Signaling of V1a/VRR1 receptor. (A) Dose-response curve of AVP-induced calcium production mediated by the HEK293 cells stably expressing chimeric receptor and transiently cotransfected with aequorin plasmid. (B) Dose-response curve of AVP for stimulation of adenylyl cyclase activity mediated by control HEK293 cells (square) and HEK293 cells stably expressing chimeric receptor (triangle). (C) Attenuation of V1a/VRR1 response to AVP by point mutations in the receptor. Shown are dose-response curves of AVP-induced calcium production mediated by HEK293 cells transiently cotransfected with aequorin and V1a/VRR1 receptor (squares) or V1a/VRR1(D96A) receptor (triangles) or with V1a/VRR1(Q107A) receptor (diamonds). The data are represented as the mean of two independent experiments, each done in duplicate or triplicate.
