Wild-type and alpha5 null mutant mice were used to identify nicotinic cholinergic receptors (nAChRs) that mediate alpha-conotoxin MII (alpha-CtxMII)-resistant dopamine (DA) release from striatal synaptosomes. Concentration-effect curves for ACh-stimulated release (20 s) were monophasic when wild-type synaptosomes were assayed but biphasic with synaptosomes from the alpha5 null mutant. Deleting the alpha5 gene also resulted in decreased maximal ACh-stimulated alpha-CtxMII-resistant DA release. When a shorter perfusion time (5 s) was used, biphasic curves were detected in both wild-type and alpha5 null mutants, indicative of high- and low-sensitivity (HS and LS) activity. In addition, DHbetaE-sensitive (HS) and DHbetaE-resistant (LS) components were found in both genotypes. These results indicate that alpha-CtxMII-resistant DA release is mediated by alpha4alpha5beta2, (alpha4)(2)(beta2)(3) (HS), and (alpha4)(3)(beta2)(2) (LS) nAChRs.
