Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
The glycine co-agonist binding site of the NMDA receptor is a target for the prevention and treatment of neurotoxic and neurodegenerative conditions. Until now, the interactions taking place at this site, and its structure, have been investigated by ligand structure-activity relationships and by site-directed mutagenesis. On the basis of a structural model which is currently proposed for this site, we have designed and synthesized six affinity markers by substituting electrophilic reactive groups in the 4, the 7 and the 3' positions of L 701,324, a high-affinity glycine site antagonist. These compounds compete with 3H-DCKA binding to rat brain membranes at equilibrium with nanomolar to low-micromolar affinities, and antagonize glycine-evoked currents in oocytes transfected with wild-type NR1-NR2B. However, they do not induce a time-shift in binding equilibria, and do not inactivate irreversibly the glycine evoked currents. Since they react only with cysteine at physiological pH, we conclude that there is no such residue in the site, in agreement with the model. Our affinity markers therefore represent potential topological probes for NMDA receptors with sequence positions related to the glycine-binding site mutated into cysteine.
