Table 2.
Second order rate constants (k2) for decreases in BZD potentiation and changes in I-GABA following MTSEA-biotin modification of mutant receptors.
| Receptor | BZD Potentation k2 (M−1 s−1) | n | I-GABA k2 (M−1 s−1) | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| α1 D97C β2 γ2 | 20.5 ± 5.7 | 6 | ||
| α1 H101C β2 γ2 | 2194.6 ± 354.1 | 6 | 122.3 ± 10.8* | 5 |
| α1 N102C β2 γ2 | 46.7 ± 5.5 | 7 | 52.9 ± 22.1 | 8 |
| α1 S106C β2 γ2 | 28.9 ± 8.2 | 6 | 11.3 ± 3.9* | 7 |
| α1 H101C β2 | 121.4 ± 40.4 | 5 |
The concentrations of MTSEA-Biotin used were variable depending on the mutant and are listed under “Experimental Procedures”. Values are mean ± SD.
Indicates the decrease in BZD potentiation was significantly faster that the increase in I-GABA (p<0.05) for that receptor.
