title: [G-protein activators enhance the plasticity of the cholinoreceptors of snail neurons].
abstract: Influence of two G-protein activators 5-guanylylimidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) and guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate (GTP-gamma-S) on extinction of inward current evoked by local acethylcholine application (Ach-current) on the neurons RPa3 and LPa3 of Helix lucorum was studied using two-electrode voltage clamp technique. Non-reversible deepening of Ach-current extinction after intracellular injections (-2 nA, 10 min) of Gpp(NH)p and GTP-gamma-S was shown. A conclusion was made on participation of G-proteins in regulatory molecular mechanism of cholinoreceptor plasticity. Both activators of G-proteins demonstrated a novel unusual action on Ach-current extinction. They disturbed monotonous course of extinction. Oscillations of intracellular concentration of calcium ions are supposed to be the reason of such an effect.
