Abstract excerpt
Each member of the muscarinic receptor family (M1-M5) can interact only with a limited subset of the many structurally closely related heterotrimeric G proteins expressed within a cell. To understand how this selectivity is achieved at a molecular level, we have used the G(i/0)-coupled M2 and the Gq/11-coupled M3 muscarinic receptors as model systems. We developed a genetic strategy involving the coexpression of...
