RESUMO
We have characterized a G-protein-coupled glutamate receptor in primary cultures of striatal neurons. Glutamate, quisqualate, or trans-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate inhibited by 30-40% either forskolin-stimulated cAMP production in intact cells or forskolin plus vasoactive intestinal peptide-activated adenylyl cyclase assayed in neuronal membrane preparations. These inhibitory effects were suppressed after treatment of striatal neurons with Bordetella pertussis toxin, suggesting the involvement of a heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) of the G(i)/G(o) subtype. The pharmacological profile of this glutamate receptor negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase was different from that of the metabotropic Qp glutamate receptor coupled to phospholipase C in striatal neurons and from that of the recently cloned "mGluR2" glutamate receptor, which is negatively coupled to adenylyl cyclase when expressed in non-neuronal cells.
