The desensitization pathway of GABAA receptors, one subunit at a time

GABAA receptors mediate most inhibitory synaptic transmission in the brain. Here authors used concatemeric α1β2γ2 GABAA receptors to introduce gain-of-desensitization mutations one subunit at a time, revealing non-concerted rearrangements with a key contribution of the γ2 subunit during desensitizat...
