| Abstract | To characterize binding sites for nonpeptide angiotensin antagonists on the human angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1 receptor) we have systematically exchanged segments of the human receptor with corresponding segments from a homologous Xenopus laevis receptor, which does not bind the nonpeptide compounds. Substitution of transmembrane segment VII of the human AT1 receptor dramatically reduced the binding affinity of all of the 11 nonpeptide antagonists tested (55- to > 2000-fold) with no effect on the binding of angiotensin. The affinity for the nonpeptide compounds decreased additionally one order of magnitude when transmembrane segment VI and the connecting extracellular loop 3 from the Xenopus receptor were also introduced into the human AT1 receptor. Exchanges of smaller segments and single residues in transmembrane segments VI and VII and extracellular loop 3 revealed that the binding of nonpeptide antagonists was dependent on nonconserved residues located deep within the transmembrane segments VI and VII, in particular Asn295 in transmembrane segment VII. Surprisingly, all exchanges in transmembrane segment VII, including the Asn295 to Ser substitution, had a more pronounced effect on the binding of the competitive antagonists relative to the insurmountable antagonists. It is concluded that the binding mode for peptide and nonpeptide ligands on the AT1 receptor is rather different and that competitive and insurmountable antagonists presumably bind to overlapping but distinct sites located in transmembrane segments VI and VII. |

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.
