Influence of receptor expression level on GABA potency (EC50). HEK 293 cells were transfected with 2 μg of pRKGB1 and various concentrations of pRKGB2 (from 0.05 to 2 μg), and the specific [125I]CGP64213 binding (expressed as the percentage of that measured on cells transfected with 2 μg of both pRKGB1 and pRKGB2) and GABA EC50 values were determined. Values obtained are indicated by open circles in this plot. Closed circles correspond to the data obtained with the various GB2 mutants coexpressed with the wild-type GB1 and indicated in Table 2.Numbers indicate the data obtained with the GB2-P136S, T159S, T160S, D256Y, F354E (1); GB2-D256W (2); GB2-P136S, D256Y (3); GB2-P136S, T159S, T160S, D256Y (4); GB2-D256Y (5); and GB2-F208A (6).
