Antagonist-Induced Intracellular Sequestration of Rabbit Bradykinin B<sub>2</sub>Receptor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In a contractility assay based on the rabbit jugular vein, the structurally related drugs NPC 17731 or icatibant (1 to 3 nmol/L) were insurmountable antagonists of bradykinin (BK) B(2) receptors (B(2)Rs). After ample washing (3 hours), the antagonism exerted by these peptides was not reversible. By contrast, the antagonist LF 16. 0687 (30 to 100 nmol/L) was competitive and reversible. A rabbit B(2)R-green fluorescent protein (B(2)R-GFP) conjugate was expressed in mammalian cells. In COS-1 cells, it exhibited an affinity for [3H]BK (K(D)=1.61 nmol/L) similar to that of the wild-type rabbit B(2)R. The stably expressed construction in HEK-293 cells was functionally active (phospholipase A(2) assay), and the antagonists mentioned above retained their respective surmountable or insurmountable behavior. Competition of [(3)H]BK binding to B(2)R-GFP by the antagonists or BK was largely reversible after a 3-hour washout period at 0 degrees C; at 37 degrees C, icatibant or NPC 17731 effects were not reversible. B(2)R-GFP was visualized in the plasma membranes of HEK-293 cells and rapidly internalized in response to BK. NPC 17731 or icatibant slowly translocated B(2)R-GFP into cells over 24 hours, whereas LF 16.0687 had no effect on the subcellular distribution of B(2)R-GFP. Cell extract immunoblotting with anti-GFP antibodies revealed a 101- to 105-kDa protein that was not significantly degraded on 24 hours of cell treatment with any of the ligands but was translocated in part to the 15 000-g pellet of the extract on treatment with BK or the noncompetitive antagonists. NPC 17731 and icatibant are noncompetitive, nonequilibrium antagonists that promote the cellular sequestration of rabbit B(2)R expressed in an heterologous system.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
