GABAC receptors contain rho  subunits and mediate feedback inhibition from retinal amacrine cells to bipolar cells. We previously identified the cytoskeletal protein MAP1B as a rho 1 subunit anchoring protein. Here, we analyze the structural basis and functional significance of the MAP1B-rho 1 interaction. Twelve amino acids at the C terminus of the large intracellular loop of rho 1 (and also rho 2) are sufficient for interaction with MAP1B. Disruption of the MAP1B-rho interaction in bipolar cells in retinal slices decreased the EC50 of their GABAC receptors, doubling the receptors' current at low GABA concentrations without affecting their maximum current at high concentrations. Thus, anchoring to the cytoskeleton lowers the sensitivity of GABAC receptors and provides a likely site for functional modulation of GABAC receptor-mediated inhibition.

Key words: GABA; rho subunit; MAP1B; EC50; retina; bipolar; uptake
