| Abstract | Metabotropic GABAB receptors are abundantly expressed at glutamatergic synapses where they control excitability of the synapse. Here, we tested the hypothesis that glutamatergic neurotransmission may regulate GABAB receptors. We found that application of glutamate to cultured cortical neurons led to rapid down-regulation of GABAB receptors via lysosomal degradation. This effect was mimicked by selective activation of AMPA receptors and further accelerated by coactivation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. Inhibition of NMDA receptors, blockade of L-type Ca2+ channels, and removal of extracellular Ca2+ prevented glutamate-induced down-regulation of GABAB receptors, indicating that Ca2+ influx plays a critical role. We further established that glutamate-induced down-regulation depends on the internalization of GABAB receptors. Glutamate did not affect the rate of GABAB receptor endocytosis but led to reduced recycling of the receptors back to the plasma membrane. Blockade of lysosomal activity rescued receptor recycling, indicating that glutamate redirects GABAB receptors from the recycling to the degradation pathway. In conclusion, the data indicate that sustained activation of AMPA receptors down-regulates GABAB receptors by sorting endocytosed GABAB receptors preferentially to lysosomes for degradation on the expense of recycling. This mechanism may relieve glutamatergic synapses from GABAB receptor-mediated inhibition resulting in increased synaptic excitability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
