A chemist and biologist talk to each other about caged neurotransmitters
- Graham C.R. Ellis-Davies
Beilstein J. Org. Chem. 2013, 9, 64–73, doi:10.3762/bjoc.9.8
- important new caged compounds were made in biology departments: (1) caged calcium [17] (molecular biology), (2) caged IP3 [5] (physiology) and carbamoylcholine [9] (biochemistry). The last of these new probes was the beginning of the development of caged neurotransmitters (e.g., glutamate, GABA, sertonin
- is thinking about using a caged transmitter in an experiment. I ask the chemist a series of simple questions about the caged compound(s); some of these questions, we discover, do not have simple answers. Glutamate is the most important neurotransmitter in the brain, as its release at nerve synapses
- transfers electrical signals between pre- and postsynaptic cells. Approximately 80% of such signaling is carried out by glutamate binding to AMPA receptors, the major post-synaptic excitatory ionotropic ion channels that bind glutamate. These receptors are blocked specifically by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl

- , azobenzene and glutamate derivative (MAG) was used as a photochromic agonist of an ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) (Figure 5a) [89][90][91]. The chromophore consists of a terminal maleimide unit, which is associated covalently to the protein via a cysteine residue, a central azobenzene unit and a
- glutamate head. Only the cis form of the azobenzene allows the approach of the fragment and the interaction of glutamate with the active site of the protein. When this interaction occurs, the protein folds as a clamshell, triggering the opening of the ion channel (Figure 5b). Another recent example was

- present in aspartates weakened their interaction with sensor 1, presumably due to non-bonding repulsions. In contrast, in comparison with the association constant between sensor 1 and glutarate, sensor 1 exhibited a stronger binding affinity to D- and L-glutamate (Table 2). Interestingly, a marginal
- enantioselectivity toward the antipodal forms of aminoacids demonstrated by sensor 1 is evident. We were aware that sensor 1 can only exhibit two-point interaction with aspartate and glutamate via the thiourea–carboxylate type of binding motif.

- partially charged in biological systems.

The aminopyridine ring nitrogen must be

The methyl group at the 4 position on the aminopyridine ring contributes to binding through an interaction with a hydrophobic pocket in the nNOS active site. The R
- the glutamate. We had hoped that the high acidity of the active site would protonate the aminothiazole so that it would interact well with the glutamate residue. This may not be the case. An alternative explanation for the loss of potency is that the 2-aminothiazole ring is much smaller than 2-amino-4
