Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1 and 5)
couple to intracellular calcium pools by a family of proteins, termed Homer, that cross-link the receptor to inositol trisphosphate receptors. mGluRs also couple to membrane ion channels via G-proteins. The role of Homer proteins in channel modulation was investigated by
expressing mGluRs and various forms of Homer in rat superior cervical
ganglion (SCG) sympathetic neurons by intranuclear cDNA injection.
Expression of cross-linking-capable forms of Homer (Homer 1b, 1c, 2, and 3, termed long forms) occluded group I mGluR-mediated N-type
calcium and M-type potassium current modulation. This effect was
specific for group I mGluRs. mGluR2 (group II)-mediated inhibition of
N-channels was unaltered. Long forms of Homer decreased modulation of
N- and M-type currents but did not selectively block distinct G-protein
pathways. Short forms of Homer, which cannot self-multimerize (Homer 1a
and a Homer 2 C-terminal deletion), did not alter mGluR-ion channel
coupling. When coexpressed with long forms of Homer, short forms
restored the mGluR1a-mediated calcium current modulation in an apparent
dose-dependent manner. Homer 2b induced cell surface clusters of mGluR5
in SCG neurons. Conversely, a uniform distribution was observed when
mGluR5 was expressed alone or with Homer short forms. These studies
indicate that long and short forms of Homer compete for binding to
mGluRs and regulate their coupling to ion channels. In
vivo, the immediate early Homer 1a is anticipated to enhance
ion channel modulation and to disrupt coupling to releasable intracellular calcium pools. Thus, Homer may regulate the magnitude and
predominate signaling output of group I mGluRs.
