چکیده انگلیسی
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is the rate-limiting enzyme for γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) biosynthesis. Previously, we reported the presence of truncated forms of GAD in vivo and in vitro. In addition, an unidentified endogenous protease responsible for proteolytic cleavage of full-length GAD (fGAD) to its truncated form (tGAD) was also observed. In this communication, we report that μ-calpain is a good candidate for conversion of fGAD67 to tGAD67. This conclusion is based on the following observations: 1. purified recombinant GAD67 is cleaved by μ-calpain at specific sites; 2. in brain synaptosomal preparation, GAD67 is cleaved to its truncated form by an endogenous protease which is inhibited by specific calpain inhibitors; 3. in μ-calpain knockout mice, the level of tGAD in the brain is greatly reduced compared with the wild type; 4. when μ-calpain gene is silenced by siRNA, the level of tGAD is also markedly reduced compared to the control group; and 5. μ-calpain is activated by neuronal stimulation and Ca2+-influx. The physiological significance of calpain in regulation of GABA synthesis and GABAergic neurotransmission is also discussed.
