RESUMO

AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Dysregulation of AMPAR function is associated with many kinds of neurological, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric disorders. As a result, molecules capable of controlling AMPAR functions are potential therapeutic agents. Fluorescent semisynthetic biosensors have attracted considerable interest for the discovery of ligands selectively acting on target proteins. Given the large protein complex formation of AMPARs in live cells, biosensors using full-length AMPARs retaining original functionality are ideal for drug screening. Here, we demonstrate that fluorophore-labeled AMPARs prepared by ligand-directed acyl imidazole chemistry can act as turn-on fluorescent biosensors for AMPAR ligands in living cells. These biosensors selectively detect orthosteric ligands of AMPARs among the glutamate receptor family. Notably, the dissociation constants of agonists and antagonists for AMPARs were determined in live cells, which revealed that the ligand-binding properties of AMPARs to agonists are largely different in living cells, compared with noncellular conditions. We also show that these sensors can be applied to detecting allosteric modulators or subunit-selective ligands of AMPARs. Thus, our protein-based biosensors can be useful for discovering pharmaceutical agents to treat AMPAR-related neurological disorders.
