Abstract

Quantitative bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) analysis was applied to the study of beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenergic receptor homo- and heterodimerization. To assess the relative affinity between each of the protomers, BRET saturation experiments were carried out in HEK-293T cells. beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenergic receptors were found to have similar propensity to engage in homo- and heterotropic interactions suggesting that, at equivalent expression levels of the two receptor subtypes, an equal proportion of homo- and heterodimers would form. Analysis of the data also revealed that, at equimolar expression levels of energy donor and acceptor, more than 80% of the receptor molecules exist as dimers and that this high incidence of receptor dimerization is insensitive to receptor density for expression levels varying between 1.4 and 26.9 pmol of receptor/mg of membrane protein. Taken together, these results indicate that most of the receptors expressed in cells exist as constitutive dimers and that, at least in undifferentiated fibroblasts, the proportion of homo- and heterodimers between the closely related beta(1)- and beta(2)-adrenergic receptors is determined by their relative levels of expression.

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.
