TABLE 4

Analysis of the pharmacological effects and structural role of individual residues of the human P2Y1 receptor, deduced from site-directed mutagenesis, molecular modeling, and homology to other GPCRs Where applicable, the data indicate the effects of single amino acid replacement on the activation of PLC by mutant human P2Y1 receptors transiently expressed in COS-7 cells and results of molecular modeling of the docked complex of 2-MeSADP or ATP within the wild-type hP2Y1 receptor (see Moro and Jacobson, 2002; Costanzi et al., 2004; and references therein).

  • N.A. not applicable; EL extracellular loop; IL intracellular loop

  • a Residue identifier of format X.YZ refers to the TM X and residue YZ with respect to a highly conserved amino acid in each TM numbered 50 (Ballesteros et al., 2001; Costanzi et al., 2004); potency ratio shown is EC50 at mutant receptor divided by EC50 at the wild-type; the EC50 of 2-MeSADP at the wild-type human P2Y1 receptors was reported as 2.2 ± 0.5f or 3 ± 1d nM

  • b Applies only to ground state of receptor

  • c Not mutated, prediction from modeling only

  • g Modulatory toward effects of agonist and nucleotide antagonist

  • h Analogous to E(6.30) of the β2 adrenergic receptor involved in an `ionic lock' with R(3.50) but no electrostatic interaction with V(3.50) of the P2Y1 receptor is possible; for the P2Y1 receptor, a similarly placed interaction is predicted between R(6.30) and H(3.49)

  • i Mutation precludes only activation by agonist, but not binding of agonist or antagonist

  • j Guo et al. (2002)

  • k Analogous to the N of the NPxxxY motif involved in activation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (Claeysen et al., 2002) and other receptors

  • l Moro et al. (1993)

  • m Mutation precludes only activation and binding of agonist, but not binding of antagonist

  • n An eighth helical region (cytoplasmic), by analogy to rhodopsin; a putative palmitoylation site (Cys) in this region is predicted for P2Y4, P2Y12, and P2Y14, but not P2Y1 receptors
