Values represent the mean ± SEM from three or more independent experiments with the number of individual experimental replicates from the current study shown in parenthesis.

N.T.: not tested; N.D.: not determined; N.R.: no response; ACh, acetylcholine.

*

Data and analysis from pERK1/2 assays were generated in the current study, Nawaratne et al, J. Bio. Chem. 2010, and Leach et al, Mol. Pharm. 2011. logτ ACh were calculated from the operational model of agonism. log τ LY298 and log αβ were calculated using a simplified operational model of allosterism.

Data and analysis from [3H]-QNB interaction binding assays were generated in Nawaratne et al, J. Bio. Chem. 2010, Leach et al, Mol. Pharm., and Thal et al, Nature 2016.

logτC = logarithm of the operational efficacy parameter corrected for receptor expression using the maximum number of receptor binding sites as previously determined from Nawaratne et al, J. Bio. Chem. 2010, Leach et al, Mol. Pharm., and Thal et al, Nature 2016.

§

Logarithm of the functional cooperativity factor between ACh and LY298.

Negative logarithm of the orthosteric (pKi) or allosteric (pKB) equilibrium dissociation constant.

**

Logarithm of the binding cooperativity factor between ACh and LY298.

††

Values of logτC ACh, log τC LY298, and log αβ that were calculated in this study. Other parameters are from Thal et al., 2016.

‡ ‡

Values are significantly different from WT M4 mAChR as determined in previous studies.

§ §

All values are from Nawaratne et al, J. Bio. Chem. 2010 with logτ corrected for receptor expression.

¶ ¶

All values are from Leach et al, Mol. Pharm. 2011.

***

Parameters determined from the full Operational Model of Allosterism.

†††

Values are significantly different from WT M4 mAChR (p<0.05) calculated by a one-way ANOVA with a Dunnett’s post-hoc test.
