Abstract excerpt
Prostaglandin (PG) E2 binds to PGE receptor EP3 subtype and induces Gi activity. To assess the role of the interaction of the carboxylic acid group of agonists and its putative binding site, Arg-309 in the seventh transmembrane domain of EP3alpha receptor, in receptor activation, we have mutated the positively charged Arg-309 to the polar but uncharged Gln (EP3alpha-R309Q) and Asn (EP3alpha-R309N), and to the...
