Abstract

An exceptionally conserved sequence that is shared among most G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors is an aspartate-arginine-tyrosine triplet that is located at the second cytoplasmic domain. Using the ml subtype of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors as an example, a point mutation of the arginine residue at position 123 into asparagine was induced. This mutation resulted in a complete blockade of the carbachol-induced increases of PI hydrolysis and intracellular $Ca^2$$^{+}$ level, in spite of the expression of the wild-type and mutant receptors at similar concentrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells. In marked contrast, the muscarinic agonist carbachol induced concentration-dependent enhancement of the activity of NO synthase at mutant ml receptors although the enhancement was significantly smaller than at wild-type ml receptors. These data suggest that this highly conserved arginine residue plays an important role in coupling of muscarinic receptors to the second messenger systems and the presence of alternate mechanisms of activation of neuronal NO synthase which might be operative in the absence of large changes in the concentration of cellular $Ca^{2+}$.2+/.
