The L148S mutation does not alter the expression, localization, or
ligand-binding properties of hGPR54. A, immunoprecipitation of WT
and L148S hGPR54-GFP. B, confocal microscopy showing the localization
of WT and L148S hGPR54-GFP. C, cell surface expression levels of WT
and L148S HA-hGPR54 measured using fluorescence-activated cell sorting
analysis. D, saturation binding of 125I-labeled KP-10 to
membranes from WT and L148S hGPR54 expressing HEK293 cells. The results
presented in A and B are representative of three experiments
performed in duplicate, and C and D show the means ±
S.E. of three or four experiments performed in triplicate. IP,
immunoprecipitation; IB, immunoblot.
