1 Mb) is embedded in a large clade within the alpha-Proteobacteria that contains only small-genome, intracellular inhabitants such as Ehrlichia, Wolbachia pipientis and mitochondria [ 12].
To screen for the presence of the mutation, the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor insert was cut from the vector using Hind III (895) and EcoR1 (1841) and cut with Ddel.
Mutations of the opossum alpha-2C adrenergic receptor cDNA in pRc/CMV vector described previously [ 21 ] was accomplished using the QuickChange™ Site Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Stratagene, LaJolla, CA).
To test this hypothesis, we mutated the opossum alpha-2C serines and threonine residues to alanines and valine, respectively, and tested whether the expressed receptors would down-regulate.
The opossum alpha-2C adrenergic receptor has a very similar acidic serine motif (EESSTSE) in the third intracellular loop (Figure 1; [ 21 ] ), whereas the human alpha-2C receptor has a DESSAAAE sequence in the same region (Figure 2; [ 22 ] ). Thus, we postulated that the lack of down-regulation in the human alpha-2C was related to having only two rather than four serines in the motif, and furthermore that the ability of the opossum alpha-2C to undergo down-regulation was dependent on having all four serine/threonine residues in the EESSTSE motif.
