Mediated by glycine. Plays a key role in synaptic plasticity, synaptogenesis, excitotoxicity, memory acquisition and learning. It mediates neuronal functions in glutamate neurotransmission. Is involved in the cell surface targeting of NMDA receptors. Publication Abstract from PubMed Competitive antagonists against N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have played critical roles throughout the history of neuropharmacology and basic neuroscience. There are currently numerous NMDA receptor antagonists containing a variety of chemical groups. Among those compounds, a GluN2-specific antagonist, (R)-[(S)-1-(4-bromo-phenyl)-ethylamino]-(2,3-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxalin-5 -yl)-methyl]-phosphonic acid (NVP-AAM077), contains a unique combination of a dioxoquinoxalinyl ring, a bromophenyl group, and a phosphono group. Here, we present the crystal structure of the isolated ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the GluN1-GluN2A NMDA receptor in complex with the GluN1 agonist glycine and the GluN2A antagonist NVP-AAM077. The structure shows placement of the dioxoquinoxalinyl ring and the phosphono group of NVP-AAM077 in the glutamate binding pocket in GluN2A and the novel interaction between the bromophenyl group and GluN1-Glu781 at the GluN1-GluN2A subunit interface. Site-directed mutagenesis of GluN1-Glu781 reduced the potency of inhibition by NVP-AAM077, thus confirming the involvement of the GluN1 subunit for binding of NVP-AAM077. The unique antagonist binding pattern shown in this study provides a novel dimension to design and create antagonists with potential therapeutic values.
