extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 5 (CHRNA5); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 5 (alpha5), encoded by the CHRNA5 gene, which is part of the CHRNA5/A3/B4 gene cluster. Polymorphisms in this gene cluster have been identified as risk factors for nicotine dependence, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, alcoholism, and peripheral arterial disease. A loss-of-function polymorphism in CHRNA5 is strongly linked to nicotine abuse and schizophrenia; the alpha5 nAChR subunit is strategically situated in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), where a loss-of-function in this subunit may contribute to cognitive disruptions in both disorders. Alpha5 forms heteropentamers with alpha3beta2 or alpha3beta4 nAChRs which increases the calcium permeability of the resulting receptors possibly playing significant roles in the initiation of ACh-induced signaling cascades under normal and pathological condition. Acetylcholine (ACh) release and signaling via alpha4/beta2 nAChR subunits plays a central role in the control of attention, but a subset of these oligomers also contains alpha5 subunit. A strong association is seen between a CHRNA5 polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer, especially in smokers. : Pssm-ID: 349819 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 207 Bit Score: 448.26 E-value: 5.09e-159

transmembrane domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR); This family contains transmembrane (TM) domain of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). The transmembrane region consists of four transmembrane-spanning alpha-helical segments (M1-M4) that are linked by loops. The intracellular loop that links M1 and M2 determines the ion selectivity of the channel. nAChR is found in high concentrations at the nerve-muscle synapse, where it mediates fast chemical transmission of electrical signals in response to the endogenous neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) released from the nerve terminal into the synaptic cleft. Thus far, seventeen nAChR subunits have been identified, including ten alpha subunits, four beta subunits and one gamma, delta, and epsilon subunit each, all found on the cell membrane that non-selectively conducts cations (Na+, K+, Ca++). These nAChR subunits combine in several different ways to form functional nAChR subtypes which are broadly categorized as either muscle subtype located at the neuromuscular junction or neuronal subtype that are found on neurons and on other cell types throughout the body. The muscle type of nAChRs are formed by the alpha1, beta1, gamma, delta, and epsilon subunits while the neuronal type are composed of nine alpha subunits and three beta subunits, which combine in various permutations and combinations to form functional receptors. Among various subtypes of neuronal nAChRs, the homomeric alpha7 and the heteromeric alpha4beta2 receptors are the main subtypes widely distributed in the brain and implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia and autism and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Among subtypes of muscle nAChRs, the heteromeric subunits (alpha1)2, beta, gamma, and delta in fetal muscle, and the gamma subunit replaced by epsilon in adult muscle have been implicated in congenital myasthenic syndromes and multiple pterygium syndromes due to various mutations. This family also includes alpha- and beta-like nAChRs found in protostomia. Pssm-ID: 349866 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 113 Bit Score: 159.60 E-value: 1.42e-47

This subunit is incorporated in heteropentameric neuronal nAChRs mainly with beta2 or beta4 subunits and, along with the alpha4 and alpha7, is one of the main nAChR subunits expressed in primate brain. In Xenopus laevis oocytes, when alpha2 is co-expressed with the beta2 subunit, two subtypes of alpha2beta2 nAChR are formed with either low or high ACh sensitivity.

C. elegans genome encodes 29 acetylcholine receptor subunits, of which the levamisole-sensitive receptor (L-AChR) alpha-subunits, UNC-38, UNC-63, and LEV-8, included in this subfamily, form heteromers with the two non-alpha (also known as beta-like) subunits, UNC-29 and LEV-1. This receptor functions as the main excitatory postsynaptic receptor at neuromuscular junctions, indicating that many are expressed in neurons. Also included is the nicotinic alpha subunit MARA1 (Manduca ACh Receptor Alpha 1) which is expressed in Ca2+ responding neurons and contributes to the nicotinic responses in the neurons. In insects, the receptors supply fast synaptic excitatory transmission and represent a major target for several insecticides. In Drosophila, ten exclusively neuronal nAChRs have been identified, Dalpha1-Dalpha7 and Dbeta1-Dbeta3, and various combinations of these subunits and mutations are key to nAChR function. Alpha5 subunit is involved in alpha-bungarotoxin sensitivity while the alpha6 subunit is essential for the insecticidal effect of spinosad. nAChR agonists acetylcholine, nicotine, and neonicotinoids stimulate dopamine release in Drosophila larval ventral nerve cord and mutations in nAChR subunits affect how insecticides stimulate dopamine release.

extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 3 (CHRNA3); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 3 (alpha3), encoded by the CHRNA3 gene, and likely plays a role in neurotransmission. The alpha3 subunit is expressed in the aorta and macrophages, and may play a regulatory role in the process of vascular inflammation. One of the most broadly expressed subtype is the alpha3beta4 nAChR, also known as the ganglion-type nicotinic receptor, located in the autonomic ganglia and adrenal medulla, where activation yields post- and/or presynaptic excitation, mainly by increased Na+ and K+ permeability. The exact pentameric stochiometry of alpha3beta4 receptor is not known and functional assemblies with varying subunit stoichiometries are possible. Alpha4 plays a pivotal role in regulating the inflammatory responses in endothelial cells and macrophages, via mechanisms involving the modulations of multiple cell signaling pathways. Polymorphisms in this gene (CHRNA3) have been associated with an increased risk of smoking initiation and an increased susceptibility to lung cancer.

extracellular domain of neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 4 (CHRNA4); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 4 (alpha4), encoded by the CHRNA4 gene. Alpha4 forms a functional nAChR by interacting with either nAChR beta2 or beta4 subunits. Alpha4beta2, the major heteropentameric nAChR in the brain, exists in two isoforms, (alpha4)3(beta2)2 and (alpha4)2(beta2)3, with the latter believed to constitute the majority of alpha4beta2 nAChR in the cortex. Both isoforms contain two canonical alpha4:beta2 ACh-binding sites with either low or high ACh sensitivity. This protein is an integral membrane receptor subunit that can interact with either nAChR beta-2 or nAChR beta-4 to form a functional receptor. Mutations in this gene (CHRNA4) cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Polymorphisms in this gene may provide protection against nicotine addiction.

extracellular domain of neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 9 (CHRNA9); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 9 (alpha9), encoded by the CHRNA9 gene. This protein is involved in cochlea hair cell development and is also expressed in the outer hair cells (OHCs) of the adult cochlea as well as in keratinocytes, the pituitary gland, B-cells, and T-cells. Mammalian alpha9 subunits can form functional homomeric alpha9 receptors as well as the heteromeric alpha9alpha10 receptors, the latter being atypical since the heteromeric alpha9alpha10 receptor is composed only of alpha subunits compared to nAChRs typically assembled from alpha and beta subunits. A stoichiometry of (alpha9)2(alpha10)3 has been determined for the rat recombinant receptor. The alpha9alpha10 nAChR is an important therapeutic target for pain; selective block of alpha9alpha10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by the conotoxin RgIA has been shown to be analgesic in an animal model of nerve injury pain, and accelerates recovery of nerve function after injury, possibly through immune/inflammatory-mediated mechanisms. CHRNA9 polymorphisms are associated with non-small cell lung cancer, and effect of a particular SNP (rs73229797) and passive smoking exposure on risk of breast malignancy has been observed.

extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit beta 1 (CHRNB1); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit beta 1 (beta1), encoded by the CHRNB1 gene. It is a muscle type subunit found predominantly in the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), but also in other tissues and cell lines such as adrenal glands, carcinomas, brain, and lung. Simultaneous mRNA and protein expression of beta1 nAChR subunit is present in human placenta and skeletal muscle. The beta1 nAChR subunit forms a heteropentamer with either (alpha1)2, gamma and delta subunits in embryonic type or (alpha1)2, epsilon and delta subunits in adult type receptors. nAChRs containing beta1 subunits have been attributed to efficient clustering and anchoring of the receptors to the cytoskeleton which is important for formation of synapses in the NMJ.

extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit beta 2 (CHRNB2); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit beta 2 (beta2), encoded by the CHRNB2 gene. The most abundant nicotinic subtype in the human brain is alpha4beta2 receptor which is known to assemble in two functional subunit stoichiometries, (alpha4)3(beta2)2 and (alpha4)2(beta2)3, the latter having a much higher affinity for both acetylcholine and nicotine. This subtype is implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia and autism, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, pharmacological ligands targeting this subtype have been researched and developed as a treatment approach implicated in these diseases. They include agonists such as varenicline and cytisine used as smoking cessation aids, as well as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) such as desformylflustrabromine (dFBr), which are ligands that bind to nicotinic receptors at sites other than the orthosteric site where acetylcholine binds, and are not able to act as agonists on nAChR.

extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit beta 4 (CHRNB4); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit beta 4 (beta4), encoded by the CHRNB4 gene and ubiquitously expressed on lung epithelial cells. The cluster of human neuronal nicotinic receptor gene CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 is related to drug-related behaviors and the development of lung cancer. One of the most broadly expressed subtype is the alpha-3 beta-4 nAChR, also known as the ganglion-type nicotinic receptor, located in the autonomic ganglia and adrenal medulla, where activation yields post- and/or pre-synaptic excitation, mainly by increased Na+ and K+ permeability. Beta4 forms heteromeric nAchRs to modulate receptor affinity for nicotine, but the exact pentameric stochiometry of alpha3beta4 receptor is not known; functional assemblies with varying subunit stoichiometries are possible.

extracellular domain (ECD) of Cys-loop neurotransmitter-gated ion channels (also known as ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC)); This superfamily contains the extracellular domain (ECD) of Cys-loop neurotransmitter-gated ion channels, which include nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor (5-HT3), type-A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR) and glycine receptor (GlyR). These ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are found across metazoans and have close homologs in bacteria. They are vital for communication throughout the nervous system. GABAAR and GlyR are anionic channels, both mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR receptor pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. nAChR is a non-selective cation channel that is permeable to Na+ and K+, and some subunit combinations are also permeable to Ca2+. Na+ enters and K+ exits to allow net flow of positively charged ions inward. 5-HT3, a cation-selective channel, binds serotonin and is permeable to Na+, K+, and Ca2+. It mediates neuronal depolarization and excitation within the central and peripheral nervous systems. These ligand-gated chloride channels are critical not only for maintaining appropriate neuronal activity, but have long been important therapeutic targets: benzodiazepines, barbiturates, some intravenous and volatile anaesthetics, alcohol, strychnine, picrotoxin, and ivermectin all derive their biological activity from acting on the inhibitory half of the Cys-loop receptor family.

extracellular domain of neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 10 (CHRNA10); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 10 (alpha10), encoded by the CHRNA10 gene. This protein is involved in cochlea hair cell development and is also expressed in the outer hair cells (OHCs) of the adult cochlea as well as in keratinocytes, the pituitary gland, B-cells, and T-cells. Unlike alpha9 nAChR subunits, alpha10 subunits do not generate functional channels when expressed heterologously, suggesting that alpha10 might serve as a structural subunit, much like a beta subunit of heteromeric receptors, providing only complementary components to the agonist binding site. Mammalian alpha10 subunits can form functional heteromeric alpha9alpha10 receptors, an atypical heteromeric receptor since it is composed only of alpha subunits compared to nAChRs typically assembled from alpha and beta subunits. A stoichiometry of (alpha9)2(alpha10)3 has been determined for the rat recombinant receptor. The alpha9alpha10 nAChR is an important therapeutic target for pain; selective block of alpha9alpha10 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by the conotoxin RgIA has been shown to be analgesic in an animal model of nerve injury pain, and accelerates recovery of nerve function after injury, possibly through immune/inflammatory-mediated mechanisms.

extracellular domain of neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 7 (CHRNA7); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 7 (alpha7), encoded by the CHRNA7 gene. Alpha7 subunits form a homo-pentameric channel, displays marked permeability to calcium ions and is a major component of brain nicotinic receptors that are blocked by, and highly sensitive to, alpha-bungarotoxin. This protein is ubiquitously expressed in both the central nervous system and in the periphery, in several tissues, including adrenal, small intestine, testis, and stomach. CHRNA7 is located in a region identified as a major susceptibility locus for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and a chromosomal location involved in the genetic transmission of schizophrenia. It is also genetically linked to other disorders with cognitive deficits, including bipolar disorder, ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, and Rett syndrome. An evolutionarily recent partial duplication of CHRNA7 on chromosome 15 forms a new gene, CHRFAM7A or FAM7A, which encodes the protein dup-alpha7. This protein assembles with alpha7 subunits, results in fewer binding sites and is a dominant negative regulator of alpha7 nAChR function.

extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit delta (CHRND); This subfamily contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit delta (delta), encoded by the CHRND gene and found in the muscle. Delta nAChR subunit forms a heteropentamer with either (alpha1)2, beta and gamma subunits in embryonic type or (alpha1)2, beta and epsilon subunits in adult type receptors. Defects in this gene are a cause of multiple pterygium syndrome lethal type (MUPSL), congenital myasthenic syndrome slow-channel type (SCCMS), and congenital myasthenic syndrome fast-channel type (FCCMS). The slow-channel congenital myasthenic syndromes (SCCMS) are caused by prolonged opening episodes of AChR due to dominant gain-of-function mutations in the transmembrane regions of the heteropentamer. These mutations produce an increase in the channel opening rate, a decrease in the channel closing rate, or an increase in the affinity of ACh for the AChR, resulting in the stabilization of the open state or the destabilization of the closed state of the AChR.

extracellular domain of neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-7-like; This family contains the extracellular domain of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), a member of the pentameric "Cys-loop" superfamily of transmitter-gated ion channels. nAChR is found in high concentrations at the nerve-muscle synapse, where it mediates fast chemical transmission of electrical signals in response to the endogenous neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) released from the nerve terminal into the synaptic cleft. Thus far, seventeen nAChR subunits have been identified, including ten alpha subunits, four beta subunits and one gamma, delta, and epsilon subunit each, all found on the cell membrane that non-selectively conducts cations (Na+, K+, Ca++). These nAChR subunits combine in several different ways to form functional nAChR subtypes which are broadly categorized as either muscle subtype located at the neuromuscular junction or neuronal subtype that are found on neurons and on other cell types throughout the body. The muscle type of nAChRs are formed by the alpha1, beta1, gamma, delta, and epsilon subunits while the neuronal type are composed of nine alpha subunits and three beta subunits, which combine in various permutations and combinations to form functional receptors. Among various subtypes of neuronal nAChRs, the homomeric alpha7 and the heteromeric alpha4beta2 receptors are the main subtypes widely distributed in the brain and implicated in the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia and autism and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Heteromeric combination of A and B subunits provides the full functional features of this receptor, since either subunit alone results in receptors with very low conductance and response amplitude. 5-HT3A receptors are located in the dorsal vagal complex of the brainstem and in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and form a channel circuit that controls gut motility, secretion, visceral perception, and the emesis reflex. These receptors are implicated in several GI and psychiatric disorder conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Several 5-HT3AR antagonists, such as the isoquinoline Palonosetron, are in clinical use to control emetic reflexes associated with gastrointestinal pathologies and cancer therapies.

This ion channel is cation-selective and mediates neuronal depolarization and excitation within the central and peripheral nervous systems. Like other ligand gated ion channels, the 5-HT3 receptor consists of five subunits arranged around a central ion conducting pore, which is permeable to Na+, K+, and Ca2+ ions. Binding of the neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) to the 5-HT3 receptor opens the channel, which then leads to an excitatory response in neurons, and the rapidly activating, desensitizing, inward current is predominantly carried by Na+ and K+ ions. This receptor is most closely related by homology to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Five subunits have been identified for this family: 5-HT3A, 5-HT3B, 5-HT3C, 5-HT3D, and 5-HT3E, encoded by HTR3A-E genes. Only 5-HT3A subunits are able to form functional homomeric receptors, whereas the 5-HT3B, C, D, and E subunits form heteromeric receptors with 5-HT3A.

extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-2 (GABAAR-A2 or GABRA2); This family contains extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-2 (GABAAR-A2), a protein that is encoded by the GABRA2 gene in humans. GABAAR is an anionic channel, mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Upon gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding to the ligand binding site on the ECD, Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. The alpha-2 subunit forms heteropentamers with other GABAAR subunits, most broadly expressed as combination of alpha2beta3gamma2. The alpha-2 (GABRA2) subunit is found primarily in the forebrain and hippocampus, and is more confined to areas of the brain compared to other alpha subunits. GABRA2 increases the risk of anxiety, making it a target for treating behavioral disorders including alcohol dependence, and drug use. GABRA2 is a binding site for benzodiazepines (psychoactive drugs known to reduce anxiety), causing chloride channels to open, leading to the hyper-polarization of the membrane. Other anxiolytic drugs such as Diazepam bind this subunit to induce inhibitory effects. GABRA2 is associated with reward behavior when it activates the insula, the part of the cerebral cortex responsible for emotions. GABA alpha2 and/or alpha3 receptor subtypes are also involved in GABAergic modulation of prolactin secretion. Pssm-ID: 349836 [Multi-domain] Cd Length: 203 Bit Score: 60.05 E-value: 2.38e-10

extracellular domain of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit pi (GABRP); This family contains extracellular domain of pi subunit of type-A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR). GABAAR is an anionic channel, mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Upon gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding to the ligand binding site on ECD, Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. GABRP is expressed mainly in non-neuronal tissues such as the mammary gland, prostate gland, lung, thymus, and uterus. It is also highly expressed in certain types of cancer such as basal-like breast cancer and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. GABRP is involved in inhibitory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Its assembly with other GABAAR subunits alters the sensitivity of recombinant receptors to modulatory agents such as pregnanolone. Studies suggest that polymorphisms in the GABRP gene may be associated with the susceptibility to systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

extracellular domain of prokaryotic pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGIC); This family contains extracellular domain (ECD) of bacterial pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs), including ones from Gloebacter violaceus (GLIC) and Erwinia chrysanthemi (ELIC). These prokaryotic homologs of Cys-loop receptors have been useful in understanding their eukaryotic counterparts. The largely beta-sheet ECD in this family is similar to other pLGICs, but lacks the cysteine loop and an intracellular domain. While most pLGICs undergo desensitization on prolonged exposure to the agonist, GLIC is activated by protons, but does not desensitize, even at proton concentrations eliciting maximal electrophysiological response (pH 4.5). Studies show that GLIC activation is inhibited by most general anaesthetics at clinical concentrations, including xenon which has been used in clinical practice as a potent gaseous anesthetic for decades. Xenon binding sites have been identified in three distinct regions of the TMD: in a large intra-subunit cavity, in the pore, and at the interface between adjacent subunits.

GABAAR is an anionic channel, mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Upon gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding to the ligand binding site on the ECD, Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. The alpha-3 subunit forms heteropentamers with other GABAAR subunits, most broadly expressed as combination of alpha3betagamma2, typically found post-synaptically. Rare loss-of-function variants in GABRA3 have been shown to increase the risk for a varying combination of epilepsy, intellectual disability/developmental delay, and dysmorphic features. GABRA3, normally exclusively expressed in adult brain, is also expressed in breast cancer, with high expression being inversely correlated with breast cancer survival. It activates the AKT pathway to promote breast cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. GABRA3 promotes lymphatic metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma by mediating upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases, MMP-2 and MMP-9, through activation of the JNK/AP-1 signaling pathway. GABRA3 is overexpressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma growth and, with GABA, promotes the proliferation of cancer cells. Pssm-ID: 349837 Cd Length: 200 Bit Score: 56.57 E-value: 3.63e-09

A GABRA6 mutation from Arg to Trp, has been identified as a susceptibility gene that may contribute to the pathogenesis of childhood absence epilepsy and cause neuronal disinhibition and increase in seizures via a reduction of alphabetagamma and alphabetadelta receptor function and expression.

transmembrane domain of Cys-loop neurotransmitter-gated ion channels; This superfamily contains the transmembrane domain of Cys-loop neurotransmitter-gated ion channels, which include nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor (5-HT3), type-A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR), and glycine receptor (GlyR). These ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are found across metazoans and have close homologs in bacteria. They are vital for communication throughout the nervous system where the sign of synaptic connections (excitatory or inhibitory) is determined by the charge of the ions that flow through these channels. In general, channels that conduct positive ions are excitatory, whereas channels that conduct negative ions are inhibitory. The transmembrane region consists of four transmembrane-spanning alpha-helical segments (M1-M4) that are linked by loops. The intracellular loop that links M1 and M2 determines the ion selectivity of the channel. GABAAR and GlyR are anionic channels, both mediating fast inhibitory synaptic transmission. Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR receptor pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. nAChR is a non-selective cation channel that is permeable to Na+ and K+, and some subunit combinations are also permeable to Ca2+. Na+ enters and K+ exits to allow net flow of positively charged ions inward. 5-HT3, a cation-selective channel, binds serotonin and is permeable to Na+, K+, and Ca2+. It mediates neuronal depolarization and excitation within the central and peripheral nervous systems. These ligand-gated chloride channels are critical not only for maintaining appropriate neuronal activity, but have long been important therapeutic targets: benzodiazepines, barbiturates, some intravenous and volatile anaesthetics, alcohol, strychnine, picrotoxin, and ivermectin all derive their biological activity from acting on the inhibitory half of the Cys-loop receptor family.

These alpha subunits are highly homologous, but differ in their kinetic properties, temporal and regional expression and physiological functions. They can form functional chloride-permeable GlyR ion channels by forming homopentamers with 5 alpha subunits or heteropentamers with a combination of alpha and beta subunits, either a 2alpha-3beta or 3alpha-2beta stoichiometry. In human, mutations in glycine receptor alpha subunits cause disruption of GlyR surface expression or reduced ability of expressed GlyRs to conduct chloride ions. Mutations in GlyR alpha1 subunit leads to hyperekplexia, a rare neurological disorder characterized by neonatal hypertonia and exaggerated startle responses to unexpected stimuli, while mutations in GlyR alpha2 are known to cause cortical neuronal migration/autism spectrum disorder and in GlyR alpha3 to cause inflammatory pain sensitization/rhythmic breathing.

Upon gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) binding to the ligand binding site on the ECD, Cl- ions are selectively conducted through the GABAAR pore, resulting in hyperpolarization of the neuron. GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. The beta-2 subunit forms heteropentamers with other GABAAR subunits, with alpha1-beta2-gamma2 subtype being the most prevalent isoform (approximately 50%-60% of all GABAARs), and are expressed in almost all regions of the brain. It also assembles less abundantly as alpha4beta2/3delta and alpha6beta2/3delta. Mutations or genetic variations of the genes encoding the GABRB2 and GABRB3 have been associated with human epilepsy, both with and without febrile seizures. Mutations in GABRB2, and GABRB3 have been associated with infantile spasms and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. A de novo missense mutation of GABRB2 causes early myoclonic encephalopathy, a disease with a devastating prognosis, characterized by neonatal onset of seizures. Another de novo heterozygous missense variant in exon 4 of GABRB2 is associated with intellectual disability and epilepsy. GABRB2 plays important tumorigenic functions and acts as a novel oncogene in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Pssm-ID: 349842 Cd Length: 182 Bit Score: 48.49 E-value: 1.52e-06

GABAAR is the principal mediator of rapid inhibitory synaptic transmission in the human brain. A decline in GABAAR signaling triggers hyperactive neurological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, and epilepsy. The beta-3 subunit forms heteropentamers with other GABAAR subunits, with alpha2-beta3-gamma2 and alpha3-beta3-gamma2 subtypes highly enriched in hippocampal pyramidal neurons and cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain, respectively. Other heteromers include alpha1-beta3-gamma2 and alpha5-beta3-gamma2. GABRB3 mutations are likely associated with a broad phenotypic spectrum of epilepsies and that reduced receptor function causing GABAergic disinhibition represents the relevant disease mechanism. GABRB3 might be associated with heroin dependence, and increased expression possibly contributing to the pathogenesis of heroin dependence. This gene may also be associated with the pathogenesis of other disorders such as Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, nonsyndromic orofacial clefts, schizophrenia, and autism.

gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit beta-like extracellular domain in protostomia, such as RDL (resistant to dieldrin); This family contains extracellular domain of beta-like subunits of type-A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR) found in protostomia, similar to Drosophila melanogaster resistant to dieldrin (RDL) subunits. Drosophila melanogaster expresses three GABA-receptor subunit orthologs: (RDL, resistant to dieldrin; GRD, GABA/glycine-like receptor of Drosophila; LCCH3, ligand-gated chloride channel homolog 3), and may possibly form homo- and/or heteropentameric associations. GABAARs are known to be the molecular targets of a class of insecticides. The resulting pentameric receptors in this family have been shown to be activated by insect GABA-receptor agonists muscimol and CACA, and blocked by antagonists fipronil, dieldrin, and picrotoxin, but not bicuculline. GABAARs are abundant in the CNS, where their physiological role is to mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission. In insects, this inhibitory transmission plays a crucial role in olfactory information processing. Bombyx mori includes three RDL (RD1, RD2, RD3), one LCCH3, and one GRD subunits. Its RDL1 gene has RNA-editing sites, and the RDL1 and RDL3 genes possess alternative splicing, enhancing the diversity of its GABA-receptor gene family. The three RDL subunits may have arisen from two duplication events. Pssm-ID: 349809 Cd Length: 184 Bit Score: 47.06 E-value: 4.51e-06

These subunits homo-oligomerize to form GABAA-rho receptors (formerly classified as GABA-rho or GABAC receptor), but do not co-assemble with any of the classical GABAA subunits. They are especially high expression in the retina and their distinctive pharmacological properties are unique; they are not modulated by many GABAA receptor modulators such as barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and neuroactive steroids. In humans, mutations in the GABRR1 and GABRR2 genes may be responsible for some cases of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. Variation in GABRR1 is also associated with susceptibility to bipolar schizoaffective disorder while a SNP in GABRR2 has been reported to show association with autism.
