Binding sites for exogenous and endogenous non-competitive inhibitors of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
Biochim Biophys Acta. 1998 Aug 21;1376(2):173-220., [PMID:9748559]
Abstract [show]
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is the paradigm of the neurotransmitter-gated ion channel superfamily. The pharmacological behavior of the AChR can be described as three basic processes that progress sequentially. First, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) binds the receptor. Next, the intrinsically coupled ion channel opens upon ACh binding with subsequent ion flux activity. Finally, the AChR becomes desensitized, a process where the ion channel becomes closed in the prolonged presence of ACh. The existing equilibrium among these physiologically relevant processes can be perturbed by the pharmacological action of different drugs. In particular, non-competitive inhibitors (NCIs) inhibit the ion flux and enhance the desensitization rate of the AChR. The action of NCIs was studied using several drugs of exogenous origin. These include compounds such as chlorpromazine (CPZ), triphenylmethylphosphonium (TPMP+), the local anesthetics QX-222 and meproadifen, trifluoromethyl-iodophenyldiazirine (TID), phencyclidine (PCP), histrionicotoxin (HTX), quinacrine, and ethidium. In order to understand the mechanism by which NCIs exert their pharmacological properties several laboratories have studied the structural characteristics of their binding sites, including their respective locations on the receptor. One of the main objectives of this review is to discuss all available experimental evidence regarding the specific localization of the binding sites for exogenous NCIs. For example, it is known that the so-called luminal NCIs bind to a series of ring-forming amino acids in the ion channel. Particularly CPZ, TPMP+, QX-222, cembranoids, and PCP bind to the serine, the threonine, and the leucine ring, whereas TID and meproadifen bind to the valine and extracellular rings, respectively. On the other hand, quinacrine and ethidium, termed non-luminal NCIs, bind to sites outside the channel lumen. Specifically, quinacrine binds to a non-annular lipid domain located approximately 7 A from the lipid-water interface and ethidium binds to the vestibule of the AChR in a site located approximately 46 A away from the membrane surface and equidistant from both ACh binding sites. The non-annular lipid domain has been suggested to be located at the intermolecular interfaces of the five AChR subunits and/or at the interstices of the four (M1-M4) transmembrane domains. One of the most important concepts in neurochemistry is that receptor proteins can be modulated by endogenous substances other than their specific agonists. Among membrane-embedded receptors, the AChR is one of the best examples of this behavior. In this regard, the AChR is non-competitively modulated by diverse molecules such as lipids (fatty acids and steroids), the neuropeptide substance P, and the neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). It is important to take into account that the above mentioned modulation is produced through a direct binding of these endogenous molecules to the AChR. Since this is a physiologically relevant issue, it is useful to elucidate the structural components of the binding site for each endogenous NCI. In this regard, another important aim of this work is to review all available information related to the specific localization of the binding sites for endogenous NCIs. For example, it is known that both neurotransmitters substance P and 5-HT bind to the lumen of the ion channel. Particularly, the locus for substance P is found in the deltaM2 domain, whereas the binding site for 5-HT and related compounds is putatively located on both the serine and the threonine ring. Instead, fatty acid and steroid molecules bind to non-luminal sites. More specifically, fatty acids may bind to the belt surrounding the intramembranous perimeter of the AChR, namely the annular lipid domain, and/or to the high-affinity quinacrine site which is located at a non-annular lipid domain. Additionally, steroids may bind to a site located on the extracellular hydrophi

1363 The importance of the serine ring in regards to NCI binding is also based on the fact that mutations distant from this locus (e.g., Cys418 to Trp at KM4) have shown no alteration in PCP and tetracaine noncompetitive inhibition properties [144].

Role of local anesthetics on both cholinergic and serotonergic ionotropic receptors.

Abstract [show]
A great body of experimental evidence indicates that the main target for the pharmacological action of local anesthetics (LAs) is the voltage-gated Na+ channel. However, the epidural and spinal anesthesia as well as the behavioral effects of LAs cannot be explained exclusively by its inhibitory effect on the voltage-gated Na+ channel. Thus, the involvement of other ion channel receptors has been suggested. Particularly, two members of the neurotransmitter-gated ion channel receptor superfamily, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor (5-HT3R type). In this regard, the aim of this review is to explain and delineate the mechanism by which LAs inhibit both ionotropic receptors from peripheral and central nervous systems. Local anesthetics inhibit the ion channel activity of both muscle- and neuronal-type AChRs in a noncompetitive fashion. Additionally, LAs inhibit the 5-HT3R by competing with the serotonergic agonist binding sites. The noncompetitive inhibitory action of LAs on the AChR is ascribed to two possible blocking mechanisms. An open-channel-blocking mechanism where the drug binds to the open channel and/or an allosteric mechanism where LAs bind to closed channels. The open-channel-blocking mechanism is in accord with the existence of high-affinity LA binding sites located in the ion channel. The allosteric mechanism seems to be physiologically more relevant than the open-channel-blocking mechanism. The inhibitory property of LAs is also elicited by binding to several low-affinity sites positioned at the lipid-AChR interface. However, there is no clearcut evidence indicating whether these sites are located at either the annular or the nonannular lipid domain. Both tertiary (protonated) and quaternary LAs gain the interior of the channel through the hydrophilic pathway formed by the extracellular ion channel's mouth with the concomitant ion flux blockade. Nevertheless, an alternative mode of action is proposed for both deprotonated tertiary and permanently-uncharged LAs: they may pass from the lipid membrane core to the lumen of the ion channel through a hydrophobic pathway. Perhaps this hydrophobic pathway is structurally related to the nonannular lipid domain. Regarding the LA binding site location on the 5-HT3R, at least two amino acids have been involved. Glutamic acid at position 106 which is located in a residue sequence homologous to loop A from the principal component of the binding site for cholinergic agonists and competitive antagonists, and Trp67 which is positioned in a stretch of amino acids homologous to loop F from the complementary component of the cholinergic ligand binding site.

436 The fact that mutations other than at this locus, for instance Cys418 to Trp at the aM4, have shown no alteration in tetracaine noncompetitive inhibition properties [119] supports the above mentioned location.
