Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In cerebellar Purkinje cells, type-1 metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR1), which serves as the trigger of synaptic plasticity underlying motor learning, is suggested to be complexed with adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) and B-type gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAbR). We applied surface plasmon resonance imaging and fluorometry to HEK-293 cells heterologously expressing these receptors and found that A1R and GABAbR can form complexes with mGluR1 and modulate mGluR1 signaling without the neuron-specific cellular environment. We also found that these modulations do not require Gi/o protein and may be induced dynamically with cerebrospinal fluid levels of adenosine and GABA. These findings provide an insight into the regulatory mechanism of cerebellar motor learning.
