319 mutants, and peptidomimetics corresponding to the entire C-terminus cytosolic fragment of UT (UTc-myc
319–389). (B and C) Traces of Iso (10–4 M, 2 s)-evoked current before (1), during (2) a 1-min hUII (10−8 M) application and after 22-min washout (3). (B) Currents recorded from CHO coexpressing GABAAR and UTHA (Control), UTHA

319. Corresponding average time course of the current, in the absence or presence of UT truncated mutants. (C) Current traces recorded from CHO-UT-GABAAR, in the absence or presence of UTc-myc
319–389. Corresponding average time course of the Iso-evoked current, in the absence or presence of UTc-myc
319–389. In B, significance was only annotated above the time course graph during hUII perfusion and after 18-min washout, for clarity. Data are mean ± SEM from 3 to 13 cells. ns, non significant; *, P<0.05; ** P<0.01 compared with the corresponding control Iso-evoked current.
