Abstract excerpt
Acetylcholine challenge produces M(3) muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activation and accessory/scaffold proteins recruitment into a signalsome complex. The dynamics of such a complex is not well understood but a conserved NPxxY motif located within transmembrane 7 and juxtamembrane helix 8 of the receptor was found to modulate G protein activation. Here by means of receptor mutagenesis we unravel the role of...
