Title: Structural basis of GluK2 kainate receptor activation by a partial agonist.
Authors: Guadalupe Segura-Covarrubias / Changping Zhou / Nebojša Bogdanović / Lisa Zhang / Nami Tajima /
Abstract: Kainate receptors (KARs) belong to the family of ionotropic glutamate receptors that regulate neurotransmitter release and excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Despite ...Kainate receptors (KARs) belong to the family of ionotropic glutamate receptors that regulate neurotransmitter release and excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Despite their critical roles in synaptic signaling and disease, the detailed gating mechanisms of KARs are not completely understood. Here we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of homomeric rat GluK2 KAR in an unliganded apo state and in complexes with a partial agonist, domoate. Partial agonist-bound GluK2 populates multiple conformations, including intermediate and desensitized states. Moreover, we demonstrate that the N-glycans at the amino-terminal domain-ligand binding domain (LBD) interface modulate receptor gating properties by interfering with cation binding at the LBD dimer interface. Together, these results provide insights into the unique gating mechanisms of KARs.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
