Glycosylated or not, EL2 is thought to play a role in receptor structure, signaling, and ligand recognition, as well as ligand binding, both orthosteric and allosteric..

Next, site-saturation mutagenesis was performed on positions 71 and 74 of the A 2B R. From each of the two mutagenesis sites, 100 colonies were chosen for identification.

In a previous study, random mutagenesis combined with a yeast screen for activating mutant receptors have been performed on two parts of the adenosine A 2B receptor in order

We subsequently transformed this library in the MMY24 yeast strain and started to screen at a concentration of 1 mM 3AT, a concentration at which, as a negative control, yeast

In Chapter 4, a random mutagenesis screen of the A 2B R was described containing mutations in the fragment TM4-EL2-TM5, where mutant receptors were selected that

A comparison with the data obtained in Chapter 4 showed that a cysteine-rich cluster in EL2 acts as a negative regulator of activation, keeping the receptor silent, whereas

De gemuteerde receptoren die we identificeerden uit deze screen lieten allemaal een verminderde constitutieve activiteit zien, maar ook een verminderde activatie door de agonist..
