Abstract excerpt
1. The effect on polyamine block of mutations at the Q/R site and the conserved negative charge +4 site in AMPA and kainate receptors was studied using the rat glutamate receptor GluR6 expressed in Xenopus oocytes and human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells. 2. Introduction of negative charge at the Q/R site increased the equilibrium dissociation constant at 0 mV (Kd(0)) for spermine from 1.3 to 4.0 microM (Q590E);...
