Abstract:
'Embryonic' muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels (nAChRs) bind ligands at interfaces of ?- and ?- or ?-subunits. ?? and ?? sites differ in affinity, but their contributions to opening the channel have remained elusive. We compared high-resolution patch clamp currents evoked by epibatidine (Ebd), carbamylcholine (CCh) and acetylcholine (ACh). Ebd binds with 75-fold higher affinity at ?? than at ?? sites, whereas CCh and ACh prefer ?? sites. Similar short (?O1), intermediate (?O2)...     »
