Human Glycine Receptor, alpha 2 (GLRa2) interaction partners

1. data show that the current-voltage relationships of homomeric channels formed by the alpha2 or alpha3 subunits change upon receptor desensitization from a linear to an inwardly rectifying shape, in contrast to their heteromeric counterparts.

2. investigated neural progenitor cells in respect to their glycine receptor function and subunit expression using electrophysiology, calcium imaging, immunocytochemistry, and quantitative real-time PCR

3. Enhancement of azurophil granule-phagosome fusion via glycine receptor alpha 2 subunit (GlyRalpha2)/transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM)2/p38 MAP kinase signaling is a novel target for enhancement of neutrophil bactericidal activity.

4. Effects of 12 times normal atmospheric pressure of helium-oxygen gas (pressure) on ethanol-induced potentiation of GlyR function in Xenopus oocytes expressing human alpha1, alpha2 or the mutant alpha1(A52S) GlyRs were measured by voltage clamp technics

5. The molecular basis for the differential sensitivity of GlyR alpha(1) and GlyR alpha(2) to Zn(2+) potentiation is reported.

Mouse (Murine) Glycine Receptor, alpha 2 (GLRa2) interaction partners

1. alpha2 and alpha3 GlyRs are present in various regions of the forebrain and that alpha3 GlyRs specifically participate in tonic inhibition in the striatum and prefrontal cortex.

2. These results, which reveal neurodevelopmental roles for alpha2-GlyRs in the adult brain, may be clinically relevant, given that a mutation in GLAR2, as well as Adult hippocampal neurogenesis impairments.

3. Findings show that the loss of embryonic GlyRalpha2 ultimately impairs the formation of cortical circuits in the mature brain; results demonstrate a physiological role for alpha2 GlyRs during cortical network formation and homeostasis

4. genetic inactivation of Glra2, the gene coding the alpha2 subunit of GlyRs, disrupts dorsal cortical progenitor homeostasis with an impaired capability of apical progenitors to generate basal progenitors.

5. Endogenous activation of Glra2 promotes neuronal migration by regulating nucleokinesis.

6. The distinct developmental regulation of GlyRalpha2 in the murine cochlea advocates a contribution of these chloride channels to efferent olivocochlear innervation.

7. Findings are the first to define GlyR subunit-specific control of visual function and GlyRalpha2 subunit-specific control of crossover inhibition in the retina.

8. Data suggest that GlyRalpha2, the developmentally expressed glycine receptor, may play an important role in neuronal development.

9. Glycinergic sIPSCs of amacrine cells had slow kinetics (tau=27+/-6.8 ms) that were significantly prolonged in Glra2-/- mice (tau=69+/-16 ms).

10. Glycine receptors (GlyRs) of group II cells are dominated by the alpha2 subunit; GlyRs of ON-starburst amacrine cells appear to be dominated by the alpha4 subunit.
