2 and
subtypes confer unique kinetic properties on recombinant GABAA receptor currents in mouse fibroblasts
To determine their contributions to the rapid kinetic properties of GABAA receptor (GABAR) currents,
1 and
3 subunit subtypes without or with
or
2L subtypes were transiently coexpressed in mouse L929 fibroblasts to produce
1
3,
1
3
, or
1
3
2L GABAR isoforms.
Brief (2-3 ms) applications of 1 mM GABA to outside-out membrane patches containing
1
3,
1
3
, or
1
3
2L isoforms elicited currents that activated rapidly with monophasic time courses and deactivated rapidly with biphasic time courses.
1
3
2L currents exhibited a slower mean deactivation rate (76·1 ms) than
1
3 (34·1 ms) or
1
3
currents (42·8 ms).
During 1 mM GABA applications,
1
3
2L currents activated more rapidly (0·46 ms) than
1
3 currents (1·7 ms) or
1
3
currents (2·4 ms). During 4000 ms GABA applications,
1
3 and
1
3
2L currents desensitized with triphasic time courses to similar extents (
1
3, 94·6 %;
1
3
2L, 92·4 %) and with similar mean rates (
1
3, 352 ms;
1
3
2L, 462 ms). In contrast,
1
3
currents desensitized only 55·6 % with a biphasic time course and slower mean rate (1260 ms).
These experiments demonstrated that the
1
3 heterodimer formed a GABAR channel with rapid deactivation and rapid and nearly complete desensitization. Addition of the
subunit did not alter the activation rate, but produced a receptor with slower and less complete desensitization. Addition of the
2L subtype increased activation rate, prolonged deactivation and changed the pattern of rapid desensitization.
Rapid kinetic and steady-state single-channel data were used to construct kinetic models that predicted the behaviour of the
1
3
2L and
1
3
currents. These models represent a reconciliation of macroscopic and steady-state single-channel data for GABARs and provide a framework for systematically assessing the functional significance of different GABAR isoforms.
