Four 2-substituted Tet-AMPA [Tet = tetrazolyl, AMPA = 2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolyl)propionic acid] analogues were characterized functionally at the homomeric AMPA receptors GluR1(i), GluR2Q(i), GluR3(i), and GluR4(i) in a Fluo-4/Ca2+ assay. Whereas 2-Et-Tet-AMPA, 2-Pr-Tet-AMPA, and 2-iPr-Tet-AMPA were nonselective GluR agonists, 2-Bn-Tet-AMPA exhibited a 40-fold higher potency at GluR4(i) than at GluR1(i). Examination of homology models of the S1-S2 domains of GluR1 and GluR4 containing 2-Bn-Tet-AMPA suggested four nonconserved residues in a region adjacent to the orthosteric site as possible determinants of the GluR4(i)/GluR1(i) selectivity. In a mutagenesis study, doubly mutating M686V/I687A in GluR1(i) in combination with either D399S or E683A increased both the potency and the maximal response of 2-Bn-Tet-AMPA at this receptor to levels similar to those elicited by the agonist at GluR4(i). The dependence of the novel selectivity profile of 2-Bn-Tet-AMPA upon residues located outside of the orthosteric site underlines the potential for developing GluR subtype selective ligands by designing compounds with substituents that protrude beyond the (S)-Glu binding pocket.
