摘要: The high flux rate of Ca2+ through NMDA receptor (NMDAR) channels is critical for their biological function and may depend on a binding site in the extracellular vestibule. We screened substitutions hydrophilic residues exposed vestibule identified cluster charged proline, DRPEER motif, positioned C terminal to M3, that unique NR1 subunit. Charge neutralization or conversion altered fractional currents manner consistent with its forming Ca2+. Similarly, mutant channel which all negative charges are neutralized (ARPAAR), block by single-channel current amplitudes attenuated. In these same channels, Mg2+ unaffected. located extracellularly, contribution influx distinct from narrow constriction. conclude key DRPEER, acting as an external Ca2+, along conserved asparagine M3 segment proper, contribute under physiological conditions. Therefore, domains represent molecular determinants NMDAR synaptic physiology.
