A cDNA encoding a 100-kDa subunit (XenNR1) of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor type has been cloned from Xenopus central nervous system. When XenNR1 is coexpressed in a mammalian cell line with a recently cloned 51-kDa non-NMDA receptor subunit (XenU1), also from Xenopus, it forms a functional unitary receptor exhibiting the pharmacological properties characteristic of both NMDA and non-NMDA receptors. Firstly, XenU1 can replace NR2 subunits, in complementing XenNR1 to introduce the ligand binding properties of a complete NMDA receptor. Second, responses to both NMDA and non-NMDA receptor agonists and antagonists were obtained in patch-clamp recordings from the cotransfected cells, but no significant responses were recorded when the cells were singly transfected. Third, from solubilized cell membranes from the cotransfected cells, an antibody to the NR1 subunit coprecipitated the binding sites of the non-NMDA receptor subunit. The unitary glutamate receptor has a unique set of properties that denote intersubunit interaction, including a glycine requirement for the responses to non-NMDA as well as to NMDA receptor agonists and voltage-dependent block by Mg2+ of the non-NMDA agonist responses.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
