Reciprocal mutations of highly conserved residues in transmembrane helices 2 and 7 of the alpha(2A)-adrenoceptor restore agonist activation of G(i1)alpha.

Cellular signalling - 1 Feb 2002

Ward Richard J, Milligan Graeme

Abstract excerpt

Fusion proteins were constructed between the alpha(2A)-adrenoceptor and the alpha-subunit of the G-protein G(i1). Mutation of the highly conserved Asp(79) in transmembrane (TM) helix 2 of the receptor to Asn reduced the capacity of agonists to activate G(i1)alpha by 95% without altering [3H]antagonist or agonist ligand-binding affinity. A reciprocal mutation in TM helix 7 (Asn(422)Asp) was without effect on...
