| Abstract | Point mutations and molecular modeling have been used to study the activation of the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) by the functionally selective agonists 4-n-butyl-1-[4-(2-methylphenyl)-4-oxo-1-butyl]-piperidine (AC-42), and 1-[3-(4-butyl-1-piperidinyl)propyl]-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone (77-LH-28-1), comparing them with N-desmethylclozapine (NDMC) and acetylcholine (ACh). Unlike NDMC and ACh, the activities of AC-42 and 77-LH-28-1 were undiminished by mutations of Tyr404 and Cys407 (transmembrane helix 7), although they were reduced by mutations of Tyr408. Signaling by AC-42, 77-LH-28-1, and NDMC was reduced by L102A and abolished by D105E, suggesting that all three may interact with transmembrane helix 3 at or near the binding site Asp105 to activate the M1 mAChR. In striking contrast to NDMC and ACh, the affinities of AC-42 and 77-LH-28-1 were increased 100-fold by W101A, and their signaling activities were abolished by Y82A. Tyr82 and Leu102 contact the indole ring of Trp101 in a structural model of the M1 mAChR. We suggest the hypothesis that the side chain of Trp101 undergoes conformational isomerization, opening a novel binding site for the aromatic side chain of the AC-42 analogs. This may allow the positively charged piperidine nitrogen of the ligands to access the neighboring Asp105 carboxylate to activate signaling following a vector within the binding site that is distinct from that of acetylcholine. NDMC does not seem to use this mechanism. Subtype-specific differences in the free energy of rotation of the side chain and indole ring of Trp101 might underlie the M1 selectivity of the AC-42 analogs. Tryptophan conformational isomerization may open up new avenues in selective muscarinic receptor drug design. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
