| Abstract | 1. Whole-cell currents were recorded from Xenopus laevis oocytes and human embryonic kidney cells expressing GABA(A) receptor beta3 subunit homomers to search for additional residues affecting Zn(2+) inhibition. These residues would complement the previously identified histidine (H267), present just within the external portal of the ion channel, which modulates Zn(2+) inhibition. 2. Zinc inhibited the pentobarbitone-gated current on beta3(H267A) homomers at pH 7.4, but this effect was abolished at pH 5.4. The Zn(2+)-sensitive spontaneous beta3 subunit-mediated conductance was also insensitive to block by Zn(2+) at pH 5.4. 3. Changing external pH enabled the titration of the Zn(2+) sensitive binding site or signal transduction domain. The pK(a) was estimated at 6.8 +/- 0.03 implying the involvement of histidine residues. 4. External histidine residues in the beta3 receptor subunit were substituted with alanine, in addition to the background mutation, H267A, to assess their sensitivity to Zn(2+) inhibition. The Zn(2+) IC(50) was unaffected by either the H119A or H191A mutations. 5. The remaining histidine, H107, the only other candidate likely to participate in Zn(2+) inhibition, was substituted with various residues. Most mutants were expressed at the cell surface but they disrupted functional expression of beta3 homomers. However, H107G was functional and demonstrated a marked reduction in sensitivity to Zn(2+). 6. GABA(A) receptor beta3 subunits form functional ion channels that can be inhibited by Zn(2+). Two histidine residues are largely responsible for this effect, H267 in the pore lining region and H107 residing in the extracellular N-terminal domain. |

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.
