Insects and other invertebrates use L-glutamate as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and at the neuromuscular junction. In contrast to the well-studied effects of L-glutamate on invertebrate muscle cells, relatively little is known about the physiological role of glutamate receptors (GluRs) in the invertebrate central nervous system. We have applied a molecular cloning approach to elucidate the molecular structure of neuronal and muscle-specific Drosophila glutamate receptor subunits (DGluRs). Several domains conserved between rat GluR subunits and DGluRs indicate regions of high functional significance. Drosophila genetics may now be used as a valuable experimental tool to gain further insight into the role of DGluRs in development, synaptic plasticity and control of gene expression.
