Abstract

The residue involved in sodium regulation of G-protein-coupled receptors has been identified by site-directed mutagenesis of the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor gene. Mutation of Asp-79 to Asn-79 entirely eliminates allosteric regulation of ligand binding by monovalent cations without perturbing the selectivity of adrenergic binding or allosteric modulation of that binding by amiloride analogs. The high degree of conservation of this aspartate residue in all G-protein-coupled receptors, without even a conservative change to glutamate, underscores the probable importance of this allosteric regulation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
