How can you use “mglur” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The latter hypothesis predicts a reduction in mGluR cell surface expression or perhaps a change in surface distribution in the presence of Siah1a, such as occurs in the presence of Homer proteins [ 24 44 45 ] . To test whether Siah1a expression altered the surface expression of group I mGluRs, the surface distribution of mGluR5a-myc was examined in the absence and presence of Siah1a.
The data imply two possible mechanisms for the effect of Siah1a on mGluR signaling: First, CaM association with group I mGluRs increases G protein coupling (or perhaps is required, as may be the case with group III mGluRs).
Coexpression of GFP-Siah1a-CT caused a significant reduction in the magnitude of calcium current modulation via mGluR5a (figure 4C,D).
Siah1a has been shown to be a member of the ubiquitin family of proteins involved in protein degradation through the proteasome [ 30 31 33 ] . Therefore, group I mGluR degradation was considered a potential mechanism for the decrease in mGluR-mediated calcium current modulation observed in SCG neurons.
In addition, the data presented here do not rule out the possibility that Siah may target group I mGluRs to the proteasome should they become damaged, misfolded or should other conditions in the cell warrant mGluR proteolysis.
