| Abstract | The molecular mechanism of action for two chemically distinct and highly selective, nonpeptide antagonists, CP-96,345 and SR-48,968, was studied by development of a series of chimeric constructs between their respective target receptors, the NK1 (substance P) and NK2 (neurokinin A) receptors. The binding affinities of the natural peptide ligands, substance P and neurokinin A, were not affected by exchanging almost the entire C-terminal half of the NK1 receptor with the corresponding segment of the NK2 receptor. In contrast, it was found that transfer from the NK2 to the NK1 receptor of a segment corresponding to transmembrane segment VI, the amino-terminal half of transmembrane segment VII, and the connecting extracellular loop 3 completely switched the susceptibility for the nonpeptide antagonists. This chimeric exchange, corresponding to 17 nonconserved residues, conveyed full susceptibility for the NK2-specific compound SR-48,968 to the previously unresponsive NK1 receptor--i.e., the Ki value for inhibition of binding of 125I-labeled substance P decreased from > 10,000 to 0.97 nM. At the same time the affinity for the NK1-selective compound CP-96,345 decreased > 30-fold. The actual binding site for SR-48,968 was localized to this region of the NK2 receptor by use of [3H]SR-48,968, which did not bind to the NK1 receptor but bound with similar high affinities to the wild-type NK2 receptor and to the chimeric NK1 receptor with the NK2 receptor segment incorporated around transmembrane segments VI and VII, Kd = 1.5 nM and 1.0 nM, respectively. Our data indicate that two chemically very different nonpeptide antagonists, CP-96,345 and SR-48,968, act through epitopes located around transmembrane segment VI on their respective target receptors and that at least the nonconserved residues in these epitopes are not important for the binding of the natural peptide ligands, substance P and neurokinin A. |

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.
