Abstract excerpt
Presynaptic inhibition via G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels constitutes a widespread regulatory mechanism of synaptic strength. Yet, the mechanism of intermolecular coupling underlying GPCR-mediated signaling at central synapses remains unresolved. Using FRET spectroscopy, we provide evidence for formation of spatially restricted (<100 Å) complexes between GABA(B) receptors...
