Evidence for a tetrameric structure of recombinant NMDA receptors

B Laube, J Kuhse, H Betz - Journal of Neuroscience, 1998 - Soc Neuroscience
The amino acids l-glutamate and glycine are essential agonists of the excitatory NMDA
receptor, a subtype of the ionotropic glutamate receptor family. The native NMDA receptor is …

[PDF][PDF] Molecular determinants of agonist discrimination by NMDA receptor subunits: analysis of the glutamate binding site on the NR2B subunit

B Laube, H Hirai, M Sturgess, H Betz, J Kuhse - Neuron, 1997 - cell.com
NMDA receptors require both L-glutamate and the coagonist glycine for efficient channel
activation. The glycine binding site of these heteromeric receptor proteins is formed by regions …

Mutations in GRIN2A and GRIN2B encoding regulatory subunits of NMDA receptors cause variable neurodevelopmental phenotypes

…, N Villeneuve, L Villard, B Zabel, M Zenker, B Laube… - Nature …, 2010 - nature.com
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors mediate excitatory neurotransmission in the
mammalian brain. Two glycine-binding NR1 subunits and two glutamate-binding NR2 subunits …

Mutations in GRIN2A cause idiopathic focal epilepsy with rolandic spikes

…, I Steiner, M Nothnagel, M Alber, K Geider, B Laube… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Idiopathic focal epilepsy (IFE) with rolandic spikes is the most common childhood epilepsy,
comprising a phenotypic spectrum from rolandic epilepsy (also benign epilepsy with …

Mutational analysis of the glycine-binding site of the NMDA receptor: structural similarity with bacterial amino acid-binding proteins

A Kuryatov, B Laube, H Betz, J Kuhse - Neuron, 1994 - cell.com
Activation of the NMDA subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors requires binding of both L-glutamate
and the coagonist glycine. Site-directed mutagenesis of the NMDARI (NRl) …

Loss of postsynaptic GABAA receptor clustering in gephyrin-deficient mice

M Kneussel, JH Brandstätter, B Laube… - Journal of …, 1999 - Soc Neuroscience
The tubulin-binding protein gephyrin, which anchors the inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR) at
postsynaptic sites, decorates GABAergic postsynaptic membranes in various brain regions, …

[HTML][HTML] The β subunit determines the ligand binding properties of synaptic glycine receptors

…, S Haeger, A Nicke, G Schmalzing, H Betz, B Laube - Neuron, 2005 - cell.com
Inhibitory glycine receptors (GlyRs) regulate motor coordination and sensory signal
processing in spinal cord and other brain regions. GlyRs are pentameric proteins composed of …

Glycine receptors: recent insights into their structural organization and functional diversity

H Betz, B Laube - Journal of neurochemistry, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Strychnine‐sensitive glycine receptors (GlyRs) are known to mediate synaptic inhibition in
spinal cord, brainstem and other regions of the CNS. During the past 5 years, considerable …

[PDF][PDF] Deletion of the mouse glycine transporter 2 results in a hyperekplexia phenotype and postnatal lethality

…, W Armsen, V Eulenburg, DW Richter, B Laube… - Neuron, 2003 - cell.com
The glycine transporter subtype 2 (GlyT2) is localized in the axon terminals of glycinergic
neurons. Mice deficient in GlyT2 are normal at birth but during the second postnatal week …

GRIN2B mutations in west syndrome and intellectual disability with focal epilepsy

JR Lemke, R Hendrickx, K Geider, B Laube… - Annals of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
