Abstract excerpt
We have previously demonstrated that the highly conserved R209, that flanks the M1 transmembrane segment of nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors, is required for the transport of assembled homomeric neuronal α7 nicotinic ACh receptors to the cell surface. In the present paper we show that basic residues at positions 208 and 210 are necessary for the assembly of α7 receptors. On the contrary, a basic residue at...
