The effect of Waglerin-1, a 22-amino acid peptide purified from the venom of Wagler's pit viper on the whole cell current response (IGABA) to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was examined for neurons freshly isolated from the nucleus accumbens of 3- to 7-day-old rats. Waglerin-1 depressed IGABAinduced by subsaturating concentrations of GABA; the IC50for IGABAinduced by 10 μM GABA was 2.5 μM Waglerin-1. This concentration of Waglerin-1 shifted the GABA concentration–response curve to the right in a parallel manner, increasing the GABA EC50from 12±3 to 27±5 μM. The depressant effect of Waglerin-1 was greater at negative holding potentials. Zn2+also inhibited IGABAwith an IC50of 0.3 μM. Phosphorylation state appeared to modulate GABAAreceptor sensitivity to the inhibitory effect of Waglerin-1 since dialysis of neurons with N-[2-((p-bromocinnamyl)amino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide HCl (H-89), an inhibitor of protein kinase A, prevented inhibition. The data are discussed in terms of developmental influences on the subunit composition of GABAAreceptors in neurons of the nucleus accumbens.
