ReviewRegulation of mglu7 receptors by proteins that interact with the intracellular C-terminus
Section snippets
Functional roles of mglu7 receptors
Over recent years, an increasing number of proteins have been identified that interact with the C-termini of mglu receptors. There is now considerable evidence to suggest that the synaptic distributions and functional properties of mglu receptors can be regulated via these interactions. An overview of the C-terminal domains of mglu receptor splice variants, and the importance of both C-terminus splice variation and putative PDZ-binding motifs in specifying proteins that interact with mglu
Interaction domains on the C-terminus of the mglu7 receptor
Several recent studies have shown that several proteins can interact with the C-terminus of mglu7 receptors. On the basis of the nature of these interacting proteins, the C-terminus can be divided into three domains (Fig. 1).
Concluding remarks
The regulation of glutamate receptors at synaptic membranes is a dynamic process that is dependent on a complex series of protein–protein interactions. Three regions of the C-terminus of mglu7 receptors have been designated as interacting with different sets of proteins (Fig. 1): (1) the proximal region that is potentially involved in intracellular signalling mechanisms; (2) the central region that is potentially involved in axonal–dendritic targeting; and (3) the distal amino acid residues

The PDZ ligand on mGluR7 directly interacts with PICK1 (Boudin et al., 2000; Dev et al., 2000, 2001; El Far et al., 2000; Enz and Croci, 2003; Fagni et al., 2004; Hirbec et al., 2002; Perroy et al., 2002). Furthermore, PICK1 binds to PKCα (Staudinger et al., 1997, 1995) and modulates the phosphorylation of mGluR7 (Dev et al., 2000, 2001).
