Abstract
Dopamine agonist-stimulated [35S]GTPgammaS binding to membrane G proteins was studied in select brain regions under experimental conditions that permit the activation of receptor coupling to the G proteins Gi, Gs, or Gq. Agents studied were agonists known to be effective at various dopamine receptor/effector systems and included quinelorane (D2-like/Gi), SKF38393 (D1-like/Gq, D1-like/Gs), SKF85174 (D1-like/Gs), and SKF83959 (D1-like/Gq). Dopamine and SKF38393 significantly stimulated [35S]GTPgammaS binding to normal striatal membranes by 161% and 67% above controls. Deoxycholate, which enhances agonist-induced phospholipase C (PLC) stimulation, markedly enhanced the agonistic effects of dopamine and SKF38393 to 530% and 637% above controls, respectively. The enhancing effects of deoxycholate were reversed if it was washed off the membranes before agonist addition. The thiol-reducing agent, dithiothreitol, completely abolished the effects of SKF38393 and SKF83959, whereas SKF85174 effects were augmented. Agonist responses were concentration-related, and highest efficacies were obtained in the hippocampus, thus paralleling both the brain regional distribution and agonist efficacies previously observed in phosphoinositide hydrolysis assays. These findings suggest that D1-like receptor conformations that mediate agonist stimulation of Gs/adenylylcyclase may be structurally different from those that mediate Gq/PLC activation. Although the exact mechanism of deoxycholate's effect awaits elucidation, the results are consistent with the emerging concept of functional selectivity whereby deoxycholate could create a membrane environment that facilitates the transformation of the receptor from a conformation that activates Gs/adenylylcyclase to one that favors Gq/PLC signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutants with targeted gene deletion ('knockout') or insertion (transgenic) of D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 dopamine (DA) receptor subtypes are complemented by an increasing variety of double knockout and transgenic-'knockout' models, together with knockout of critical components of DA receptor signalling cascades such as G alpha(olf)[G gamma7], adenylyl cyclase type 5, PKA [RIIbeta] and DARPP-32. However, it is increasingly recognised that these molecular techniques have a number of inherent limitations. Furthermore, there are poorly understood methodological factors that contribute to inconsistent phenotypic findings between laboratories. OBJECTIVE This review seeks to document the impact of DA receptor subtype and related transduction mutants on our understanding of the behavioural roles of these entities, primarily at the level of unconditioned psychomotor behaviour. METHODS It includes ethologically based and orofacial movement studies in our own laboratories, since these are the only studies to systematically compare each of the D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 receptor and DARPP-32 signal transduction 'knockouts'. DISCUSSION There is a particular emphasis on identifying methodological factors that might influence phenotypic effects and account for inconsistencies. The findings are offered empirically to (1) specify the extent of phenotypic diversity among individual DA receptor subtypes and transduction components and (2) indicate relationships between D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 receptor subtype proteins, associated G alpha(i)/G alpha(s)/G alpha(olf)[G gamma7]-adenylyl cyclase type 5-PKA [RIIbeta]-DARPP-32 signalling cascades and behaviour. The findings are also offered heuristically as a base for such phenotypic comparisons at additional levels of behaviour so that a yet more complete phenotypic profile might emerge.

Abstract
The phenotypic ethogram of congenic dopamine D(5) receptor "knockout" mice was evaluated. Each individual topography of behaviour within the natural repertoire was assessed over the extended course of initial exploration of and subsequent habituation to the environment, and following challenge with a series of D(1)-like agonists. Over initial exploration, D(5)-null mice evidenced a modest reduction in locomotion and a modest increase in sifting. Subsequent habituation revealed additional phenotypic effects, primarily overall reduction in grooming and delayed habituation of rearing. Among D(1)-like agonists, A 68930 stimulates both adenylyl cyclase and a putative D(1)-like receptor coupled to stimulation of phospholipase C-mediated phosphoinositide hydrolysis; conversely, SK&F 83959 stimulates phosphoinositide hydrolysis but not adenylyl cyclase while SK&F 83822 stimulates adenylyl cyclase but not phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Though programmed grooming syntax and episodic seizure activity induced by A 68930 and SK&F 83822 were unaltered, grooming induced by SK&F 83959 was reduced in D(5) mutants. Stereotyped, ponderous locomotion induced by the D(2)-like agonist RU 24213 was enhanced in D(5) mutants. Phenotypic and pharmacological characterisation of congenic D(5)-null mice at an ethological level identifies novel functional roles for the D(5) receptor in mediating discrete topographies of behaviour relating to exploration, sequential motor coordination, and how these processes change over the course of interaction with and habituation to the environment. Additionally, they indicate the involvement of phosphoinositide hydrolysis and D(5):D(2)-like interactions in regulating these processes.

Neurosci Lett 2005; 382:134-8.

Abstract
While the benzazepine SKF83959 elicits classical behavioral responses associated with dopamine D1 receptors, it also acts as a D1 receptor antagonist biochemically. The paradoxical properties of this agent remain an enigma. In the present study, we sought to determine the behavioral effects of SKF83959 in the rat acoustic startle reflex test. Systemic administration of SKF83959 produced a dose-related increase in the startle amplitude with a stimulus of 105 dB, and a significant group difference was observed between animals treated with 1 mg/kg SKF83959 and vehicle controls. SKF83959 also significantly reduced the latency to startle response to stimuli of 95 dB and 105 dB in a dose-dependent manner. However, unlike classical dopamine D1-like receptor agonists, SKF83959 failed to disrupt prepulse inhibition (PPI) of either the startle amplitude or the latency to startle response; rather, the agent dose-dependently increased the PPI latency to startle response of 105 dB stimulus. These results suggest that the behavioral effects of SKF83959 in the rat acoustic startle reflex paradigm are paradoxical, and these paradoxical effects may be associated with its distinct pharmacological properties.

Abstract
Effects of SK&F 83822 [3-allyl-6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-1-(3-methylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine], an agonist at dopamine D1-like receptors which stimulate adenylyl cyclase but not phosphoinositide hydrolysis, were studied topographically so as to clarify differences between these receptors in the regulation of behaviour. Using cloned receptors, SK&F 83822 showed high, selective affinity for dopamine D1 and D5 over D2, D3, D4 and several non-dopamine receptors. SK&F 83822 induced little intense grooming, but readily induced sniffing, locomotion and rearing; seizures were evident at higher doses, characterised by tonic convulsions, forepaw myoclonus and explosive hyperlocomotion. The dopamine D1-like receptor antagonist SCH 23390 [R(+)-3-methyl-7-chloro-8-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine] readily antagonised these responses to SK&F 83822, particularly seizure activity. The dopamine D2-like receptor antagonist YM 09151-2 [cis-N-(1-benzyl-2-methyl-pyrrolidin-3-yl)-5-chloro-2-methoxy-4-methylaminobenzamide] did not alleviate seizures induced by SK&F 83822; YM 09151-02 did, however, attenuate SK&F 83822-induced sniffing, locomotion and rearing, and released vacuous chewing. These findings indicate that dopamine D1-like receptors linked to adenylyl cyclase can be differentiated from those not linked to adenylyl cyclase in terms of their roles in the topographical regulation of behaviour. For example, the seizure and vacuous chewing responses appear to involve dopamine D1-like receptors that stimulate adenylyl cyclase, while intense grooming involves those which do not.

Abstract
Using a novel procedure, the regulation of individual topographies of orofacial movement in the mouse by oppositional versus cooperative/synergistic D1-like: D2-like dopamine receptor interactions was studied. The D1-like agonists SK&F 38393 and SK&F 83959 each induced vertical, but not horizontal, jaw movements, together with tongue protrusions and incisor chattering; however, SK&F 82958 induced a different profile which, consistent with other neurochemical and neurophysiological studies, suggests that this agent shows anomalous properties relative to other D1-like agonists. When given alone, the D2-like agonist quinpirole reduced horizontal jaw movements and incisor chattering. On coadministration, both SK&F 38393- and SK&F 83959-induced vertical jaw movements and tongue protrusions were inhibited by quinpirole, while SK&F 82958 again showed an anomalous profile. These findings indicate that, in the mouse, vertical jaw movements and tongue protrusions are regulated by oppositional D1-like: D2-like interactions, and appear to involve a D1-like receptor that is not coupled to adenylyl cyclase, whereas horizontal jaw movements are inhibited by D2-like receptors. Additionally, results obtained using SK&F 82958 as a probe for D1-like mechanisms should be treated with considerable caution until they are confirmed using other D1-like agonists.

Abstract
The D1-like (D1, D5) and D2-like (D2, D3, D4) classes of dopamine receptors each has shared signaling properties that contribute to the definition of the receptor class, although some differences among subtypes within a class have been identified. D1-like receptor signaling is mediated chiefly by the heterotrimeric G proteins Galphas and Galphaolf, which cause sequential activation of adenylate cyclase, cylic AMP-dependent protein kinase, and the protein phosphatase-1 inhibitor DARPP-32. The increased phosphorylation that results from the combined effects of activating cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and inhibiting protein phosphatase 1 regulates the activity of many receptors, enzymes, ion channels, and transcription factors. D1 or a novel D1-like receptor also signals via phospholipase C-dependent and cyclic AMP-independent mobilization of intracellular calcium. D2-like receptor signaling is mediated by the heterotrimeric G proteins Galphai and Galphao. These pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins regulate some effectors, such as adenylate cyclase, via their Galpha subunits, but regulate many more effectors such as ion channels, phospholipases, protein kinases, and receptor tyrosine kinases as a result of the receptor-induced liberation of Gbetagamma subunits. In addition to interactions between dopamine receptors and G proteins, other protein:protein interactions such as receptor oligomerization or receptor interactions with scaffolding and signal-switching proteins are critical for regulation of dopamine receptor signaling.

Abstract
Dopamine D1 ligands have been classified and ordered according to efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo studies. In the present experiments, dopamine D1 ligands reported to differ in in vitro efficacy were evaluated for efficacy-related effects on eye blinking in squirrel monkeys. Additional comparisons were made with the effects of D2 receptor agonists and indirect dopamine agonists. The results show that D1 agonists increased eye blinking in an efficacy-related manner, whereas the D1 receptor blocker SCH 39166 [(-)-trans-6,7,7alpha,8,9,13beta-hexahydro-3-chloro-2-hydroxy-N-methyl-5H-benzo[d]naphtho[2,1-b]azepine] only decreased rates of eye blinking. D1 high-efficacy agonists induced rates of eye blinking that were 2- to 3-fold greater than observed with dopamine D2 agonists and indirect agonists. In drug combination experiments, increases in eye blinking induced by the D1 high-efficacy agonist R-(+)-6-Br-APB [R-(+)-6-bromo-7,8-dihydroxy-3-allyl-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine hydrobromide] were antagonized by both the D1 antagonist SCH 39166 and the lower efficacy agonist SKF 83959 [6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine hydrobromide], consistent with dopamine D1 receptor mediation of these behavioral effects. The dopamine D2 agonist (+)-PHNO [(+)-N-propyl-hydroxynaphthoxazine], which selectively activates dopamine D2 receptors, also attenuated D1 agonist-induced increase in eye blinking, suggesting that D2 receptor actions may inhibit D1-mediated increases in eye blinking. Overall, eye blink rate appears to be a robust behavioral measure that can be used to measure changes in dopaminergic D1 signaling and as a functional assay of agonist efficacy at dopamine D1 receptors.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) and cAMP are the two second messengers that play an important role in neuronal signaling. Here, we investigated the interactions of InsP(3)- and cAMP-mediated signaling pathways activated by dopamine in striatal medium spiny neurons (MSN). We found that in approximately 40% of the MSN, application of dopamine elicited robust repetitive Ca(2+) transients (oscillations). In pharmacological experiments with specific agonists and antagonists, we found that the observed Ca(2+) oscillations were triggered by activation of D1 class dopamine receptors (DARs). We further demonstrated that activation of phospholipase C was required for induction of dopamine-induced Ca(2+) oscillations and that maintenance of dopamine-evoked Ca(2+) oscillations required both Ca(2+) influx and Ca(2+) mobilization from internal Ca(2+) stores. In "priming" experiments with a type 2 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor agonist, we have shown a likely role for calcyon in coupling D1 class DARs with Ca(2+) oscillations in MSN. In experiments with the DAR-specific agonist SKF83959, we discovered that phospholipase C activation alone could not account for dopamine-induced Ca(2+) oscillations. We further demonstrated that direct activation of protein kinase A by 8-bromo-cAMP or inhibition of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) or calcineurin (PP2B) resulted in elevation of basal Ca(2+) levels in MSN, but not in Ca(2+) oscillations. In experiments with competitive peptides, we have shown an importance of type 1 InsP(3) receptor association with PP1alpha and with AKAP9.protein kinase A for dopamine-induced Ca(2+) oscillations. In experiments with MSN from DARPP-32 knock-out mice, we demonstrated a regulatory role of DARPP-32 in dopamine-induced Ca(2+) oscillations. Our results indicate that, following D1 class DAR activation, InsP(3) and cAMP signaling pathways converge on the type 1 InsP(3) receptor, resulting in Ca(2+) oscillations in MSN.

Abstract
A brain dopamine receptor that modulates phosphatidylinositol (PI) metabolism via the activation of phospholipase Cbeta (PLCbeta) has been described previously. The present study aims to define the downstream signaling cascade initiated by the PI-linked dopamine receptor. Incubation of rat brain frontal cortical slices with 6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-1-(3-methylphenyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine (SKF83959), a recently identified selective agonist of the PI-linked D1-like dopamine receptor, elicited transient time- and dose-dependent stimulations of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II) activities. The stimulation of these kinases is blocked by 20 microM R-(+)-7-chloro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine (SCH23390) or the PLCbeta antagonist 1-[6-[[17beta-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino]hexyl]-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U-73122) and is attenuated by the protein kinase inhibitor calphostin C or by the intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA, indicating that SKF83959 stimulates cdk5 and CaMK II activities via a PI-linked D1-like dopamine receptor, and PLCbeta and is dependent on protein kinase C and calcium. Although cdk5 and CaMK II are physically associated in native brain tissue, no change in this association was observed in response to SKF83959 stimulation or to the inhibition of either cdk5 by roscovitine or of CaMK by 2-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)]-N-(4-methoxybenzenesulfonyl)]amino-N-(4-chlorocinnamyl)-N-methylbenzylamine) (KN93), suggesting that SKF83959-mediated stimulation of cdk5 or CaMK II is independent of the other kinase and that the association of the two kinases is not modulated by change of kinase activity. Moreover, we found that cdk5 phosphorylates dopamine and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein at Thr75, whereas CaMK II is responsible for the activation of cAMP response element-binding protein in response to SKF83959 stimulation. The present data provide the first insight into the signaling mechanism for the PI-linked dopamine receptor. This information, in turn, may help in exploring the functional consequences of stimulation of this brain receptor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Reinstatement of the function of working memory, the cardinal cognitive process essential for human reasoning and judgment, is potentially the most intractable problem for the treatment of schizophrenia. Since deficits in working memory are associated with dopamine dysregulation and altered D(1) receptor signaling within prefrontal cortex, we present the case for targeting novel drug therapies towards enhancing prefrontal D(1) stimulation for the amelioration of the debilitating cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. OBJECTIVES This review examines the role of dopamine in regulating cellular and circuit function within prefrontal cortex in order to understand the significance of the dopamine dysregulation found in schizophrenia and related non-human primate models. By revealing the associations among prefrontal neuronal function, dopamine and D(1) signaling, and cognition, we seek to pinpoint the mechanisms by which dopamine modulates working memory processes and how these mechanisms may be exploited to improve cognitive function. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Dopamine deficiency within dorsolateral prefrontal cortex leads to abnormal recruitment of this region by cognitive tasks. Both preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated a direct relationship between prefrontal dopamine function and the integrity of working memory, suggesting that insufficient D(1) receptor signaling in this region results in cognitive deficits. Moreover, working memory deficits can be ameliorated by treatments that augment D(1) receptor stimulation, indicating that this target presents a unique opportunity for the restoration of cognitive function in schizophrenia.

Abstract
It is well known that the dopamine D(3) receptor plays a critical role in several psychological disorders, such as drug dependence. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of lacking dopamine D(3) receptors in dopamine-induced G-protein activation and Ca(2+) influx in the mouse forebrain. The deletion of dopamine D(3) receptor gene caused the enhancement of dopamine-induced G-protein activation in the limbic forebrain of dopamine D(3) receptor knockout (D(3)KO) mice. Furthermore, the dopamine-induced Ca(2+) influx was enhanced in the coculture of neuron/glia cells obtained from the forebrain of D(3)KO mice. The present data provide direct evidence that a deletion of central dopamine D(3) receptor enhances the dopamine D(1)/D(2) receptor-mediated intracellular signaling.
