative ethanol effects and probably regulation of ethanol preference and consumption.

gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor extracellular domain; This family contains extracellular domain (ECD) of type-A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR), a member of the pentameric "Cys-loop" superfamily of transmitter-gated ion channels. This family includes 19 isoforms in human; six alpha, 3 beta, 3 gamma, one of delta, epsilon, pi, and theta, known to form heteropentameric GABAARs, and 3 rho subunits that only form homopentameric channels (also known as GABAA rho or GABAC receptor) or pseudoheteromeric if consisting of different rho subunits. The majority of GABAA receptor pentamers contain two alpha subunits, two beta subunits, and a gamma subunit, with different isoforms affecting potency of the neurotransmitter. GABAAR is an anionic channel, mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Upon gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding to its site on the ECD, Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. Benzodiazepine and barbiturates each bind to their own distinct sites on the ECD. The channels have to contain the gamma subunit and alpha subunits in order to respond to benzodiazepines. Specific combinations of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits exhibit ethanol sensitivity. All these major classes of drugs favor channel-opening. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy.

Mutations in GABRB2, and GABRB3 have been associated with infantile spasms and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. A de novo missense mutation of GABRB2 causes early myoclonic encephalopathy, a disease with a devastating prognosis, characterized by neonatal onset of seizures. Another de novo heterozygous missense variant in exon 4 of GABRB2 is associated with intellectual disability and epilepsy.

Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. These rho subunits homo-oligomerize to form GABAA-rho receptors (formerly classified as GABA-rho or GABAC receptor) but do not co-assemble with any of the classical GABAA subunits. They are especially high expression in the retina and their distinctive pharmacological properties are unique; they are not modulated by many GABAA receptor modulators such as barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and neuroactive steroids. In humans, mutations in the rho-1 and rho genes, GABRR1 and GABRR2, may be responsible for some cases of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. Variation in GABRR1 is also associated with susceptibility to bipolar schizoaffective disorder while a SNP in GABRR2 has been reported to show association with autism.

A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. Receptors containing the delta subunit (GABRD) are expressed exclusively extra-synaptically (in the cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, striatum, and cerebellum) and mediate tonic inhibition. Studies suggest that delta subunits form heteropentamers in similar stoichiometry and arrangement as alpha/beta/gamma receptors, with the delta subunit replacing the gamma subunit (2alpha:2beta:1delta), although other stoichiometries have also been detected. The delta subunit is flexible in its positioning in the pentameric complex, producing receptors with diverse pharmacological properties.

These neurotransmitter receptors directly mediate chloride permeability and constitute one half of the Cys-loop receptor family. Receptors in this family are composed of five either identical or homologous subunits, which generate diversity in functional profiles and pharmacological preferences. GABAAR and GlyR, both mediate fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR receptor pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GluCl channels are found only in protostomia, but are closely related to mammalian glycine receptors (GlyRs). They have several roles in these invertebrates, including controlling locomotion and feeding, and mediating sensory inputs into behavior. Ligand-gated chloride channels are critical not only for maintaining appropriate neuronal activity, but have long been important therapeutic targets: benzodiazepines, barbiturates, some intravenous and volatile anaesthetics, alcohol, strychnine, picrotoxin, and ivermectin all derive their biological activity from acting on this inhibitory half of the Cys-loop receptor family. Many of the therapeutically useful compounds acting at Cys-loop receptors target an allosteric site. The sites in Cys-loop receptors at which these allosteric ligands bind and their structure-based mechanisms of action are largely unresolved.

It is also highly expressed in certain types of cancer such as basal-like breast cancer and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. GABRP is involved in inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Its assembly with other GABAAR subunits alters the sensitivity of recombinant receptors to modulatory agents such as pregnanolone.

An autosomal dominant R271Q mutation in GLRA1 causes hyperekplexia (Startle disease or Stiff Baby Syndrome) by decreasing glycine sensitivity.

gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-like extracellular domain in protostomia, such as GRD (GABA/glycine-like receptor of Drosophila); This family contains extracellular domain of alpha-like subunits of type-A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR) found in protostomia, similar to Drosophila melanogaster GABA/ glycine-like receptor of Drosophila (GRD) subunits. Drosophila melanogaster expresses three GABA-receptor subunit orthologs: (RDL, resistant to dieldrin; GRD, GABA/glycine-like receptor of Drosophila; LCCH3, ligand-gated chloride channel homolog 3), and may possibly form homo- and/or heteropentameric associations. LCCH3 has been shown to combine with subunit GRD to form cation-selective GABA-gated ion channels when co-expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. GABAARs are known to be the molecular targets of a class of insecticides. The resulting pentameric receptors in this family have been shown to be activated by insect GABA-receptor agonists muscimol and CACA, and blocked by antagonists fipronil, dieldrin, and picrotoxin, but not bicuculline. GABAARs are abundant in the CNS, where their physiological role is to mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission. In insects, this inhibitory transmission plays a crucial role in olfactory information processing. Pssm-ID: 349808 Cd Length: 183 Bit Score: 65.34 E-value: 6.61e-13

transmembrane domain of Cys-loop neurotransmitter-gated ion channels; This superfamily contains the transmembrane domain of Cys-loop neurotransmitter-gated ion channels, which include nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor (5-HT3), type-A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR), and glycine receptor (GlyR). These ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are found across metazoans and have close homologs in bacteria. They are vital for communication throughout the nervous system where the sign of synaptic connections (excitatory or inhibitory) is determined by the charge of the ions that flow through these channels. In general, channels that conduct positive ions are excitatory, whereas channels that conduct negative ions are inhibitory. The transmembrane region consists of four transmembrane-spanning alpha-helical segments (M1-M4) that are linked by loops. The intracellular loop that links M1 and M2 determines the ion selectivity of the channel. GABAAR and GlyR are anionic channels, both mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR receptor pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. nAChR is a non-selective cation channel that is permeable to Na+ and K+, and some subunit combinations are also permeable to Ca2+. Na+ enters and K+ exits to allow net flow of positively charged ions inward. 5-HT3, a cation-selective channel, binds serotonin and is permeable to Na+, K+, and Ca2+. It mediates neuronal depolarization and excitation within the central and peripheral nervous systems. These ligand-gated chloride channels are critical not only for maintaining appropriate neuronal activity, but have long been important therapeutic targets: benzodiazepines, barbiturates, some intravenous and volatile anaesthetics, alcohol, strychnine, picrotoxin, and ivermectin all derive their biological activity from acting on the inhibitory half of the Cys-loop receptor family.

GlyR has four known isoforms of the alpha-subunit (alpha1-4, encoded by GLRA1, GLRA2, GLRA3, GLRA4) that are essential to bind ligands and a single beta-subunit (encoded by GLRB), all of which have been described to have a regionally and temporally controlled expression during development and maturation of the central nervous system (CNS). Functional chloride-permeable GlyR ion channels are formed by 5 alpha subunit homopentamers or by alpha and beta subunit heteropentamers, which form complexes with either a 2alpha-3beta or 3alpha-2beta stoichiometry. The receptor can be activated by glycine as well as beta-alanine and taurine, and can be selectively blocked by the high-affinity competitive antagonist strychnine. Caffeine is also a competitive antagonist of GlyR. In human, glycine receptor alpha1 and beta subunits are the major targets of mutations that cause disruption of GlyR surface expression or reduced ability of expressed GlyRs to conduct chloride ions, leading to hyperekplexia, a rare neurological disorder characterized by neonatal hypertonia and exaggerated startle responses to unexpected stimuli.

Histamine (HA) is a neurotransmitter that activates GPCRs in vertebrates, but in arthropods, it is a photoreceptor neurotransmitter, directly gating chloride channels on large monopolar cells (LMCs), postsynaptic to photoreceptors in the lamina. It has also been reported to play important roles in mechanosensory reception, temperature preference, and sleep in insects. HA activates its receptor channels to cause an inward chloride flux in the insect nervous system. In Drosophila, HA acts on two histamine-gated chloride channel (HGCC) subunits called HisCl1 (HisClalpha2, HCLB) and HisCl2 (HisClalpha1, Ort, HCLA). HisCl1 (HCLB) and HisCl2 (HCLA) are expressed predominantly in the insect eye, sharing 60% sequence identity, and forming homomeric and heteromeric HGCCs. HCLA homomers are involved in synaptic transmission in the lamina, while HCLB homomers, localized in the glia cells, have a role in shaping the transmission. HCLB channels, but not HCLA channels, are also responsible for the activation and maintenance of wake state in D. melanogaster. In Manduca sexta, HCLB channels in the flight sensory-motor have been shown to be involved in olfactory processing circuit. Studies show that HCLB channels are more sensitive to agonists when compared with HCLA channels, but insensitive to known LGCC insecticides.
