1. An inward current (I[in]) was produced by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and muscimol, but not by baclofen, in an identifiable giant neuron type, v-LCDN (ventral-left cerebral distinct neuron), of an African giant snail (Achatina fulica Ferussac) under voltage clamp. 2. The pharmacological features of the excitatory GABA receptors in this Achatina neuron type, termed the Achatina muscimol II type GABA receptors, were mainly comparable to those of the mammalian GABA(C) receptors. 3. It was demonstrated in the present study that the following inhibitors for intracellular signal transduction systems showed no significant effect on the I(in) produced by GABA in this Achatina neuron type: H-7 [1-(5-isoquinolinyl sulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine], an inhibitor of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and protein kinase C (PKC); H-8 (N-[2-(methylamino)-ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide), a PKA and PKG inhibitor; H-9 [N-(2-aminoethyl)-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide], a PKA inhibitor; staurosporine ((9alpha,10beta,11beta,13alpha)-(+)-2,3,10,11,12 ,13-hexahydro-10-methoxy-9-methyl-11-(methylamino)-9,13-epoxy-1H,9H-d iindolo[1,2,3-gh: 3',2',1'-1m]pyrrolo[3,4-j] [1,7]benzodiazonin-1-one), a PKA and PKC inhibitor; KT5823 ((8R,9S, 11S)-9-methoxy-9-methoxycarbonyl-2N,8-dimethyl-2,3,9,10-tetrahydro-8,11- epoxy-1H,8H,11H-2,7b,11a-triazadibenzo[a,g]cycloocta[c,d,e]- trinden-1-one), a PKG inhibitor; W-7 [N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide], a calmodulin inhibitor; ML-9 [1-(5-chloronaphthalene-1-sulfonyl-1H-hexahydro-1,4-diazepine hydrochloride], a myosin light-chain kinase inhibitor; genistein [5,7-dihydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one], a tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor; IBMX (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine), a cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor; fluphenazine nitrogen-mustard (2-chloroethyl)-4[3-(2-trifluoromethyl-10-phenothiazinyl)-propyl]p iperazine dihydrochloride), a calmodulin-dependent PDE inhibitor; calyculin A, a type 1 protein phosphatase inhibitor; and okadaic acid (9,10-deepithio-9,10-didehydroacanthifolicin), a type 1, 2A and 2B protein phosphatase inhibitor. 4. With these results, it was proposed that the excitatory Achatina muscimol II type GABA receptors in v-LCDN are not metabotropic but ionotropic.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. While a growing body of literature indicates that postsynaptic GABA receptors are regulated by phosphorylation, there is discrepancy as to the specific effects of phosphorylation on GABA receptor function. Here, we have identified phosphorylation sites on the human rho1 GABA receptor for six protein kinases widely expressed in the brain: protein kinase C (PKC); cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA); calmodulin-dependent kinase (CaMKII); casein kinase (CKII); mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK); and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). We demonstrate that in nearly all cases, the consensus sites and actual phosphorylation sites do not agree supporting the risk of relying on a sequence analysis to identify potential phosphorylation sites. In addition, of the six kinases examined, only CKII phosphorylated the human rho2 subunit. Site-directed mutagenesis of the phosphorylation sites, or activation/inhibition of select kinase pathways, did not alter the receptor sensitivity or maximal GABA-activated current of the rho1 GABA receptor expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes suggesting phosphorylation of rho1 does not directly alter receptor properties. This study is a first and necessary step towards elucidating the regulation of rho1 GABA receptors by phosphorylation.
