Regulation of the avidity of ternary complexes containing the human 5-HT(1A) receptor by mutation of a receptor contact site on the interacting G protein alpha subunit.

Abstract excerpt

1 Fusion proteins were constructed between the human 5-HT(1A) receptor and pertussis toxin-resistant forms of both G(i1)alpha and G(o1)alpha mutated at residue(351) from cysteine to either glycine or isoleucine. Each of these was expressed stably in HEK293 cells. 2 Increasing concentrations of GDP inhibited binding of the agonist [(3)H]-8-OH-DPAT but not the antagonist [(3)H]-MPPF to each construct. 3 The IC(50)...
