Zinc inhibits NMDA receptor function through both
voltage-dependent and voltage-independent mechanisms. In this report we have investigated the role that the NR1 subunit plays in
voltage-independent Zn2+ inhibition. Our data show
that inclusion of exon 5 into the NR1 subunit increases the
IC50 for voltage-independent Zn2+
inhibition from 3-fold to 10-fold when full length exon 22 is also
spliced into the mature NR1 transcript and the NMDA receptor complex
contains the NR2A or NR2B subunits; exon 5 has little effect on
Zn2+ inhibition of receptors that contain NR2C and
NR2D. Mutagenesis within exon 5 indicates that the same residues that
control proton inhibition, including Lys211,
also control the effects of exon 5 on Zn2+
inhibition. Amino acid exchanges within the NR1 subunit but outside exon 5 (E181Q, E339Q, E342Q, N616R, N616Q, D669N, D669E, C744A, and
C798A) that are known to decrease the pH sensitivity also decrease the
Zn2+ sensitivity, and concentrations of spermine
that relieve tonic proton inhibition also relieve
Zn2+ inhibition. In summary, our results define the
subunit composition of Zn2+-sensitive NMDA receptors
and provide evidence for structural convergence of three allosteric
regulators of receptor function: protons, polyamines, and
Zn2+.
