Using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique, we have determined that propofol, but not midazolam, increases the efficacy of piperidine-4-sulphonic acid (P4S), a partial agonist at alpha1beta1gamma2s, GABA(A) receptors expressed in HEK 293 cells. These findings are consistent with the idea that

Volatile anesthetics prolong inhibitory postsynaptic potentials in central neurons an allosteric action on the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor, an effect that may underlie the hypnotic actions of these agents. Inhaled anesthetics such as isoflurane act to enhance responses

Based on our molecular modeling investigations of the glycinergic receptor, we expanded our studies to similarly investigate the GABAergic receptor. New data suggest there may exist a slightly different agonistic mechanism for the molecules described herein as compared to glycine.

GABA(A) receptors (GABA(A)Rs) composed of αβγ subunits are allosterically modulated by the benzodiazepines (BDZs). Agonists at the BDZ binding site potentiate submaximal GABA responses by increasing the apparent affinity of GABA(A)Rs for GABA. Although BDZs were initially thought to affect

The Journal of physiology, 575(Pt 1), 11-22 (2006-06-10)
The binding of the neurotransmitter GABA induces conformational changes in the GABAA receptor (GABAAR), leading to the opening of a gate that controls ion permeation through an integral transmembrane pore. A number of structural elements within each subunit, located near
