Note the strong EYFP fluorescence in layer 5 that contains the axons of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. L, layer; WM, white matter. (B) Schematic of slice experiments in (C,D). GtACR2 in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. (C) Membrane potentials (upper panel) in response to somatic current injections (lower panel) from a GtACR2+ neuron.

Recruitment of inhibitory neurons by activating GtACR2 in excitatory neurons.

Left, schematic of slice experiments. GtACR2 in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. Right, photoactivation of GtACR2 generated an EPSC (inward current) recorded at the membrane potential of −60 mV and an IPSC (outward current) recorded at the membrane potential of +10 mV in a GtACR2 neuron. The IPSC was abolished by the glutamatergic receptor antagonists, NBQX and CPP (red trace), indicating its disynaptic nature (n = 3 neurons).

Neurotransmitter release induced by prolonged activation of GtACR2.

(A) Schematic of slice experiments in (B). GtACR2 in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. (B) Photoactivation of GtACR2 by a 2-s light pulse generated photocurrents in a GtACR2+ neuron (top panel, recorded at the membrane potential of +10 mV) and EPSCs in a simultaneously recorded GtACR2 neuron (middle panel, recorded at the membrane potential of −60 mV). A segment of the trace from the GtACR2 neuron was expanded to show the EPSCs (bottom panel). Note the sustained photocurrent throughout the light pulse and the large EPSC at the onset of the light pulse. (C,D) Summary graphs of similar experiments (n = 6) as in (B). (C) The cumulative charge transfers of EPSCs from GtACR2 neurons during 2-s light pulses were plotted as a function of time to show the time course of neurotransmitter release. Each curve was normalized by the mean of its last 100 ms of the 2-s light pulse. (D) The durations from the onset of the light pulse to the time when the cumulative charge transfer reached 50% and 90%. The orange line and symbol correspond to the experiment in (B). (E,F,G) As in (A,B), but for GtACR2 in Pv neurons. Two experiments were shown in (F,G). The traces from the GtACR2 neurons were expanded to show IPSCs (bottom panels).

Reducing intracellular chloride concentrations diminishes the neurotransmitter release induced by activation of GtACR2 or iC++.

(A) Schematic of slice experiments in (B). GtACR2 in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. (B) Left, photoactivation of GtACR2 generated EPSCs in a GtACR2 neuron, which were diminished by decreasing intracellular chloride concentrations with an NKCC1 blocker, bumetanide. Right, summary graph of similar experiments (n = 10, p=0.002). (C,D) As in (A,B), but for ChR2. ChR2 activation-induced EPSCs were not affected by bumetanide (n = 8, p=0.9). (E,F) As in (A,B), but for GtACR2 in Pv neurons. GtACR2 activation-induced IPSCs were diminished by bumetanide (n = 9, p=0.004). (G,H) As in (A,B), but for iC++. iC++-induced EPSCs were diminished by bumetanide (n = 6, p=0.009).

The reversal potential of GtACR2 at the soma is similar to that of GABAA receptors.

(A) Schematic of slice experiments in (B). GtACR2 in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons and ReaChR in Pv neurons. (B) In a GtACR2+ neuron, GABAergic IPSCs induced by activating ReaChR in Pv neurons (left panel) and GtACR2-mediated photocurrents (right panel) were sequentially recorded at different membrane potentials. The example traces show the currents at the membrane potentials of −50, −60, −65, −66, −68, −70, and −75 mV. A GtACR2 neuron was simultaneously recorded at the membrane potential of +10 mV to ensure that the blue light did not generate IPSCs (right panel). (C) The amplitudes of IPSCs and GtACR2 photocurrents were plotted as a function of the membrane potentials for the GtACR2+ neuron in (B). Each set of data were fit with linear regression and the reversal potentials were determined by the Vm-axis intercepts. (D) Summary graph of similar experiments in (B,C) where the reversal potential of IPSCs was plotted against that of GtACR2 photocurrents for each GtACR2+ neuron. All data points fall close to the dotted unity line, and there is no significant difference between the reversal potentials of IPSCs and photocurrents (n = 8, p=0.4).

GtACR2-induced neurotransmitter release is not due to rebound depolarization or its long-term expression throughout development.

(A) Schematic of slice experiments in (B). GtACR2 in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. (B) Left, photoactivation of GtACR2 generated EPSCs in a GtACR2 neuron, which were not decreased by blocking the Ih current with ZD7288 (20 μM). Right, summary graph of similar experiments showing that the EPSC amplitudes were slightly increased by ZD7288 (n = 12, p=0.03). (C) Schematics of conditional expression of GtACR2 in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. A Flpo-dependent plasmid (FRT-FLEX-GtACR2) was electroporated at embryonic day 15 (E15) and AAV9-hSyn-Flpo was injected into the electroporated mice at different postnatal days (P23, P60, or P64). Green bars indicate the approximate GtACR2 expression time windows. (D) Left, representative fluorescent images of the visual cortex obtained at postnatal day 78 showing that, without injection of AAV9-hSyn-Flpo, transfected neurons (labeled by tdTomato) did not express GtACR2-EYFP (left panel, n = 6 mice, postnatal day 51–150). Right, representative fluorescent images of the visual cortex obtained at postnatal day 40 showing that the expression of GtACR2-EYFP in transfected neurons was turned on by the injection of AAV9-hSyn-Flpo at postnatal day 23 (right panel, n = 7 mice, postnatal day 40–86). L, layer; WM, white matter. (E) Photoactivation of GtACR2 generated EPSCs in GtACR2 neurons when GtACR2 was expressed during 3 different time windows as indicated in (C). Bumetanide was applied in a subset of experiments and the EPSCs were diminished (n = 12, p=0.0005).

(B) Left, photoactivation of GtACR2 in the callosal axons, severed from their somas, generated EPSCs in a GtACR2 neuron, which were diminished by bumetanide. Right, summary graph of similar experiments (n = 15, p<0.0001). (C) Schematic of slice experiments in (D). GtACR2 in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. (D) Left, photoactivation of GtACR2 generated EPSCs in a GtACR2 neuron, which were abolished by TTX, but partially recovered by the addition of voltage-gated potassium channel blockers, 4-AP (1.5 mM) and TEA (1.5 mM). Right, summary graph of similar experiments (n = 10; TTX vs. control, p=0.02, average EPSC amplitude in TTX was 2% of control; TTX + 4-AP + TEA vs. TTX, p=0.0004, average EPSC amplitude in TTX + 4-AP + TEA was 35% of control). (E,F) As in (C,D), but for Pv neurons. GtACR2 activation-induced IPSCs were abolished by TTX, but partially recovered by 4-AP and TEA (n = 9; TTX vs. control, p=0.006, average IPSC amplitude in TTX was 0.9% of control; TTX + 4-AP + TEA vs. TTX, p=0.008, average IPSC amplitude in TTX + 4-AP + TEA was 23% of control). (G) Schematic of slice experiments in (H). GtACR2 in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. (H) Photoactivation of GtACR2 generated antidromic spikes in GtACR2+ pyramidal neurons, which were not affected by NBQX and CPP, but were abolished by TTX in both loose-patch (left panel) and whole-cell (right panel) recordings. In the whole-cell recordings, the resting membrane potentials of those neurons that generated antidromic spikes were −68.1 ± 1.7 mV (mean ± s.e.m., n = 21). (I,J) As in (G,H), but for Pv neurons. The antidromic spikes in GtACR2+ Pv neurons were abolished by TTX. In the whole-cell recordings, the resting membrane potentials of those neurons that generated antidromic spikes were −60.0 ± 2.4 mV (mean ± s.e.m., n = 7).

Targeting GtACR2 to neuronal somatodendritic domain.

(A) Wild type (WT) GtACR2 and its variants tagged with EYFP or EGFP were expressed along with tdTomato in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. Representative fluorescent images of the cortices showing the distribution of GtACR2. Note the strong EYFP fluorescence in layer 5 for WT GtACR2 and weak EYFP fluorescence in layer 5 for some somatodendritically targeted GtACR2 variants (e.g., Kv2.1C-linker-TlcnC). L, layer; WM, white matter. (B) Representative fluorescent images of electroporated neurons showing that GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C and GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C-linker-TlcnC were more concentrated on the membranes at the soma and proximal dendrites (arrows) than GtACR2-EYFP. Note the intracellular aggregation of GtACR2-EYFP (arrow head). (C) Representative fluorescent images of the contralateral hemisphere showing less GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C and GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C-linker-TlcnC in the callosal projections than GtACR2-EYFP. The callosal projections were labeled by tdTomato. (D) Summary data of the experiments in (A). The EYFP or EGFP fluorescence ratio between layer 5 and layer 2/3 was normalized by the tdTomato fluorescence ratio between layer 5 and layer 2/3. A reduction in the normalized EYFP or EGFP fluorescence ratio indicates a shift of the EYFP or EGFP distribution from the axon to somatodendritic domain. (E) Summary data of the experiments in (C). The ratio of EYFP fluorescence to tdTomato fluorescence of the callosal projections in the contralateral hemisphere. A reduction in the ratio indicates less EYFP in the callosal axons. The numbers of analyzed slices were indicated in the panels. The columns and error bars are mean ± s.e.m. **p<0.01, ****p<0.0001.

(A,B) Schematics of slice experiments in (C,E,G) and (D,F,H), respectively. GtACR2-EYFP, GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C, or GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C-linker-TlcnC in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. (C,D) Summary graph showing the photocurrent peak amplitudes (C) and EPSC amplitudes (D) in response to a blue light pulse of 1 ms and 2.3 mW/mm2. Note that at this stimulation strength, EPSCs were not observed in a subset of neurons, particularly for GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C-linker-TlcnC. (E,F) Summary graph showing that in a subset of experiments for WT GtACR2-EYFP (top panels) and GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C (bottom panels), photocurrents (E) or EPSCs (F) were recorded in response to all four different strengths of stimulation (#1: 1 ms and 2.3 mW/mm2, #2: 1 ms and 2.5 mW/mm2, #3: 5 ms and 2.9 mW/mm2, and #4: 5 ms and 16.1 mW/mm2). (G,H) As in (E,F), but for WT GtACR2-EYFP (top panels) and GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C-linker-TlcnC (bottom panels). Note that for GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C-linker-TlcnC, EPSCs were absent in 13 out of 38 GtACR2 neurons when the stimulation strength decreased to 1 ms and 2.3 mW/mm2, whereas photocurrents were still observed in all recorded GtACR2+ neurons at this stimulation strength. (I) Left, schematic of slice experiments. GtACR2-EYFP-Kv2.1C-linker-TlcnC in a subset of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. EPSCs and photocurrents were simultaneously recorded from a GtACR2 neuron and a GtACR2+ neuron, respectively. Right, in 3 experiments where the EPSCs in GtACR2 neurons were absent when the stimulation strength decreased to 1 ms and 2.3 mW/mm2 or 2.5 mW/mm2, the photocurrent peak amplitudes and EPSC amplitudes from these pairs of GtACR2+ and GtACR2– neurons were plotted as a function of light stimulation strength. Each shape of the symbols represents one pair of neurons. Note that GtACR2+ neurons still showed robust photocurrents when the EPSCs in GtACR2 neurons reduced to zero.
