Gill ATPases of the osteoglossid Osteoglossum bicirrhosum (aruaná) were isolated from the microsomal fraction (Nal pellet) and assayed in the presence of various cations and anions. The presence of Ca2+, Mg2+ (Mn2+), Na+ + K+ (with Mg2+) activated ATP hydrolyses; activation by Ca2+ and Mg2+ was similar and both were inhibited by thiocyanate, but the monovalent ions showed much lower activities. Activities in the presence of these ions were in the range reported for temperate teleosts such as the eel, goldfish, or trout. No HCO3− or NH4+ activation was detected. Apparent Km values for divalent cation activation were well above their respective environmental concentrations, but within the range reported for analogous enzymes of temperate teleosts. There is a specific interaction between Ca2+ and Mg2+ binding to the enzyme, but the results cannot distinguish between the existence of one enzyme with multiple binding sites, or a numberof ion-specific ATPases. These results suggest that the enzyme s assayed in this investigation are only indirectly, if at all, associated with gill ion transport in aruaná.

The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is a member of the ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) family that plays a crucial role in brain signalling and development. NMDARs are nonselective cation channels that are involved with the propagation of excitatory neurotransmission signals with important effects on synaptic plasticity. NMDARs are functionally and structurally complex receptors, they exist as a family of subtypes each with its own unique pharmacological properties. Their implication in a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions means they have been a focus of research for many decades. Disruption of NMDAR-related signalling is known to adversely affect higherorder cognitive functions (e.g. learning and memory) and the search for molecules that can recover (or even enhance) receptor output is a current strategy for CNS drug discovery. A number of positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) that specifically attempt to overcome NMDAR hypofunction have been discovered. They include various chemotypes that have been found to bind to several different binding sites within the receptor. The heterogeneity of chemotype, binding site and NMDAR subtype provide a broad landscape of ongoing opportunities to uncover new features of NMDAR pharmacology. Research on NMDARs continues to provide novel mechanistic insights into receptor activation and this review will provide a high-level overview of the research area and discuss the various chemical classes of PAMs discovered so far.
