Title:Kainate receptor modulation by NETO2
View PDFAbstract:Glutamate-gated kainate receptors (KARs) are ubiquitous in the central nervous system of vertebrates, mediate synaptic transmission on post-synapse, and modulate transmitter release on pre-synapse. In the brain, the trafficking, gating kinetics, and pharmacology of KARs are tightly regulated by Neuropilin and tolloid-like proteins (Netos). Here we report cryo-EM structures of homo-tetrameric GluK2 in complex with Neto2 at inhibited and desensitized states, illustrating variable stoichiometry of GluK2-Neto2 complexes, with one or two Neto2 subunits associate with the GluK2. We find that Neto2 accesses only two broad faces of KARs, intermolecularly crosslinking the lower-lobe of ATDA/C, upper-lobe of LBDB/D, and lower-lobe of LBDA/C, illustrating how Neto2 regulates receptor-gating kinetics. The transmembrane helix of Neto2 is positioned proximal to the selectivity filter and competes with the amphiphilic H1-helix after M4 for interacting with an ICD formed by the M1-M2 linkers of the receptor, revealing how rectification is regulated by Neto2.
