    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting desensitization of a cell to the effects of a compound. The method comprises contacting the cell with an agent capable of inhibiting phosphorylation, by a protein kinase, of a receptor for the compound present on the surface of the cell. The present invention also relates to a method of screening a compound for its ability to inhibit desensitization. The method comprises: i) contacting a receptor specific kinase-containing sample with the compound under conditions such that interaction between receptor specific kinase present in the sample and the compound can occur, and ii) determining the ability of the receptor specific kinase to phosphorylate the receptor for which it is specific.

    摘要: Disclosed is a transformed yeast cell containing a first heterologous DNA sequence which codes for a mammalian G protein coupled receptor and a second heterologous DNA sequence which codes for a mammalian G protein &agr; subunit (mammalian G&agr;). The first and second heterologous DNA sequences are capable of expression in the cell, but the cell is incapable of expressing an endogenous G protein &agr;-subunit (yeast G&agr;) The cells are useful for screening compounds which affect the rate of dissociation of G&agr; from G&bgr;&ggr; in a cell. Also disclosed is a novel DNA expression vector useful for making cells as described above. The vector contains a first segment comprising at least a fragment of the extreme amino-terminal coding sequence of a yeast G protein coupled receptor. A second segment is positioned downstream from the first segment (and in correct reading frame therewith), with the second segment comprising a DNA sequence encoding a heterologous G protein coupled receptor.

    摘要: A recombinant cell comprising a host cell containing a recombinant DNA sequence is disclosed. The recombinant DNA sequence comprises vector DNA and DNA which encodes a mammalian adrenergic receptor. The host cell is one capable of undergoing proliferation in response to activation of the adrenergic receptor. In one specific embodiment of the foregoing, the adrenergic receptor includes a mutation in the third cytoplasmic loop thereof which renders the adrenergic receptor constitutively active, and the host cell undergoes proliferation in response to the constitutively active adrenergic receptor. Also disclosed are in vitro assays employing the foregoing which are useful for screening test compounds for antitumor and antiatherogenic activity, along with a diagnostic assay for detecting the oncogenic activation of cells in a patient. The diagnostic assay comprises collecting sample cells which express adrenergic receptors from the patient, and then detecting the presence or absence of a mutation in the adrenergic receptor which renders the receptor constitutively active. The presence of such a mutation indicates the oncogenic activation of the cells.

    摘要: Disclosed is a transformed yeast cell containing a first heterologous DNA sequence which codes for a mammalian G protein-coupled receptor and a second heterologous DNA sequence which codes for a mammalian G protein α subunit (mammalian Gα). The first and second heterologous DNA sequences are capable of expression in the cell, but the cell is incapable of expressing an endogenous G protein α-subunit (yeast Gα). The cells are useful for screening compounds which affect the rate of dissociation of Gα from Gβγ in a cell. Also disclosed is a novel DNA expression vector useful for making cells as described above. The vector contains a first segment comprising at least a fragment of the extreme amino-terminal coding sequence of a yeast G protein-coupled receptor. A second segment is positioned downstream from the first segment (and in correct reading frame therewith), with the second segment comprising a DNA sequence encoding a heterologous G protein-coupled receptor.
