Abstract excerpt
His101 of the GABA(A) receptor alpha1 subunit is an important determinant of benzodiazepine recognition and a major site of photolabeling by [3H]flunitrazepam. To investigate further the chemical specificity of the residue in this position, we substituted it with phenylalanine, tyrosine, lysine, glutamate, glutamine, or cysteine. The mutant alpha subunits were coexpressed with the rat beta2 and gamma2 subunits in...
