ACCELERATED COMMUNICATION
The N-Terminal Domain of gamma -Aminobutyric AcidB Receptors Is Sufficient to Specify Agonist and Antagonist Binding

Novartis Pharma AG, Nervous System Research, Basel, Switzerland (B.M., C.S., M.K., J.H., W.F., J.M., R.K., K.K., B.B.); Bristol University, Department of Anatomy, Medical School, Bristol, United Kingdom (M.K., J.H.); and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Mécanismes Moléculaires des Communications Cellulaires, Montpellier, France (C.J., J.-P.P.)

The recently identified gamma -aminobutyric acid type B receptors (GABABRs) share low sequence similarity with the metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors. Like the mGlu receptors, the N-terminal extracellular domain (NTED) of GABABRs is proposed to be related to bacterial periplasmic binding proteins (PBPs). However, in contrast to the mGlu receptors, the GABABRs lack a cysteine-rich region that links the PBP-like domain to the first transmembrane domain. This cysteine-rich region is necessary for the PBP-like domain of mGlu receptors to bind glutamate. To delimit the ligand-binding domain of GABABRs, we constructed a series of chimeric GABABR1/mGluR1 and truncated GABABR1 receptor mutants. We provide evidence that despite the lack of a cysteine-rich region, the NTED of GABABRs contains all of the structural information that is necessary and sufficient for ligand binding. Moreover, a soluble protein corresponding to the NTED of GABABRs reproduces the binding pharmacology of wild-type receptors. This demonstrates that the ligand-binding domain of the GABABRs can correctly fold when dissociated from the transmembrane domains.
