18. 3+. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 99:2002;2660-2665 The structure of antagonist-bound m1-LBR is presented. Also, analysis of the Gd-binding site revealed details of the LB2-LB2 contact site, which consists of four acidic residues. Out of the four acidic residues, Glu 238 is conserved among all subtypes and Asp 242 is replaced by glutamate in other subtypes. Furthermore, Asp 191 and Glu 231 are found in the surrounding area, and thus this site has a high negative charge.

Chem. 278:2003;4313-4321 Mutation analyses of mGluR1 ligand binding residues are presented. The magnitude of the ligand-binding capacities and the amplitude of the intracellular signaling were almost correlated. Alanine substitution of the four residues that interact with the α-amino group of glutamate in the crystal abolished responses both to glutamate and quisqualate. Mutations in the three residues that interact with the γ-carboxy group of glutamate caused a loss of responsiveness to glutamate but not to quisqualate. The main five residues in the LB1 dimer interface were also mutated; a mutant in which Ile was replaced with Ala at position 120 lost the capacity for signal propagation.

Tas1r3, encoding a new candidate taste receptor, is allelic to the sweet responsiveness locus Sac. Nat. Genet. 28:2001;58-63 The mutated residue in a mouse strain in which the sense of taste was abolished was investigated. A mutation whereby Ala replaces Ile at position 160 in T1r3 produces an extra glycosylation site at the residue corresponding to that of the mGluR1 LB1 dimer interface. The authors speculate that this would interfere with dimerization.

29. B receptor function. EMBO J. 20:2001;2152-2159 Various chimeric combinations of GB1 and GB2 subunits were constructed and their ligand binding properties and other functionalities, including G-protein coupling, were examined. The GB2 cytoplasmic region contained the determinant for G-protein coupling; however, the GB1 cytoplasmic region improved the coupling efficacy. The GB2 subunit increases GABA affinity to the GB1 subunit. These data reveal that there are multiple allosteric interactions between the two subunits.
