A critical protein kinase C phosphorylation site on the 5‐HT<sub>1A</sub> receptor controlling coupling to N‐type calcium channels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The importance of specific protein kinase C (PKC) sites for modulation of the inhibitory coupling of 5-HT(1A) receptors to N-type Ca(2+) channels was examined using patch-clamp techniques in F11 rat dorsal root ganglion x mouse neuroblastoma hybrid cells. The PKC activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 10 nM) reduced by 28.6 +/- 6.8 % 5-HT-mediated, but not GTP-gamma-S-induced, inhibition of Ca(2+) current, whereas a higher concentration of PMA (500 nM) inhibited both the actions of 5-HT and GTP-gamma-S. 5-HT(1A) receptor expression plasmids with or without mutation of a single PKC site in the second intracellular loop (i2, T149A) or of three PKC sites located in the third intracellular loop (i3, T229A-S253G-T343A) were stably transfected into F11 cells. The T149A 5 HT(1A) receptor inhibited forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP levels but was largely uncoupled from Ca(2+) channel modulation. In one (i2) clone a response rate to 5-HT of 31.6 % was obtained. The T149A mutant displayed markedly reduced sensitivity to PMA (10 nM) compared to wild-type 5-HT(1A) receptors, with only a 13.4 +/- 3 % reduction in 5-HT-induced channel inhibition; when exposed to 500 nM PMA, reductions in the action of 5-HT were comparable to those of the wild-type receptor. By contrast, the i3 mutant displayed comparable sensitivity to the wild-type 5-HT(1A) receptor to either concentration of PMA. PMA at 10 nM exhibited a similar uncoupling effect on the response of the endogenous opiate receptor to the agonist D-alanine-5-leucine-enkephalin (DADLE) in wild-type and T149A mutant-expressing clones. The T149 site of the 5-HT(1A) receptor is crucial for receptor uncoupling by sub-maximal PKC activation while at maximal PKC activation, downstream sites uncouple G proteins from the N-type Ca(2+) channel.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
