Abstract excerpt
Dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment of angiotensin II (Ang II) type 2 (AT(2)) receptor potentiates ligand binding, but the underlying mechanism is not known. Two disulfide bonds proposed in the extracellular domain were examined in this report. Based on the analysis of ligand affinity of cysteine (Cys, C) to alanine (Ala, A) substitution mutants, we provide evidence that Cys(35)-Cys(290) and Cys(117)-Cys(195)...
