Increased drinking in mutant mice with truncated M5 muscarinic receptor genes

Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 2002
The rarest and least understood of the muscarinic receptors is the M5 subtype. Recombinant methods were used to create mutant mice with a deletion in the third intracellular loop of the M5 receptor gene. Salivation induced by the nonselective muscarinic agonist pilocarpine (1 mg/kg s.c.) was reduced in homozygous mutants from 15 to 60 min after ...

Evaluation of 1,2,5-thiadiazoles as modulators of M₁/M₅ muscarinic receptor subtypes.

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2014
Abstract Studies have demonstrated the presence of allosteric binding sites on each of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes. Since most drugs targeting muscarinic receptors bind to the highly conserved orthosteric binding site, they fail to achieve appreciable subtype selectivity. Targeting non-conserved allosteric sites may provide

Selectivity mechanism of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonism through in silico investigation.

Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics - PCCP, 2022
Structures of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors illustrate the strikingly high degree of homology of the residues among isoforms, thus leading to difficulty in achieving subtype selectivity when targeting these receptors and causing undesired side ...

Characterizing the Contribution of Muscarinic Receptor Subtypes to Inspiratory Bursting Activity at Hypoglossal Motor Neurons of CD1 Mice

The FASEB Journal, 2022

Cloning and expression of the human and rat m5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor genes

Neuron, 1988
The human and rat genes for a fifth muscarinic receptor have been cloned and expressed in mammalian cells. The 532 amino acid human protein has 89% sequence identity to the 531 amino acid rat protein and is most closely related to the m3 receptor. Both proteins are encoded by single exons.

Effects of postnatal maturation on muscarinic acetylcholine receptor distribution in hypoglossal motorneurons

The FASEB Journal, 2022
Upper airway patency is decreased during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep due to loss of genioglossus (primary tongue protruder) tongue muscle tone.

Development of antisera selective for m4 and m5 muscarinic cholinergic receptors: distribution of m4 and m5 receptors in rat brain.

Molecular Pharmacology, 1993
A portion of the cDNA sequence corresponding to the third intracellular loop of either the m4 or m5 muscarinic cholinergic receptor was ligated into the pRIT23 or pET-3a expression vector, respectively. The expressed fusion proteins were purified and used to develop selective polyclonal antisera to the m4 and m5 muscarinic receptors.

Intramolecular interactions in muscarinic acetylcholine receptors studied with chimeric m2/m5 receptors.

Molecular Pharmacology, 1994
Current models of the three-dimensional structures of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and other G protein-coupled receptors are based primarily on high-resolution electron diffraction data obtained with bacteriorhodopsin, the molecular structure of which is characterized by the presence of seven alpha-helical transmembrane domains (TM I-VII ...

Characterization of methanthelinium binding and function at human M1–M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors

Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2018
Firstly, it was determined whether methanthelinium bromide (MB) binds to human M1-M5 (hM1-hM5) muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in comparison to the classical muscarinic antagonist N-methylscopolamine (NMS). [3H]NMS dissociation binding experiments revealed an allosteric retardation of dissociation at 100 μM of MB ranging from none in hM3 to 4.6-fold

Localization of the m5 muscarinic cholinergic receptor in rat circle of Willis and pial arteries

Neuroscience, 2003
The expression and microanatomical localization of the muscarinic cholinergic m5 receptor subtype was investigated in rat circle of Willis and pial arteries by in situ hybridization, immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. In situ hybridization histochemistry revealed a strong signal in the endothelium of circle of Willis and pial arteries and a ...
