Annotation
We identified macrophage myristoylated alanine-rich c-kinase substrate (MacMARCKS) as a binding protein to metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7). Binding of MacMARCKS to mGluR7 was antagonized by Ca2+/calmodulin. In neurons, cotransfection of MacMARCKS with mGluR7, but not mGluR7 mutants unable to bind MacMARCKS, reduced the G-protein-mediated tonic inhibition of VSCCs in the absence of mGluR7 agonist.
