1 Systematic mutation of extracellular histidine residues in the GlyR alpha1 subunit revealed that mutations H107A or H109A completely abolished inhibition of glycine-gated currents by Zn2+. Zinc glycine receptor alpha 1 Homo sapiens
2 Thus, H107 and H109 in the extracellular domain of the human GlyR alpha1 subunit are major determinants of the inhibitory Zn2+ binding site. Zinc glycine receptor alpha 1 Homo sapiens
3 An examination of Zn2+ co-ordination in metalloenzymes revealed that the histidine- hydrophobic residue-histidine motif found to be responsible for binding Zn2+ in the human GlyR alpha1 subunit is also shared by some of these enzymes. Zinc glycine receptor alpha 1 Homo sapiens
4 An examination of Zn2+ co-ordination in metalloenzymes revealed that the histidine- hydrophobic residue-histidine motif found to be responsible for binding Zn2+ in the human GlyR alpha1 subunit is also shared by some of these enzymes. Zinc glycine receptor alpha 1 Homo sapiens
5 Further comparison of the structure and location of this motif with a generic model of the GlyR alpha1 subunit suggests that H107 and H109 participate in the formation of the inhibitory Zn2+ binding site at the apex of a beta sheet in the N-terminal extracellular domain. Zinc glycine receptor alpha 1 Homo sapiens
