Abstract excerpt
Ubiquitination of the human kappa opioid receptor (hKOR) expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was observed in the presence of the proteasomal inhibitor N-benzoyloxycarbonyl (Z)-Leu-Leu-leucinal (MG132) and enhanced by the agonists (-)(trans)-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidiny) cyclohexyl] benzeneacetamide (U50,488H) and dynorphin A (Dyn A). The dominant-negative (DN) mutants GRK2-K220R and...
