Studies using subunit-null mutant mice have shown that alpha6- or beta3-dependent nAChRs bind alpha-conotoxin MII (alpha-CtxMII) with high affinity and modulate striatal dopamine release. This study explores the effects of beta3 subunit-null mutation on striatal and midbrain nAChR expression, composition, and pharmacology. Ligand binding and immunoprecipitation experiments using subunit-specific antibodies indicated that beta3-null mutation selectively reduced striatal alpha6* nAChR expression by 76% versus beta3(+/+) control. Parallel experiments showed a smaller reduction in both midbrain alpha3* and alpha6* nAChRs (34 and 42% versus beta3(+/+) control, respectively). Sedimentation coefficient determinations indicated that residual alpha6* nAChRs in beta3(-/-) striatum were pentameric, like their wild-type counterparts. Immunoprecipitation experiments on immunopurified beta3* nAChRs demonstrated that almost all wild-type striatal beta3* nAChRs also contain alpha4, alpha6, and beta2 subunits, although a small population of non-beta3 alpha6* nAChRs is also expressed. beta3 subunit incorporation seemed to increase alpha4 participation in alpha6beta2* complexes. (125)I-Epibatidine competition binding studies showed that the alpha-CtxMII affinity of alpha6* nAChRs from the striata of beta3(-/-) mice was similar to those isolated from beta3(+/+) animals. Together, the results of these experiments show that the beta3 subunit is important for the correct assembly, stability and/or transport of alpha6* nAChRs in dopaminergic neurons and influences their subunit composition. However, beta3 subunit expression is not essential for the expression of alpha6*, high-affinity alpha-CtxMII binding nAChRs."xsd:string |
