Abstract

This study reports an ionotropic GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptor in projection neurons acutely dissociated from the olfactory lobe of the brain of the spiny lobster and analyzed by whole cell and cell-free patch-clamp recording. GABA evokes a macroscopic current in the cells that is linear from -100 to + 100 mV, reverses at the imposed chloride equilibrium potential, has a permeability sequence of Cl- > acetate > bicarbonate > phosphate > propionate and SCN- > Br- > I- > Cl- > F-, and is reversibly blocked by the Cl channel blocker picrotoxin but not tert-butylbicyclophosphorothionate (TBPS). The current is bicuculline insensitive and activated by muscimol, isoguvacine, cis-4-aminocrotonic acid (CACA), and trans-aminocrotonic acid (TACA), as well as by the GABA(C)-receptor antagonists 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo [5,4,-c]pyridin-3-ol (THIP), 3-amino-1-propanesulfonic acid (3-APS), and imidazole-4-acetic acid (I-4AA), but not the GABA(B)-receptor agonists baclofen and 3-aminopropylphosphonic acid (3-APA). Agonist potency for the receptor is TACA > muscimol > GABA > I-4AA > isoguvacine > 3-APS > CACA > THIP. Unitary chloride currents in cell-free, outside-out patches from the cells share enough of these pharmacological pro...Continue Reading
