Annotated paper:Chen G, et al. "Dopamine D3 receptors regulate GABAA receptor function through a phospho-dependent endocytosis mechanism in nucleus accumbens" J Neurosci. 2006 Mar 1;26(9):2513-21 PMID:16510729
Figure(s):Fig.1, 2, 4, 5, 7
Annotation description:Fig.1: "Activation of dopamine D3 receptors reduced GABAA receptor-mediated current in nucleus accumbens"
- "As shown in Figure 1D-F, bath application of PD128907 (10 μm) caused a strong reduction of the amplitude and frequency of mIPSC, which were stable throughout the recording period when no agonist was applied."

Fig.2: "The dynamin inhibitory peptide blocked the D3 effect on GABAA receptors"
- "As shown in Figure 2, D and E, PD128907 was without effect on mIPSC amplitude in the cell dialyzed with the p4 peptide, whereas inclusion of a scrambled control peptide failed to block the PD128907 reduction of mIPSC amplitude."

Fig.4: "PKA was specifically involved in the D3 regulation of GABAAR current"
- Note: DRD3 is known to signal through PKA.

Fig.5: "PKA phosphorylation-dependent endocytosis of GABAAR β subunit was involved in the D3 modulation of postsynaptic GABAA receptors"

Fig.6: "Activation of NAc D3 receptors increased GABAAR internalization and reduced the GABAAR surface expression in a dynamin- and PKA-dependent manner."
