Indirect phosphorylation-dependent modulation of postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine responses by 5-hydroxytryptamine.

Ionotropic nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors have been shown to be modulated by protein kinase-mediated phosphorylation in vitro. Here we demonstrate that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) can downregulate postsynaptic nicotinic ACh responses, elicited in an identified arthropod motoneuron in situ, b...

description Ionotropic nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors have been shown to be modulated by protein kinase-mediated phosphorylation in vitro. Here we demonstrate that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) can downregulate postsynaptic nicotinic ACh responses, elicited in an identified arthropod motoneuron in situ, by a mechanism dependent on protein kinase activity. Serotonergic modulation can be mimicked by perfusion with membrane-permeable analogues of either adenine (cAMP) or guanine (cGMP) cyclic nucleotides, and is prolonged in the presence of phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Furthermore, suppression of the ACh response by 5-HT is blocked by specific competitive inhibitors of protein kinase A and G, as well as the broad specificity protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine. The protein phosphatase inhibitor cantharidin similarly blocks recovery of the ACh response from suppression mediated by 5-HT. Thus, it appears that the nicotinic ACh response is modulated by a cAMP-mediated phosphorylation-dependent intracellular signalling pathway that is distinct from the direct block of mammalian nicotinic ACh receptors by 5-HT previously reported in vitro.
