摘要：

Although then is a high degree of homology in the M2 transmembrane segments of alpha(1) and beta(1) subunits, subunit-specific effects were observed in alpha(1)beta(1) GABA(A) receptors expressed in Spodoptera frugipedra (Sf9) cells when the conserved 13' threonine residue in the M2 transmembrane region was mutated to alanine. When threonine 263 (13') was mutated to alanine in the beta(1) subunit, high-affinity muscimol binding and the response to GABA were abolished. This did not occur when the threonine 263 (13') was mutated to alanine in the alpha(1) subunit, but the rate of desensitisation increased and the effect of bicuculline, a competitive inhibitor, was reduced. The results show differential effects of subunits on receptor function and support a role for M2 in desensitisation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
