Summary

CHRNB2 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 2 subunit, HGNC:1962) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q21.3, encoding Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit beta-2 (P17787). Component of neuronal acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that function as pentameric, ligand-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability among other activities. nAChRs are excitatory neurotrasnmitter receptors formed by a collection of nAChR subunits known to mediate syna….

Neuronal acetylcholine receptors are homo- or heteropentameric complexes composed of homologous alpha and beta subunits. They belong to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels which allow the flow of sodium and potassium across the plasma membrane in response to ligands such as acetylcholine and nicotine. This gene encodes one of several beta subunits. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy.

Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit beta-2 — P17787 (reviewed: P17787)

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Component of neuronal acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) that function as pentameric, ligand-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability among other activities. nAChRs are excitatory neurotrasnmitter receptors formed by a collection of nAChR subunits known to mediate synaptic transmission in the nervous system and the neuromuscular junction. Each nAchR subunit confers differential attributes to channel properties, including activation, deactivation and desensitization kinetics, pH sensitivity, cation permeability, and binding to allosteric modulators. CHRNB2 forms heteropentameric neuronal acetylcholine receptors with CHRNA2, CHRNA3, CHRNA4 and CHRNA6, as well as CHRNA5 and CHRNB3 as accesory subunits. Found in two major stoichiometric forms,(CHRNA4)3:(CHRNB2)2 and (CHRNA4)2:(CHRNB2)3, the two stoichiometric forms differ in their unitary conductance, calcium permeability, ACh sensitivity and potentiation by divalent cation. Heteropentameric channels with CHRNA6 and CHRNA4 exhibit high sensitivity to ACh and nicotine and are predominantly expressed in only a few brain areas, including dopaminergic neurons, norepirephrine neurons and cells of the visual system. nAChrs containing CHRNA6 subunits mediate endogenous cholinergic modulation of dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) release in response to nicotine at nerve terminals. Also forms functional nAChRs with other subunits such as CHRNA7:CHRNB2, mainly expressed in basal forebrain cholinergic neurons.

Subunit / interactions. Neuronal AChR is a heteropentamer composed of two different types of subunits: alpha and beta. CHRNB2/Beta-2 subunit can be combined to CHRNA2/alpha-2, CHRNA3/alpha-3 or CHRNA4/alpha-4, CHRNA5/alpha-5, CHRNA6/alpha-6 and CHRNB3/beta-3 to give rise to functional receptors. CHRNA2:CHRNB2 and CHRNA4:CHRNB2 nAChR complexes exist in two subtypes: LS (low agonist sensitivity) with a (CHRNA2/4)3:(CHRNB2)2 and HS (high agonist sensitivity) with a (CHRNA2/4)2:(CHRNB2)3 stoichiometry; the subtypes differ in their subunit binding interfaces which are involved in ligand binding. Cells produce predominantly an (CHRNA4)3:(CHRNB2)2 nAChR. The stoichiometric form (CHRNA4)2:(CHRNB2)3 expression is selectively up-regulated by nicotine and has lower single channel conductance and calcium permeability. Also part of the stoichiometric forms: (CHRNA4:CHRNB2)2:CHRNB3 or (CHRNA6:CHRNB2)2:CHRNB3. Can form heteropentamers with CHRNA7, mainly found in basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. Interacts with RIC3; which is required for proper folding and assembly. Interacts with LYPD6.

Disease relevance. Epilepsy, nocturnal frontal lobe, 3 (ENFL3) [MIM:605375] An autosomal dominant focal epilepsy characterized by nocturnal seizures with hyperkinetic automatisms and poorly organized stereotyped movements. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Activated by a myriad of ligands such as acetylcholine, cytisine, nicotine, choline and epibatidine. Channel potentiation by calcium is stoichiometry-selective, CHRNA4:CHRNB2 nACh receptor is achieved by calcium association with topographically distinct sites framed by anionic residues within the CHRNA4 subunit and between the CHRNA4 and CHRNB2 subunits. Oligomeric amyloid-beta protein 42 activates specifially CHRNA7:CHRNB2 nAchRs. nAChR activity is inhibited by the antagonist alpha-conotoxins BuIA, PnIA, PnIC, GID and MII, small disulfide-constrained peptides from cone snails.

Similarity. Belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family. Acetylcholine receptor (TC 1.A.9.1) subfamily. Beta-2/CHRNB2 sub-subfamily.
