Summary

GRIN2B (glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2B, HGNC:4586) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p13.1, encoding Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 2B (Q13224). Component of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NMDARs) that function as heterotetrameric, ligand-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent block by Mg(2+). It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).

This gene encodes a member of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor family within the ionotropic glutamate receptor superfamily. The encoded protein is a subunit of the NMDA receptor ion channel which acts as an agonist binding site for glutamate. The NMDA receptors mediate a slow calcium-permeable component of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. The NMDA receptors are heterotetramers of seven genetically encoded, differentially expressed subunits including NR1 (GRIN1), NR2 (GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2C, or GRIN2D) and NR3 (GRIN3A or GRIN3B). The early expression of this gene in development suggests a role in brain development, circuit formation, synaptic plasticity, and cellular migration and differentiation. Naturally occurring mutations within this gene are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, epilepsy, and schizophrenia.

Function. Component of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NMDARs) that function as heterotetrameric, ligand-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent block by Mg(2+). Participates in synaptic plasticity for learning and memory formation by contributing to the long-term depression (LTD) of hippocampus membrane currents. Channel activation requires binding of the neurotransmitter L-glutamate to the GluN2 subunit, glycine or D-serine binding to the GluN1 subunit, plus membrane depolarization to eliminate channel inhibition by Mg(2+). NMDARs mediate simultaneously the potassium efflux and the influx of calcium and sodium. Each GluN2 subunit confers differential attributes to channel properties, including activation, deactivation and desensitization kinetics, pH sensitivity, Ca2(+) permeability, and binding to allosteric modulators. In concert with DAPK1 at extrasynaptic sites, acts as a central mediator for stroke damage. Its phosphorylation at Ser-1303 by DAPK1 enhances synaptic NMDA receptor channel activity inducing injurious Ca2+ influx through them, resulting in an irreversible neuronal death.

Subunit / interactions. Heterotetramer. Forms heterotetrameric channels composed of two GluN1/zeta subunits (GRIN1), and two identical GluN2/epsilon subunits (GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2C or GRIN2D) or GluN3 subunits (GRIN3A or GRIN3B) (in vitro). Can also form heterotetrameric channels that contain at least two GluN1 subunits and at least two different GluN2 subunits (or a combination of one GluN2 and one GluN3 subunits) (in vitro). In vivo, the subunit composition may depend on the expression levels of the different subunits. Found in a complex with GRIN1 and GRIN3B. Found in a complex with GRIN1, GRIN3A and PPP2CB. Interacts with PDZ domains of PATJ, DLG3 and DLG4. Interacts with HIP1 and NETO1. Interacts with MAGI3. Interacts with DAPK1. Found in a complex with GRIN1 and PRR7. Interacts with PRR7. Interacts with CAMK2A. Interacts with ARC; preventing ARC oligomerization. Interacts with TMEM25. Interacts (via the extreme C-terminus) with FRMPD2 (via the second PDZ domain); the interaction is direct and is likely to promote NMDAR-mediated neural signal transmission. Interacts with FAM81A; the interaction facilitates condensate formation via liquid-liquid phase separation.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Postsynaptic cell membrane. Cell projection. Dendrite. Late endosome. Lysosome. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.

Tissue specificity. Primarily found in the fronto-parieto-temporal cortex and hippocampus pyramidal cells, lower expression in the basal ganglia.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. Phosphorylation at Ser-1303 by DAPK1 enhances synaptic NMDA receptor channel activity.

Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal dominant 6, with or without seizures (MRD6) [MIM:613970] A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRD6 additional features may include seizures, hypotonia, abnormal movements, such as dystonia, and autistic features. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 27 (DEE27) [MIM:616139] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A chromosomal aberrations involving GRIN2B has been found in patients with intellectual disability. Translocations t(9;12)(p23;p13.1) and t(10;12)(q21.1;p13.1) with a common breakpoint in 12p13.1.

Domain organisation. The extracellular N-terminal domain (NTD) endows NMDARs with a unique capacity for allosteric modulation, harboring several binding sites for small molecule ligands that act as subunit-specific allosteric modulators of ion channel activity. A hydrophobic region that gives rise to the prediction of a transmembrane span does not cross the membrane, but is part of a discontinuously helical region that dips into the membrane and is probably part of the pore and of the selectivity filter.

Similarity. Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family. NR2B/GRIN2B subfamily.

A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
