Responses mediated by rat P2X2 confirm 2-fluoro-ATP (2F-ATP) is a full agonist. (A) Recordings under whole-cell voltage clamp from HEK cells expressing rat P2X2 show the response to ATP increases with concentration. (B) Responses to ATP, ADP, ATP (repeat stimulus), 2F-ATP and ATP (repeat stimulus) presented sequentially each at 10 μM, relative to ATP at 1 mM (mean and SEM, *P < 0.05 ANOVA with Bonferroni post-test, NS non-significant). (C) Current traces in one of the experiments underlying data in (B). Applications of ADP, 2F-ATP and 1 mM ATP each followed three applications of ATP. (D) Response to 2F-ATP in flies expressing rat P2X2 to increasing concentrations (mean and SEM, N = 10, EC50 = 17.2 μM with 95%CI 9.5 to 31.3 μM). Black dashed curve is fitted to ATP data from Fig. 1F for comparison.
