The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab55051, 5μg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM.

Acute ethanol increases dendritic GABABRs in hippocampus.(a–c) Western blot analyses of GABABR1 and GABABR2 in isolated hippocampal synaptoneurosomes from ethanol-treated (ETOH; 2.5 g kg−1 i.p.), and vehicle-treated (Veh; saline i.p.) C57BL/6 male mice 30 min post injection. (a) Pseudocoloured representative western blots to show intensity with normalized optical density for each band indicated below blot (Lookup table, below western blot). No significant change was observed in b GABABR1, but a significant increase was found in c GABABR2 with ethanol treatment. Western blots were normalized to the loading control,α-Tubulin. GABABR1 : Veh=1.00±0.11; ETOH=1.19±0.08. Experiment was repeated five times. GABABR2 : Veh=1.00±0.07; ETOH=1.37±0.05. (d,e) Representative immunostaining images of GABABR1 and GABABR2 in cultured rat hippocampal dendrites normalized to microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2) as volume control.

GABABR1 and GABABR2 mRNAs are FMRP targets.(a,b) RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) for FMRP was performed using brains from wild type (WT) and Fmr1 KO male mice. (a) Gels showing RT–qPCR amplified product of input sample, FMRP RIP, and IgG control for GABABR1 and GABABR2. (b) Relative fold-enrichment as determined by real-time qPCR relative to input control (δδCt=2−(Ct FMRP RIP−Ct IgG RIP)−(Ct FMRP input−Ct IgG input)). FMRP binds GABABR1, GABABR2, and the positive control CaMKIIα mRNA as detected in the RIP sample by real-time qPCR. Cacnα2δ2 served as a negative control and was not detected above background. WT : GABABR1=2.66±0.248, n=2; GABABR2=2.19±0.08, n=2; CaMKII=3.72±0.94, n=2; Cacnα2δ2=0.11±0.6, n=2.

(c–g) Western blot analysis of hippocampal synaptoneurosomes isolated from C57BL/6 WT and Fmr1 KO mice on a C57BL/6 background indicates the absence of (e) FMRP and increased protein expression of (f) GABABR1 and (g) GABABR2.

Target data

Component of a heterodimeric G-protein coupled receptor for GABA, formed by GABBR1 and GABBR2 (PubMed : 15617512, PubMed : 18165688, PubMed : 22660477, PubMed : 24305054, PubMed : 36103875, PubMed : 9872316, PubMed : 9872744). Within the heterodimeric GABA receptor, only GABBR1 seems to bind agonists, while GABBR2 mediates coupling to G proteins (PubMed : 18165688). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase (PubMed : 10075644, PubMed : 10773016, PubMed : 10906333, PubMed : 24305054, PubMed : 9872744). Signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase, stimulates phospholipase A2, activates potassium channels, inactivates voltage-dependent calcium-channels and modulates inositol phospholipid hydrolysis (PubMed : 10075644). Calcium is required for high affinity binding to GABA (By similarity). Plays a critical role in the fine-tuning of inhibitory synaptic transmission (PubMed : 9844003). Pre-synaptic GABA receptor inhibits neurotransmitter release by down-regulating high-voltage activated calcium channels, whereas postsynaptic GABA receptor decreases neuronal excitability by activating a prominent inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) conductance that underlies the late inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (PubMed : 10075644, PubMed : 22660477, PubMed : 9844003, PubMed : 9872316, PubMed : 9872744). Not only implicated in synaptic inhibition but also in hippocampal long-term potentiation, slow wave sleep, muscle relaxation and antinociception (Probable). Activated by (-)-baclofen, cgp27492 and blocked by phaclofen (PubMed : 24305054, PubMed : 9844003, PubMed : 9872316).. Isoform 1E may regulate the formation of functional GABBR1/GABBR2 heterodimers by competing for GABBR2 binding. This could explain the observation that certain small molecule ligands exhibit differential affinity for central versus peripheral sites.
