Bridges between Antimalarials and Synaptic Transmission

Neuron
Jeong Joo Kim, Ryan E Hibbs

Abstract

Gephyrin-mediated clustering of GABAA and glycine receptors underlies fast inhibitory signaling at central synapses. In this issue of Neuron, Kasaragod et al. (2019) demonstrate that artemisinin antimalarial drugs bind to gephyrin at the same site where the receptor interaction occurs.
