Abstract

Glutamate-gated ion channels participate in excitatory synaptic transmission in the nervous system as well as nonsynaptic communication between cells. The glutamate-gated ion channel family includes 18 gene products that form tetrameric transmembrane protein complexes. Glutamate-gated receptors are composed of multiple semiautonomous domains that share structural features with periplasmic amino acid-binding proteins and potassium channels. Each glutamate receptor contains both ligand recognition sites and an ion-permeable channel that spans the membrane. Specific components of the protein complex couple the conformational changes that result from agonist binding into opening of the permeation pore.
