    Notes: Abstract— High affinity uptake systems for GABA into slices of cerebral cortex and for glycine into slices of spinal cord have been demonstrated in rats of 1 and 10 days postnatal age and compared with the systems in tissue slices from adult rats. For both systems there was an increase in the maximal rate of uptake of the substrate with development. For glycine uptake there was no significant change in apparent Km during development, whereas there was a four-fold increase in the apparent Km for GABA uptake. There were some changes with development in the apparent substrate specificity of the two systems suggesting increased specificity with maturation. Bicuculline and strychnine, antagonists of the postsynaptic inhibitory actions of GABA and glycine, produced convulsions in 1-, 2- and 10-day-old rats following intraperitoneal injection of doses somewhat lower than those required to convulse adult rats. These findings are consistent with other evidence that glycine and GABA are functioning as inhibitory transmitters at least as soon as 1 day after birth.

    Notes: Abstract— The influence of the following acetylenic analogues of GABA on GABA-metabolizing enzymes was studied in vitro: 4-amino-, 4-morpholino-, 4-piperazino-, 4-piperidino- and 4-pyrrolidinotetrolic acid. 4-Aminotetrolic acid was a linear competitive inhibitor of GABA transaminase activity in extracts of rat cerebral mitochondria and a linear noncompetitive inhibitor of this enzyme activity in extracts of P. fluorescens when activity was measured with GABA as the variable substrate. From these results it was calculated that the dissociation constants for the binding of 4-aminotetrolic acid to the pyridoxal form of these enzymes are approx. 1 mM. The other substituted tetrolic acids did not influence either transaminase activity under the conditions studied. None of the substituted tetrolic acids influenced the L-glutamic acid decarboxylase activity in extracts of rat cerebral cortex and of E. coli.

    Notes: Abstract— Fifty-two substances were tested as inhibitors of the uptake of [3H]GABA in slices of rat cerebral cortex. Among GABA analogues tested, only the 2-fluoro, 3-hydroxy and 2-amino compounds had affinities for the uptake mechanism comparable to that of GABA. [3H]GABA uptake was also potently inhibited by p-chloromercuriphenylsulphonate, N-ethylmaleimide, chlorpromazine and haloperidol. No inhibitors were found to act in a competitive manner with respect to GABA. [3H]GABA uptake was also examined in homogenates of cerebral cortex and other regions of CNS. There was a rapid uptake of [3H]GABA into particles when homogenate samples were incubated with the labelled amino acid; this uptake had similar kinetic properties and inhibitor sensitivity to that observed in slices of intact tissue. Density gradient centrifugation experiments indicated that the particles responsible for the uptake of [3H]GABA in homogenates were probably synaptosomes. Uptake of [3H]GABA also occurred in slices and homogenates of rat spinal cord, and evidence was obtained by the simultaneous labelling of homogenates with [14C]glycine and [3H]GABA that these two amino acids were taken up by different nerve terminals in this region.

    Notes: —Dorsal and ventral roots, dissected from rats anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbitone, accumulated three to four times more GABA than l-glutamate, 1-aspartate or glycine during 30 min incubation at 37°C. GABA was taken up into spinal roots by a structurally specific, sodium-dependent process with an apparent Km of approx. 3 × 10−5m. This uptake process appears to be very similar to that described in rat brain, spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia.

    Notes: Abstract— 2-Hydroxy-, 2-chloro-, 2- and Cmethyl-GABA are linear competitive inhibitors of GABA uptake in rat brain slices. These analogues are thus potential substrates for the GABA transport system and possible‘false transmitters'. 2-Hydroxy-GABA is the most potent inhibitor of GABA uptake yet described. No specific inhibitor of GABA uptake was revealed amongst the drugs tested.

    Notes: Each of the four convulsants used significantly influenced the release of [3H]-GABA from brain slices, without affecting [3H]GABA uptake. Bicuculline (10−5M, but not 10-fold higher or lower concentrations) potentiated the electrically evoked release of [3H]GABA but not the resting release, whereas metrazol (10−4 to 10−6 M) was found to inhibit resting but not electrically evoked release. Strychnine (10−4 and 10−5 M) and picro-toxin (10−4 M) inhibited electrically evoked release.

    Notes: Abstract— trans-4-aminocrotonic acid, dl-cis-aminocyclohexane-ltarboxylic acid and 4-aminotetrolic acid were found to be competitive inhibitors of GABA uptake in rat brain slices. These inhibitors are analogues of extended conformations of GABA, which indicates that these conformations are important in the initial binding of this inhibitory transmitter to its transport carrier.

    Notes: Of the free amino acids found in extracts of cat spinal roots, dorsal root ganglia and peripheral nerves, only glutamate was present in disproportionately high concentrations in those parts of the dorsal roots between ganglia and spinal cord. This distribution suggests that the high dorsal root levels of glutamate may result from synthesis in dorsal root ganglia and subsequent transport towards the spinal cord. Four excitant amino acids were detected in the extracts: aspartate, cysteate, cysteine sulphinate and glutamate. The unique regional distribution of glutamate is consistent with the proposed role of this amino acid as an excitatory transmitter at the terminals of primary afferent fibres.
